Taking Food In The Parks

[froghop]

I'm assuming its ok to take food in to the parks, right? I'm not talking a big cooler, just snacks in a back pack.

Perfectly fine. Actually, we carry a small backpack cooler sometimes with water, juice boxes, and snacks. I think as long as there are no glass containers or alcohol, you are fine.

It's more than okay! I've taken in granola bars, apples and mini cereal boxes in before, there's no problem with it

We actually take in a small softsided cooler with water and juice as well as a few snacks. Never had a problem.

Yes!

I asked the same question a little while back and a helpful person posted this for me.

"Guests are allowed to bring food items, such as snacks or foods that do not require heating, into any Walt Disney World® Resort. If you have items that need to be refrigerated, please ask the front desk Cast Member to have a refrigerator placed in your room. Please check with the front desk to see if there is a charge for use of the refrigerator. Guests are allowed to bring food items, such as snacks or foods that do not require heating, into any Walt Disney World® Theme Park. Just inform a Security Cast Member."

At the four major parks (AK, DHS, EC, MK) coolers are restricted to "small, soft-sided, which can fit in a locker". And they cannot be rolling bags.

The only restrictions that apply to all parks (theme and water) are nothing in glass containers (other than medicines and baby food) and no alcoholic beverages.

Some things people don't think about (which tend to be in glass) are pickles, salsa, Mayonnaise, Starbucks drinks, Snapple drinks, Tabasco.

At the water parks any type or size cooler is acceptable. I have seen people come through the gate (Typhoon Lagoon) hauling wheeled coolers about 4' x 3' x 2½'. Note that the cooler can be on two wheels or carried, but the way the rules are written you can not have it in a wagon and it cannot have four wheels.

If you show up at the gate with prohibited items we will give you three choices:
(1) Take prohibited items back to your car or resort.
(2) Put prohibited items in the nearby trash can.
(3) (Only for other than alcoholic beverages) If you have plastic bags or cups you can dump the items out of the glass containers and throw away the container.

Yep.. cooler backpack works great. Freeze a bottle or 2 of water and add other drinks. I take poptarts, candy bars Pringles etc. No problem
