Not at all! You can fill your bag with basically whatever you want. I wouldn't bring a cooler in, but we always bring lots of snacks, cokes, bottled water, etc. Sometimes even sandwiches. They will look in your bags, but most will just say what a good idea. Nobody really cares. Have fun!

thanks

I really can't think of anything that they say no to. We go once a year or so, and have never been told no to any food items. I don't think the plastic knife would be a problem either, but you could just pick one up from any of the fast food stands there if you are concerned. Every stand has a seperate area with condiments, utensils, and napkins so you could just grab one of theirs. HTH!

yup bring all the snacks juices and drinks that you can! I would even half freeze some bottles of water so its colder longer

Same here. I took sandwiches, fruit snacks, small bags of pretzels and chips and bottles of water... no problem.

A tip for you... in the park at the hamburger places, you can order a double cheeseburger or hamburger platter, plus purchase an extra bun for .75 and put one of the hamburger patties on that bun, split the fries. Much cheaper than buying 2 burger platters. We did that a few times for our kids.

You can get utensils at any food place in the park. Being summer they probably have a deal on refills with a purchase of a souvenir cup.

Food is very PRICEY in the parks! We paid $40 to cop a squat with hot dogs, fries & soda while waiting for a parade one night. There are a ton of restaurants on International Drive where you can get dinner much cheaper. W/O reservations at WDW restaurants u may have problems anyway.

Another thing we brought alot of were the small size juice boxes... they came in handy too.
