I have always heard that coolers on wheels are not allowed. I've seen security not allow guests to bring them in. I have also seen them in the parks.

I've been told only soft sided coolers without wheels. Now I'm confused.

Their internal notes say soft sided coolers with no wheels.

I'd go with that. It's worded poorly, but I think it's just saying any coolers of X size with or without wheels are prohibited. So someone can't bring in X size cooler without wheels either.

Coolers with wheels are not allowed as nothing can be pulled or towed.

If they do let you bring it in it is probably because the didn't see the wheels.

If you see these in the parks, it's because they were told when entering that they would have to rent a locker and store the cooler, but they don't listen. Anything pulled behind you is a recipe for disaster and I've seen it happen.

Fouth of July week I watched someone in front of me wheel one right up to security. He looked inside and said "Have A Nice Day".

No, it can't have wheels regardless of size.

Even if they let you bring the small one with wheels ........... why would you when you are not allowed to roll it, pull it etc. Having been tossed to the ground by someone pulling a wheeled cooler years ago ......... I agree with their rule ... you are prohibited ... any object pulled by a person etc.

Nothing in this (prohibited items) indicates to me wheels are an issue other than then maybe counted in allowable size.

• Suitcases, coolers or backpacks with or without wheels larger than 24" (61 cm) long x 15" (38 cm) wide x 18" (46 cm) high. Coolers required for medication may be stored in a locker or at Guest Relations.

Have someone in the party enter in a wheelchair..... hang the cooler off the handle bars.

Once past security.... put the wheel less cooler in the wheelchair?

I guess it also works with baby strollers.

Perhaps attach a Disney logo on the side of the cooler.

Buy a soft sided cooler and a umbrella stroller now you have a cooler with wheels.

The park rules also mention that you can't have anything that is pulled by a person. I interpret that to mean pushing, as in a stroller or wheelchair is fine, but pulling behind you, as in a wagon or small piece of luggage or small cooler is not OK.

I've seen coolers with wheels and suitcases with wheels in the park. Why you would want to bring either into a park and drag it behind you is beyond me.

OP, what is your DH planning to do with it while you are on rides? If you really must have a cooler, I second the suggestion of bringing an umbrella stroller to carry it. (1) It's much easier IMO to push a stroller than to drag something behind you and (2) You can park the stroller with the cooler in stroller parking and be on your merry way until you need something out of it.
