Taking snacks into the park?

[laura&fam]

Are you still able to bring some snacks into the parks? I haven't been in years and I had children with me before. Security was fine with some granola bars, trail mix, dried fruit, etc. in our bags then. Has it changed?

I've regularly taken in beef jerky, granola bars, rice krispie treats, and trail mix. You should be fine bringing food in, but you could always double check the help section of Disneyland's website to double check.

It's totally fine - just nothing in glass bottles.

Absolutely you can. I'm a longtime vegetarian and have been off of refined sugar for most of my life. I visit DL most Sundays and nearly always bring a full lunch. Occasionally I'd eat the veggie tacos at Rancho del Zocalo but I haven't done that for at least a year prior to the pandemic.

If you bring sandwiches, make sure they are pre-made, not separate ingredients. For example, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are fine. A loaf of bread, jar of peanut butter, and jar of jelly are not fine.

A CM once told that lunch and/or snacks are fine. Anything that resembles a picnic is not.

Haha! That's a pretty simple way to describe it.

Thanks for all the help. I honestly prefer my own snacks.

Me too! It's faster, cheaper and healthier to bring your own. I've never had a churro or corn dog at DL.

Thanks for asking this question, Laura&fam. When I feel comfortable returning to DL, I would want to bring my own food in. Glad to know we still are able to do so. Wishing everyone happy, safe, and fun trips.

We always bring snacks into the park. We also bring our reusable water bottles and refill them in the park. Very handy and saves money!

But you are allowed to bring in a meal/"picnic" to eat in the picnic area by the esplanade. There are larger lockers there to store a cooler (bag or smaller hard side). We've seen families eating simple meals (clearly more than snacks) at the tables in the picnic area.

I’ve seen people bring in entire pizzas and huge bags of McDonald’s. Lol. We have always taken loads of snacks into the parks. Sometimes even making or buying sub sandwiches. I love that Disney lets you do that.
