Hi Rita!
I think you'll be happy to know that you can absolutely bring in your own snacks and drinks into the
Walt Disney World Theme Parks. Bringing your own food is a great way to save some money to put toward those oh so cute souvenirs. There are a few
rules to keep in mind when packing your snack bag for the day. Glass containers, except for baby food jars, are not permitted inside of the parks. You also won't be able to bring in alcohol of any kind. If you are planning on bringing a cooler, it must be smaller than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" high and know that it will be inspected at bag check toward the entrance of each park. Other than those few rules, you are free to bring in whatever you'd like.
If you're packing a lunch picnic the day you visit Magic Kingdom Park, I have a very special spot I always like to have lunch and I think you'll enjoy it too. As you are walking down Main Street U.S.A toward Cinderella Castle, just passed
Casey's Corner on the left and the
Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on your right, you'll come to a grassy fenced in area on each side. These grassy areas are usually not very crowded and are the perfect place for your picnic with stunning views of Cinderella Castle! If you're lucky and time it just right, the
Move It! Shake It! MousekeDance It! Street Party might be swirling around you as you feast on your packed picnic! This lunch spot cannot be beat.
Hope this helps and happy snacking!
