Do they check your bags to get into Seaworld & Busch?

[WDWNewbie]

I have heard that all bags are checked going into Disney--how about Seaworld & Busch? We used to take a soft-sided cooler with juice boxes & fruit into SW & BG. Can we still do this? Are there longer waits to get into these parks with more security checks?

They do check all bags going into the parks these days.
They make you open them, and then they have a little stick they use to poke around.

They're really checking for weapons and alcohol drinks. You might get in if all you're carrying is juice boxes and fruit. On a recent trip to BG, an older man had a softsided cooler and got in.

It doesn't slow the line down that much. They're really quick about it.

I got my bag checked last week at SW. It was one of those teardrop travel bags with a bazillion pockets but they checked it swiftly and efficiently. No big deal at all.-
