What can I take into the parks?

[Josh's Mom]

What can I bring into the parks as far as water and snacks? Don't plan on bringing a big cooler but understand I can bring water bottles and have them refilled. Where can I do that and can I get ice?

You can pretty much bring any food and drink so long as it isn't alcohol, in glass containers, or in large hardside coolers. We have brought lunch for 6 in soft coolers, including canned soft drinks, for example, without a problem. You can get cups of ice water from almost any concession stand or quick service restaurant (not the carts that don't have water though). I have not had luck with them filling bottles, but they'll give me a cup and I can transfer the water myself.

As Simba07 said, with regard to snacks: no alcohol or glass containers (except baby food) and no large coolers with or without wheels.

You can get cups of ice water at the CS restaurants, but you will have to transfer them to the water bottles yourself. Because of health code regulations, CMs cannot take your bottles and fill them.
