Rules on snacks?

[YYCmom]

I know I've seen that you can take your Dole Whip into the Enchanted Tiki Room, but what about other shows or waiting lines inside buildings? Can we eat a snack while at Turtle Talk, for example? Or in line for Space Mountain?

Usually CMs will stop you with food before you enter the indoor portion of a queue or before you board for outdoor rides. But I have gotten through the outside check with cups of water and had to toss it when loading. If you have a snack in your bag, no one will stop you from eating it in line. Most queues have trash cans every so often. One notable one is Roger Rabbit. There's usually no CM at the start of the standby queue and no trash cans. And there's always food trash all over the floor in there.

Why doesn't Disney put garbage cans there?

At Turtle Talk, no food or drink. In line for Space Mountain, you can eat/drink in line but I imagine they'd have you put it away before boarding. I have taken a Coke on the ride(paper cup with lid and straw) and I put it in the pouch. (I don't know whether it is allowed or they didn't notice; I forgot I still had it until I was in my seat.)

All rides make you toss your coffee now because some opportunist burned themselves and sued. On most rides you can take your coffee (or booze if you're in DCA) all the way through the line until you board (i.e., beyond fastpass check) except Haunted Mansion -- you'll have to toss it before entering the lobby.

No theaters allow food/drinks (Lincoln, Aladdin, Animation Academy...) except for Tiki Room , where you can bring in any food/drink (not just Dole Whips).

You can't expect people to hold their own trash in their bare hands for the 3 1/2 minutes it would take for the queue to pass a trash can!

The one theater where you can have food is Fantasyland Theater. It's outdoors and there's Troubadour Tavern there were they sell snacks.

You don't really want to pay Disney prices for something, only to rush to eat it in line before you get on a ride and then maybe feel sick because you just ate too quickly. Not to mention the rest of us don't want to be trapped in n indoor queue with the smell of your food.

Wait. What? Booze in DCA? Walk around with it? Open? Really?!

(We can't do that here so I'm all agog at this)

 

[aliceindisneyland]

Yes! You can drink alcohol while walking around in DCA and on DLH and GCH resort properties (I have not stayed at PPH so I don't know rules there.) You can get alcohol at restaurants/bars in DTD but you can't walk around with it.
You can't exit or enter DCA with alcohol -- so you can't take booze through the GCH-DCA entrance in either direction even though the cups are the same on both sides. "separate liquor licenses" is what the CMs have told us.

Rules on snacks is as follows..... snacking in between meals is not only encouraged, it is almost mandatory man! Churros create their own special kind of pixie dust.. all over your front, face and like man no telling where all else. But oh so tasty, and sparkly cute too.
Whatever you do, make sure that you don't drop that last chunky bit of meat from your Bengal barbecue skewer. So sad when that happens, believe me. Yes, before it drops onto the much stepped upon terrain, it hits your clothing, so you end up with stains and are the poorer of chicken. Based upon a true story. I even looked at that nice bit near my feet, thought well 2 second rule. Normally it would be 3 second, but...in a heavily treaded upon ground no way Jose, even 2 second rule cannot really apply, well unless no one is looking or your a 3 year old, and not just acting like one. Too many people around, and not being 3 ....... so not wanting to be a litter bug, I tossed it in the nearest trash receptacle. lol Sigh..... at least I was able to hide the stain on me shirt with one of my Disney pins strategically placed.
If you have a weak stomach, whatever you do, do not take passage on any of the more rambunctious adventures, if your tummy is full. So far, I have been safe, but then I pretty much have an iron constitution. Only Tower of Terror makes me a bit nauseous, and that is on a empty stomach man.....

The Haunted Mansion gummi spiders really are to die for. I do have a PSA about them though, but first I need to take a picture, to post of the tragedy.
you can get away with eating them at the mansion, partly because in their physical realm that is where they reside, and partly because they are so easy to keep in your bag. Well unless they escape. That is an entirely different story.....if you attempt to smuggle in food that is not well hidden, then you will be met at the door by either Sven or one of his relatives. They are a very tight knit family. Their mother was a professional knitter, mostly stockings and unmentionables. I would mention them actually, but then they would no longer be unmentionables... that is how it works. Not my idea, that is the policy as established by the P.K.U. which stands for Professional Knitters Union. Anyway, getting back to Sven, he like his brethren, will tower over you, unless you are over 6 ft 7 inches. Anyway, they will loom over you, like some kind of harbinger of death, just waiting for you to make a grave mistake. Which if you do, they will make you sweep out the cemetery. Ever try doing that sort of thing before when there is natural earth beneath your boots? No easy feet Then if you ever finish with that, you will then be transported into the ballroom, where you will have the pleasure of cleaning up after partying ghosties. You might think that is an easy task, but it isn't because you never know when, what or whom will pop up somewhere, much less what anyone might be doing next. Another story there. lol Eventually, your penance will have been severed, I meant served, and will be allowed to get out, I meant leave.

They had us throw out even cups of water (like the paper cups with plastic lids) before getting on any ride, or gave us the option to stow them in our bags on slower rides. I don't know if they'd allow you to do that on fast rides, but I would say that's not a good idea regardless.

I brought a water bottle with a wide mouth to pour my drinks into, in case I had just gotten something and we were going to get on a ride.

Not that I am a booze hound or anything, but a loverly cocktail while wandering for 12 hours sounds fabulous, and would make sort feet feel better. That being said, disney prices are probably obsurd.

Thanks for all the info!
