A: Guests are allowed to bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverage items into the park for self-consumption, provided they are not in glass containers and do not require heating, reheating, processing, refrigeration or temperature control and do not have pungent odors.

You are welcome to bring almost any outside food and nonalcoholic beverages into Walt Disney World in 2026, provided they do not require heating or refrigeration and are not in glass containers (with the exception of small baby food jars). This is a fantastic way to manage a budget, especially for families. Popular choices include granola bars, trail mix, fruit pouches, crackers, and jerky. It is also highly recommended to bring a refillable water bottle; while a single bottle of water in the park can cost over $5.00, you can refill yours for free at numerous hydration stations. Note that loose ice is prohibited in coolers; you must use re-freezable ice packs instead. If your snack requires a knife for preparation (like a whole apple or block of cheese), ensure it is pre-sliced at home, as large knives are strictly forbidden for security reasons.
