Hi, Christopher! Welcome to
planDisney! Thanks for bringing your question to us. I can tell you’re a detailed planner, and I love it! I’m the same way. Your trip is just a few days away! You must be so excited. Let’s get to that question!
Yes! You can absolutely bring a filled water bottle with ice into the parks. Also, there are
water bottle fillers at various places throughout the resort. You can search for them pretty easily using the
Disneyland Mobile App. Just go to the search icon and type “Bottle-Filling Stations.” The “Find on Map” button will show up, and after clicking on that, you’ll be able to see every filling station on the property! My favorite filling station is in Galaxy's Edge, though it's kind of out of the way and usually requires an R2Detour to get there.
You are allowed to bring your own snacks, and I don’t believe it matters whether the containers are transparent or not, though security may want to see inside the container if it is not. The ziplock bag may save you some time sliding through security. While I love the idea of bringing your own snacks, I’d still suggest planning to partake in some of the excellent snacks and treats inside the parks. Is there anything better in life than strolling down
Main Street, U.S.A with a
Disneyland churro? I think not. Some of my other favorites are the
Warm Cookies from Harbour Galley, Churro Toffee,
Dole Whip, Asada Fries from
Award Wieners, and
Cheesy Garlic Pretzel Bread from Maurice’s Treats. I may or may not be very opinionated about the excellence of the Disneyland treats!
Christopher, did you know that today is the first day of the
Gaxaly’s Edge Timeline Expansion? You’ll be there just in time to see your favorite characters from Episodes IV, V, and VI out and about and ready for a photo. Set your course for
Gaxaly’s Edge and jump to light speed as soon as you arrive!
I hope your trip is filled with many magical moments! If you have any other planning questions, don’t hesitate to come back to
planDisney. We’re here for you!
I hope you have a magical day!
