Hey there, Pam! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for sharing your question with us!
Is there anything better than planning your next Walt Disney World adventure? OK, sure, actually going to Walt Disney World is better, but I think the planning process is pretty great as well. With four theme parks, two water parks, and so many dining and shopping options, the combination of magical experiences is almost endless!
I checked the Walt Disney World Resort Property Rules prohibited item list (which you can read
here) to confirm, and loose or dry ice is not permitted in the theme parks and water parks. Reusable ice packs are recommended, but ice sealed inside a bag or container should be fine. If you plan to bring a cooler (or suitcase, bag, or backpack), just remember that they need to be smaller than 24 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 18 inches high.
As with all questions of what can and can’t be brought into the Disney Parks, it’s worth noting that Walt Disney World Security Cast Members reserve the right to prohibit the use or storage of any items they deem harmful or disruptive, even if they aren’t included on the prohibited items list. If you have any questions about Walt Disney World rules or policies ahead of your visit, I’d suggest calling the
Non-Reservation Support line to speak with a friendly Cast Member.
I hope this info is helpful, Pam, and that you have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World. Don’t hesitate to come back if you have more questions. You’re as welcome as can be at planDisney!
Magical travels!
Matt
