Can you bring sandwiches into the parks??

When we go (we were there last Sunday) we put our small cooler in a backpack and freeze water bottles if it's warm outside. There's enough space for 3 sandwiches, small snack bags of pretzels and sometimes cookies. We take granola bars for a snack and refill our bottles in the park when empty. We are very cheap. We got in on the free birthday pass and bought 2 FL residents passes to share for the other 2 days of birthdays.
Hardly ever have we bought food in the parks and a benefit to that is our dd never asks for any either. We see so many whiny kids asking for more sugary drinks and food while in the parks, and their parents wonder why they are so hyper or so tired. I know what we pack is a lot more healthy than what I can find in a pinch in the parks.

So, I'm guessing this is TOTALLY out of the question?

But I thought coolers weren't allowed? We do have a polar bear one that holds a 12 pack...it's kind of big though. It's a soft sided cooler with shoulder strap [like a traveling bag]. I was pondering bringing it until I read that post taht said coolers weren't allowed.

Hard sided coolers are not allowed. The soft sided one we used could probably hold four siz packs. We took sodas maybe a half dozen sandwiches and some snacks.

Generally hard-side, or big honkin' coolers (like the ones on wheels) aren't allowed. They don't seem to have a problem with the small, soft-side type ones. You just have to open them up for security bag check.

Just found this snazzy cooler backpack online!

That's a really nice backpack. We have an old insulated one, but the straps are really uncomfortable. Going to check out Wally World, but if that fails, may order this one.
