Coolers are not allowed at either park. Check out the link: http://www.universalorlando.com/pi_gs_polirest.html

I think a soft sided cooler small enough to fit under your stroller with baby nourishment would be fine. As long as it isn't filled with beer or alcohol, I think it is allowed. They just don't want you bringing those big honking coolers and having a tailgate party.

Snacks and drinks are always handy to have with you when exploring the theme parks. You can carry them with you in a backpack or shoulder bag. Be aware that your bag will be inspected by Security before you enter the theme parks, and you may have to check it in a rental locker before boarding certain thrill rides and roller coasters.

PLEASE NOTE: Coolers are not permitted in either theme park.

a big old honkin cooler on wheels is not permitted....but something softsided and small enough to fit under the stroller should be fine.

you mean something like this?:

It holds 18 cans (just don't bring beer or alcohol)

I realize coolers aren't permitted however they aren't permitted in most parks yet I always seem to be able to bring one as in Disney. Thanks tlinus, my cooler is even smaller than that and I'm going to give it a try. If I have any problems I'll just collapse the cooler and stuff the goods in my bag. No alcohol of course. Again, if anyone has been allowed to enter recently with a small, soft-sided cooler in their stroller please let me know. Thanks to all.

Just back from a Thanksgiving week trip. We brought in a "duffle-bag" type cooler (soft) without any problems. I had water bottles, a couple cans of pop and snacks (combos, wheat-thins). Security does go thru it, but said nothing.
