Surprisingly, Universal Orlando does allow park guests to bring in outside food. Per Universal Orlando policy, what is and what is not allowed mostly comes down to how it needs to be stored. Foods that need to be heated up or refrigerated are not allowed. This means that ready-to-eat snack items are your best bet.
