Who Allows Food in a Theme Park?
Disneyland: This is our first visit to Disneyland and we were wondering if food is allowed in the park? What can we bring in and what cna't we bring in?
I was wondering if anyone knows if I can bring in a small cooler in the park? Can I bring in bottle waters and some snacks? What is allowed and what is not? Please help, this is our first time to Disneyland. Thank you for all your help.
which one you going to, i think anything is allowed in the park, been a long time since ive been must admit ive been to three of them though and i think you allowed your own food. Even if not, just smuggle some in! thier a big enough monopoly that makes loads of money!
Disneyland does not officially allow outside food into its parks. It does provide a picnic area just outside the main gate where folks can eat.
That said, people bring bottles of water, soft drinks and snacks in backpacks into the park without question all the time. I've seen few people brazen enough to try bringing in a cooler. Almost, but not all, were directed to the lockers and the picnic area and kept from bringing the cooler in.
All other major parks I've visited have similar policies. Some make explicit exemptions for babies and toddlers (e.g. Legoland) but all look the other way if you keep it small and low-key.
Thank you very much for all the information. I do have a 4 month old baby so I was hoping that they would give me a break. I'll try and bring a cooler. As you said, all they can do is tell me to put it in the locker. Thanks again.
hi we took our own food in disney, in orlando. many people do, it is too expensive in the park, water is about #three dollars a bottle, food is expensive, tweny dollars for burgers and chips, in the world show case
I think Disneyland's policy is a good one. Provide a picnic area just outside the gate and be lenient about beverages, etc. Coolers not allowed.
When I visited Cedar Point some years back, it allowed food and coolers into the park and had sheltered picnic tables just off the main entrance. Don't know if they still do that now or not.
Although it may be expensive for some to buy food at a park, especially large families, restaurants try offer food usually at competitive outside prices. At least that is what I have noticed.
Remember, food sales are needed for the park to make money and keep it operating. Same reason movie theaters don't want you bringing food into them either.
"Are you packing any candy bars, Sir?"
Eating in a park restaurant should also be part of the total experience. It should be enjoyable, not a hassle.
I always try and eat at Disneyland's Plaza Inn on the hub or the French Market in New Orleans Square. Blue Bayou, if open for reservations that day.
Knotts' web site says the following: "Wagons used as strollers and coolers containing baby food are allowed."
yes i go to disneyland all the time and they do let you bring snacks, and water,in like a backpack purse type, but not cxaring a cooler, they let you bring just about every snack and drink just not alchohal!! hope i was of some help!!
Hi we took Food and drink into disney it gets expensive in the park for drinks and food. Water is $4 in the park to buy, you can buy one at the supermarket and refil at water fountains in the parks. Snacks are expensive, fries are around $6 each.
I would be careful with the cooler, but it probably is ok since Disney probably understands that children can be picky eaters or want small snacks that they can't provide.
I HATE All food policies even at the movies! Bring a BIG Bag and smuggle it in. good baby stuff= cheerieos and stuff like that

I thought you were allowed to bring anything you wanted. just hide from the staff and eat your stuff in food places...i guess you can blend in...
