Hi there, Stephanie!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks so much for your great question. I can't wait for you to experience all the magic of the Disneyland Resort!
I'm delighted to let you know that you are more than welcome to bring snacks or other outside food and beverages in the parks. You will want to just double check the official
Park Rules for any restrictions. I often bring water, juice boxes, granola bars, and trail mix for my family when we visit. As much as we love dining in the parks, sometimes a simple snack in my backpack is the perfect way to settle a craving my preschooler may have when we are waiting in an attraction line or traveling from place to place to make our next FASTPASS attraction.
If bringing extra snacks, layers of clothing, or anything else you may not want to carry all day I always suggest
renting a locker in the parks. These are SO convenient and easy to access throughout the day. Also remember that all items brought into the parks will be searched by security Cast Members, so it helps to make things easy to look through in your bags for a speedy entrance.
I hope this helps, and have a Fantasmic day!
