We are going to WDW in 3 weeks and have a stroller. I don't want my family to get dehydrated and wanted to pack some ice and drinks in the cooleer to try to save a few $$. Do you think I would be hassled over this?
I have snuck sodas in before, but not in a cooler. Thanks for the help.
 
No, you won't get hassled. When we were there last August, I took bottled water in a cooler. No problems at all.

Somewhere here or on other sites, maybe even Disney's, I have read two restrictions.

No wheeled coolers (except for the waterparks) and it has to be small enough to fit in a larger locker.


Off the Disney Site (sorry not allowed to post links until I post ten times)

Q. Are there any personal items I should not bring with me into the Theme Parks?

A. Items that you may not bring into the Theme Parks include, but are not limited to:

Items with wheels, such as wagons, skateboards, scooters, inline skates, shoes with built-in wheels, two-wheeled or three-wheeled conveyances, strollers larger than 36" x 52", suitcases, coolers, or backpacks with or without wheels larger than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" high (coolers required for medication may be stored in a locker or at Guest Relations), and any trailer-like object that is pushed or towed by an ECV wheelchair or stroller
Alcoholic beverages
Weapons of any kind
Folding chairs
Glass containers (excluding baby food jars and perfume bottles)
Pets (unless they are service animals)
In Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park (for the safety of the wildlife), balloons, straws and drink lids are not permitted.
 
You won't get hassled, the security guys will take a peek and wave you right through. Make sure to freeze some of the water bottles - keep other stuff cold and then make a nice afternoon drink when they start to thaw. We also bring lots of food, sandwiches, etc.
 

As long as it doesn't have wheels you will be fine. We always bring our own drinks in a cooler.
 
Thanks so much!
I really don't want to pay for 10 sodas a day for dh, ( He is addicted to soda) and it is so hot in Aug.
Plus, it would be nice to give my kids a cool drink without having to lose an arm and a leg for it. ( We have already done that paying for our Disney Cruise!:rotfl2: )
 
No Problem, we take in a backpack cooler filled with ice, bottles of water and a couple of sodas and snack bars. They do the security check and all is well.
