Keeping things cool

[noga]

So, I know that you can't take a big cooler into the park and I wouldn't want to do it.
However, we will be packing our lunch/snacks for the day and those things that need to be kept cool what kind of bag/cooler do you have?
I have a small lunch bag but all of our sandwiches etc will not fit in there.
Anybody has a good cooler/lunch bag that you love and would be easy to carry around the park.

Thanks.

At the security gates you would probably be instructed to put your cooler in a locker. There is a picnic area outside of the parks on the DL side by guest relations. My friends daughter had a sandwich and drink in her backpack and she was allowed to carry it, but was asked to eat it within the picnic area.
I have back country backpacked for many years of my life. Here are is a list of things that you can carry without needing to keep them cool. Peanutbutter and Jelly sandwiches, granola bars, oranges, string cheese (okay for a day trip without cooling), celery sticks and popcorn. I have found that banana's and apples bruise, chips get crushed and even english muffins standup over bread.PS: Use good baggies or containers in the lockers I have seen ants!

You're allowed to bring in one soft sided cooler, the size that holds 6 cans, per person. Should be enough for some sammies and a small ice pack or 2.

Hope that helps!

I dont have one of these (am thinking of getting one) but was wondering if they would allow a shoulder bag that is insulated, something like this

or ( which I saw at the store today in a smaller version-- 18 or 12 can size)

Thanks guys.
Well, I went to a few stores and ended up at Target and got the one is the second link.
It looks big enough for stuff to put in and I can just hanging on the stroller and it looks like a diaper bag

When are you going? We are not going until late April. If you are going before, when you get back, please let me know if you had any problems using this bag.
Thanks
