Hey there, Mike! Welcome to planDisney—where you've got a friend in me!
"The Claw chooses who will go and who will stay," and it sounds like it has chosen you to go on a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth! I'm so excited for you! So, "let's ride the wind, Bullseye," and get your question answered because your vacation is only a few days away!
Mike, I have great news! You are absolutely allowed to bring outside drinks into the parks, as long as they are
non-alcoholic and not in glass containers. I do have one helpful tip to keep in mind. Carrying beverages in a backpack can get quite heavy. I recommend bringing along a reusable water bottle and using the
water bottle refill stations located throughout the theme parks to refill as needed. As a bonus tip: these refill stations are easy to find by typing "water bottle refill stations" in your My Disney Experience app, and faster than Buzz can find a secret mission in uncharted space, you'll quickly locate the nearest water station!
Before I sign off, I want to let you know that you'll be in town for the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. At the festival, you'll find the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series, a variety of artists, and even a Paint by Numbers mural for all Guests to enjoy. My favorite part of the festival is the
Food Studios, where the dishes and drinks taste as good as they look. I can't wait to try the
Deconstructed Strawberry Mint Julep mocktail!Mike, whether you wander through the Festival of Arts or find yourself in Andy's backyard riding
Slinky Dog Dash, I hope you have a magical time. Be sure to stop by planDisney again because we are always here for you—to infinity and beyond!
