picnics

[psk]

do the parks allow you to take in a picnic with you ?

Yes they do. You will have your bags searched on entry and we seen plenty of people with picnic trolleys and baskets. There are certain items you won't be able to take into parks with animals though, they don't allow plastic straws so probably won't allow plastic cutlery types of things.

You can take sandwiches and stuff in. Who would want carry a cool box around all day anyway? I like to visit carrying the minimum of equipment. Nothing worse than being loaded down with allsorts when your trying to have fun. The food in the parks is fine, we usually just have lunch but eat breakfast and dinner outside of the park.
Or leave your picnic in the car (cool box required) and go back to it for lunch.<blockquote id="quote" class="ffs">quote:Originally posted by Big_Momma

I have seen a lot of people taking a cool box into the parks then put them in the lockers. We did this on our very first visit (12 yrs ago) but dont bother now.

We tend to have either a big breakfast at the villa or stop off and have a buffet breakfast on the way there. As a general rule we are not that hungry for the rest of the day, but the food in the parks is ok.

I take nothing but me a bit of money and the car keys..I mostly go to the parks for lunch somewhere inside..if not we have breakfast and just snack in the parks...

We share drinks to cut down on costs...
