Can you bring in small coolers in the parks and keep them in your stroller basket?

I'm talking about small ones that could hold say a few bottles of water. If not, can you toss a few bottles of water in the basket of a stroller and bring them into the park? DH hates tap water and dtrinks lots of bottled water. At $2.50 a pop that can add up with the way he drinks it. Just trying to figure out a way to buy a few at the park and bring a few in as well to help off set the cost. Would this be possible?

When we went last October there was that crazy unusual heat wave, it was 102 degrees. We froze Gatorades and put them in the carriage and it was not a problem at all...than god because it was the only way to keep us hydrated in such heat! We would have spent a fortune on drinks for the five of us!

At the four major parks (AK, DHS, EC, MK) coolers are restricted to "small, soft-sided, which can fit in a locker". And they cannot be rolling bags.

The only restrictions that apply to all parks (theme and water) are nothing in glass containers (other than medicines and baby food) and no alcoholic beverages.

Some things people don't think about (which tend to be in glass) are pickles, salsa, Mayonaisse, Starbucks drinks, Snapple drinks, Tabasco.

At the water parks any type or size cooler is acceptable. I have seen people come through the gate (Typhoon Lagoon) hauling wheeled coolers about 4' x 3' x 2½'. Note that the cooler can be on two wheels or carried, but the way the rules are written you can not have it in a wagon and it cannot have four wheels.

If you show up at the gate with prohibited items we will give you three choices:
(1) Take prohibited items back to your car or resort.
(2) Put prohibited items in the nearby trash can.
(3) (Only for other than alcoholic beverages) If you have plastic bags or cups you can dump the items out of the glass containers and throw away the container.
