Can you eat snacks in line at Disney?

Beginning today, June 16, Disney World now allows you to take your food and beverages in the outdoor queues for attractions. Do note that food and drinks are never allowed in indoor queues – pandemic or no pandemic.



Yes, you are absolutely allowed to eat and drink while waiting in the majority of outdoor and indoor queues at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. In fact, many frequent visitors consider "line snacking" an essential strategy to save time and keep energy levels up during long waits. Disney's official policy allows guests to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages into the parks, provided they are not in glass containers. While you are encouraged to dispose of trash in the provided bins before reaching the boarding area, cast members generally don't mind you having a snack in the queue. The only major exceptions are certain highly themed indoor areas or pre-show theaters (like Enchanted Tale with Belle or Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance) where there is an emphasis on movement and storytelling, or rides where you are about to board a vehicle where spills could be a safety hazard. Always be courteous to those around you and avoid pungent foods in crowded, enclosed spaces.

Waiting in line is a great time to recharge and have a snack. I like to pack a day bag with snacks and water in it. You never know when your kids (or yourself) need a little refueling. Just be courteous of the people around you while you're eating in line, more and more people now have food allergies.

(It also helps if you tell the person next to you what you're doing before you leave the line.) General rules: the fewer people leaving the line, the younger the child, the less disruptive the reunion, and the further back in the line it occurs, the more polite the person is, the more likely it is to be acceptable.

If all else fails, definitely ask the people behind you if they would mind if you stepped away from your place for just a few minutes. You can use your My Disney Experience app to find the restroom located nearest the attraction, and that will help cut down on the time you step away.

I believe a conservative food budget (which is how we do it) is about $100/day, but you could obviously spend a lot more than that. For us, each meal (for 4 of us) costs around $60 (except when we make reservations, and those meals are usually double that), and I splurge on some snacks at around $40 each day.

Non-alcoholic drinks and waters are totally something you can bring into Disney, it's even encouraged! It is so nice to have a drink on hand whenever you need to quench your thirst. You can bring refillable water bottles and refill them at water stations throughout the parks.
