How to Sneak Food into an Amusement Park

By eHow Travel Editor

Rate: (4 Ratings)

Paying the admission cost for an amusement park is expensive enough without having to worry about overpriced food. Stash some food and save your money for the souvenirs.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
Stash foods in plastic food containers and close lids tightly to prevent contents from crumbling. As a further precaution against leaks, seal the plastic containers in plastic freezer bags.
Step2
Transport beverages in plastic beverage bottles. Thermoses might leak and glass bottles might break.
Step3
Fill up a backpack with the food and beverages and zip up tightly.

Tips & Warnings

  • Save room in your bag by leaving utensils at home. Pick up napkins and plastic utensils at park restaurants or vendors instead.
  • See if the amusement park provides lockers so that you can sneak in food and store it until mealtime.
  • Rollercoaster rides might cause carbonated beverages to explode.

on 9/25/2008 We pack a cooler with picnic stuff and leave it in the car. At lunchtime and/or dinnertime, we have a tailgate in the parking lot. Lots of fun, good food, and a break oftentimes needed.

on 9/25/2008 We pack a cooler with great picnic stuff and leave it in the car and have a tailgate in the parking lot at lunchtime or dinnertime. It works great. Sometimes you need a break at that time anyway.

on 1/26/2006 Simply tell the person checking your bag that you are hypoglycemic, which means that if you don't keep your blood sugar up you are likely to pass out or go into a coma. They cannot prevent you from bringing food in in that case, and you don't have to hide it. This might not work if you are hugely fat (as hypoglycemics tend toward thinness), so in that case tell them you are diabetic. But you might want to bring along fruit and trail mix instead of chips and beef jerky, in that case.
