Greetings, Vanessa, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It’s great to see you hEAR again! Your
Disneyland Resort vacation is almost hEAR, and I couldn’t be more excited for you!
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring food and drinks into the Disneyland Resort theme parks! There are just a few rules to be aware of as you pack up your goodies. First, according to the
Disneyland Resort Rules, coolers can’t exceed 24” long x 15” wide x 18” high. Also, loose and dry ice aren’t allowed inside coolers, so I recommend packing a re-usable ice pack to keep food and drinks cold. Also, alcoholic beverages and glass containers aren’t allowed inside the theme parks.
If you plan on packing more than just snacks, I recommend heading to the
Picnic Area, located just outside the
Disneyland Park Main Entrance, for a comfortable, shaded spot to enjoy your meal. Plus, there’s also a handy
Locker Rental nearby where you can store your cooler or bag. Another helpful trick is to ask for a complimentary cup of ice water from any
quick-service dining location – this way you can avoid lugging around heavy water bottles all day.
As the mom of three little Mouseketeers, I always pack extra snacks to have on hand. I like to pack granola bars, food pouches, fruit snacks, chips, and crackers. My children are obsessed with the Goofy’s Candy Co. Character Gummies, so I usually pick up several packs to have on hand to avoid tantrums!
I hope this helps, Vanessa. Please feel free to stop back with any last-minute questions before your Disneyland Resort adventures begin!
See ya’ real soon!
