Hi Cindy! Thanks for bringing your question to planDisney.
Your park visit is almost here and it sounds like you're thinking about what to pack to make the day easier and more enjoyable for you and your group. I'm a planner too, so I appreciate this approach! Be sure to also check out the
Daily Events Schedule so you can decide what your must-do activities are for the day. While schedules are subject to change, this will help you build your day ahead of your arrival.
I have good news for you! There's no limit on the size of liquids you bring into the parks. In fact, there's no limit on snacks, sandwiches, or any food items you decide you'd like to have along. You simply need to consider a couple of quick
Park Rules when bringing in food and drinks from home. First, when bringing in outside drinks, remember that alcohol is prohibited from entry through security. Also, keep in mind that glass containers also are prohibited. I expect you might want to keep your beverage cool. There are some rules related to this as well. Loose ice isn't permitted, so pack your bottle in ice packs, and make sure your container doesn't exceed the dimensions currently allowed through security. Your person and bags will be subject to search, so following these rules will make the security process quick and avoid issues with the necessities you've brought along. Rules are subject to change.
Whether you hope to save by bringing snacks and beverages into the parks or simply have a beverage you prefer that isn't available during your park day, bringing something from home is never a bad idea! There is plenty of seating in the parks and picnic tables near the entrance to Disneyland Park for a break during your day. We always pack our
refillable water bottles too, which is a great way to stay hydrated on a long park day with plenty of walking.
I hope this helps!
