Regular size cooler....

[lillygator]

ok, can't find the dimensions - can we lug on a reg sized cooler? We've always taken a rolling soft one but DH wants a reg one to lug around the other items I make him carry since he is my mule!!

 

[kcashner]

It has to fit thru the standard sized airport scanner. That's the only requirement...but remember that the wheels will add to the size!

 

[lillygator]

do you knwo the size....I can't recall and could not find it in the FAQ

you are allowed to bring a soft sided cooler although it does state that in your contract. We have on all of our cruises and will on this one as well.

Bought a small wheeled cooler today with handle.(38 qt. larger than DCL dimensions) Are we able to transport the alcohol in something else to go through the scanner and then use the cooler in our cabin to keep on ice? Can we then roll it off onto CC? Thanks!

Did you buy a hardside or softside cooler? DCL will not allow you to take on a hardside cooler. The cooler must be able to fit thru the scanner, thus the reason they give the dimensions. The scanners are similiar to ones they have in airports.

It's a hard cooler. So, does that mean I should run out and find a soft sided cooler with wheels hopefully. I guess so, bummer.

Can we just walk on with a case of beer in hand (each hand, lol) with no cooler?

Yes, go get a soft sided cooler... and while bringing alcohol onboard is allowed, DCL asks that it is stored in a carry-on in. This is likely so that this is kept discrete (so the kids don't see it!)

Security will stop you from walking on board with any alcohol that is visible and ask that you pack it in your carry on's.

I have not been able to find a soft sided rolling cooler w/those dimensions. Even the one that Disney store sells is 14 1/2'' H x 14'' W x 13 1/2'' D.

Has anyone found one w/those specific dimensions? Or is the one by Disney ok to use even though it is deeper? My DD is a Pepsi freak so no drink station for her.

You do not have to have a soft sided cooler to bring your drinks onboard. You can just put DD's Pepsi in a duffle bag or any other type of bag and carry it on.

It is the packed dimensions so if the cooler is slightly bigger just remember not to pack it completely full so that when you put it on its side it will fit through the opening of the scanner.
