Cooler bags?

[dianaphi]

Not sure if this is the right forum or not, but here goes.

Has anyone brought into the parks one of those soft-sided cooler bags? I was thinking of bringing one to keep our water, snacks, and wipes cool, but I don't want to have to check it at a locker. Could I use this instead of a tote bag?

I also have one of those rolling coolers (also soft-sided), think small pullman style, only it's square not rectangular. Would this be allowed?

We leave in exactly 7 days so I'm trying to nail everything down asap. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

I have heard on other threads that you are not allowed to bring in any type of rolling cooler. I guess Disney may allow a small soft-sided cooler, but generally I have heard they frown on larger coolers. In Sept. I plan to bring a small insulated lunch bag or something for DD3 lunch because after our April trip and spending a fortune on food she didn't like/wouldn't eat, I am not doing that again! Other people can probably comment too on their experiences.

Yep, I brought in a small cooler my last trip & kept my dd's sippy cup of milk in there.

This trip I will do the same but I also have a ds now with food allergies so there may be food in it too.

Yay, I leave in 7 days too, rain, rain stay away!

BRING THE COOLER!!! We went in May and brought things in like bottled water, crystal light to go packets and various other snacks and fruit. We did see a couple of people even bring in hard coolers!! One was a small igloo type that could fit under a stroller and the other at Epcot was a full sized rolling cooler I would not want to "keep up" with the rolling cooler, there are enough things to keep track of!

the small cooler is a great idea! we always rent a fridge at the resorts and freeze bottles of water and we use that to keep the other stuff cool and by the end of the night whenever all the other stuff is gone, the water is ready to drink!!
