true - a point worth noting though....you still have to get thru the security checks though (at least we did) and you can't pack glass bottles or knives. they don't mind if you bring in an entire pick-nic, but no glass.
We have never had a problem with anyone mucking with out grub or belongings at our beach chairs while we are away having fun in the park. We intentionally don't bring out nice thick Disney beach towels though, and we never leave cell phones, wallets or expensive sunglasses there. What does not fit in a ziplock bag in our fannie pack (that we take with us even in the water - park passes, ID, some cash, car keys) stays in the car glove box or in the room safe.
