Hello there, MaryAnn! Thanks for visiting planDisney. I'm glad you're here.
While I love sampling all of the specialty food and snacks at the
Disneyland Resort, I also love bringing some snacks to hold me over during those in-between times during a park day. MaryAnn, you are welcome to bring your food and drink to the Disneyland Resort, provided it is not packaged in a glass container or in any other manner not allowed at the Resort. Alcohol, coolers larger than 6-pack size, and loose ice are not permitted. For a full list of what is and isn't permitted, please visit the
Permitted Items page of the Disneyland website. And to take a peek at the
Disneyland Resort Halloween food offerings - just in case! - visit the
Disney Parks Blog to check out the
Foodie Guide!
MaryAnn, if you are being dropped off at the Disneyland Resort, you can use one of two
Guest Pickup and Drop-Off Areas at the resort. The first is my family's preferred drop-off spot on the Harbor Boulevard side of the resort, accessible from the southbound lane of Harbor Boulevard between South Manchester Avenue and Disney Way. The second option is in the
Downtown Disney Area; take Magic Way from Disneyland Drive, and turn left at Downtown Drive. Follow the signs to the drop-off area. Be aware that standard parking rates apply after the initial grace period.
I hope this information helps plan a most magical visit, MaryAnn! Be sure to download the
Disneyland Mobile App before your visit to ensure a seamless arrival and theme park entry (remember that a valid theme park admission ticket and park admission are required for entry).
Please visit again with any other questions. See you real soon!
