Packing a lunch for the parks...

[drsvanhorn]

I have read either on DISboards or another discussion group that you can bring soft-sided coolers into the parks with a packed lunch and leave in a locker until time to eat. Is this really true, or can you only bring in water and snacks??? We are leaving in 10 days and I need to go shopping.

You could bring a 7-course meal for 20 people if you wanted. Below are the only restrictions:

• no alcohol

• no glass containers (except baby food jars)

• no hard-sided or rolling coolers

During each trip we've brought lunch for 4 or 6 to the parks at least twice each time. The security CMs outside the gates see it all. It's not like you're getting away with anything. Some even comment about how hungry they are and jokingly ask you to share your food with them, or say it looks better than the lunch they packed, and so on.

It's perfectly OK to bring your own food into the parks, as long as you comply with the restrictions as noted above.

As a pet peeve (and this is coming from a sometimes brown bagger), the only thing that irks me to no end is people who brown bag their meals but use up seats at counter-service restaurants ... that just annoys me to no end when it's crowded. I find it the height of rudeness to bring all your own food and drink yet hog up tables that should be available to paying customers of that particular food outlet.

Thanks so much. I thought that was the case, but I wanted to be sure. Call it me freaking out close to leaving.

I always found a picknick table or bench and ate my lunch. I packed sandwitches and chips. I heard many passerbys saying they wished they had done the same by bringing their lunch.
