Hi, Eltonya! Welcome to planDisney.
How exciting that you're getting ready for a visit to Walt Disney World! There’s nothing quite like stepping into the parks and feeling that instant spark of magic and wonder, whether it’s your first trip or your fiftieth. Planning ahead with questions like these is a great way to make sure your day runs smoothly so you can focus on all the fun! I'm so glad you stopped by with your questions.
So "let's get down to business." According to current
park rules, coolers are allowed in the parks as long as they’re soft-sided and within the size limit (24" x 15" x 18"). Just be sure to use reusable ice packs instead of loose ice or dry ice. As for your second question, you’re totally allowed to leave the park and return later with a
standard ticket, as long as you're returning to the same park you entered earlier that day. So feel free to step out for lunch or a rest and head back in when you're ready. If you'd like to visit a different park on the same day, you'd need the
Park Hopper Option.
If you bring a cooler or other items you don’t want to carry all day, you can
rent a locker near the front of each park. That way, your hands stay free, your water stays cold, and you're ready to enjoy the magic without the extra baggage.
See ya real soon!
Mike
