What drinks are allowed in Disneyland?

Guests are allowed to bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverages into the parks for self-consumption, provided they are not in glass containers, do not require heating, reheating, processing or refrigeration and do not have pungent odors.



Disneyland Resort has a clear policy regarding outside beverages to ensure guest safety and a family-friendly environment. Guests are permitted to bring non-alcoholic drinks into the parks, such as bottled water, sodas, and juices, provided they are in non-glass containers. Reusable water bottles (plastic or metal) are highly encouraged, and free water-refill stations are located throughout both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. It is strictly forbidden to bring alcoholic beverages or any drinks in glass bottles (except for small baby food jars). Additionally, loose ice is no longer allowed in coolers; you must use re-freezable ice packs. During security screening, all bags and coolers are inspected, and any prohibited items must be returned to your vehicle or discarded. In 2026, these rules remain consistent across all Disney properties to maintain a controlled and safe atmosphere, though guests will find a wide variety of specialized themed drinks, including craft sodas and adult beverages (in specific locations), available for purchase inside the parks.
