MNSSHP Cap’s shield ok to bring in?

[CaryHaven]

For an adult costume? It’s plastic but I don’t know if they will view it as a weapon. Also, is face makeup ok? I just want to darken my eyes like the Winter Soldier. I didn’t see anything specifically against this.

Doesn't break any of these rules?

I wondered the same thing about the shield, as my son is going as Captain America, so we found an inflatable shield. I figure there is no way that will be construed as a weapon, and it would not hurt if it accidentally struck someone. Plus, if there is an issue, it can be easily deflated and stowed (or thrown away -- it was super cheap).

 

[CaryHaven]

Thank you, yes I had read this before but on a different website and worded slightly differently. I did not know if they would stretch it by calling the shield an offensive weapon. I guess I was hoping for someone who had seen or gone as Captain America to let me know what they said. I assume the make up would be OK. I do not think it is scary at all but have not dressed up for this party before. Actually I’ve never gone to this party before despite many Disney visits.

 

[CaryHaven]

Yes Twinmom, it’s not that it would be very expensive to toss… I don’t know if we would have to send it back to the hotel or throw it away or if they would confiscate it. It’s only a simple plastic shield. I feel that the costume is not much of a costume without the shield honestly. My husband is not super into dressing up so it’s basically the shield and the T-shirt LOL Hopefully someone will weigh in who has gone as Cap before. I tried looking around online for pictures of people who had gone as the Avengers but was unable to get any hard evidence, not to mention different cast members view things differently. So maybe some people could get in and some people couldn’t, but I am really thinking there’s nothing wrong with the shield. Just kind of winning a second opinion I guess.

I would think the shield would be a pain in the neck to carry around. If you have a trick or treat bag it really might be a pain to be carrying a shield also. If you want to carry food, or a food tray, or take a picture, or walk in a crowded area or small space the, the shield might get in the way. Most people do not wear costumes, so I wouldn’t worry about looking boring without it.

...

That didn't answer either of OPs question, it doesn't address the eye make up or if Cap's shield is interpreted as a weapon. Obviously they know weapons are not allowed as they mentioned in their original post. Not such an easy internet search. Good try.

My son went as Cap a couple years ago with a shield and had no problems. He also went as one of the ruffians/thugs from Tangled (specifically Vladimir for those who love that part haha) and carried a huge plastic axe, obviously plastic (would’ve outweighed me if it was real). Of course, that’s a kid, but I really don’t think the shield will be an issue. And most of them have elastic straps so no big hassle to carry. We’ve worn all manner of face paint, the kids and adults (DD was Mystique when son was Cap, and I was Gamora), also with no issues. He’ll prob get lots of salutes and greetings from CMs . Have fun!

Face makeup is not a mask.
A plastic shield is not a weapon.

 

[Flamingomo]

I wouldn't bring it because I wouldn't want to carry it around all night and where will you put it when getting on rides?
