What is considered a "picnic lunch"?

Q. On the Universal Studios website, it says this:

Please note the following guidelines for bringing food and drink into our parks:

â¢Hard-sided coolers
â¢Soft-sided coolers larger than 8.5" wide x 6" high x 6" deep
â¢Coolers, suitcases, and bags with wheels
Please be advised that all bags and personal items are subject to inspection.


My question is, what is a picnic lunch? If I brought a sandwich, an apple, and a banana or something like that, would that be considered a picnic lunch??

Also, I was wondering, does Universal Studios (in FL.) search your purse? I know they search bags but I was curious if they searched small purses as well.

Thank you! :)


Answer
Yes, they will have you open all small bags that are not clear or mesh.

A picnic lunch indicates that you are bringing a whole spread to feed your whole family. One way to think of it is that they normally don't care if YOU have a sandwich or a banana. But if you pack a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a family-size bags of chips, stuff like that, then that is not ok. Half the time, they don't worry so much about what you have as about the bag you are using. They tend to be very strict about bags that are too big, particularly bags with wheels, since they are more likely to cause injury and are therefore more likely to get them sued!

A sandwich and an apple or something should be fine.

Where can I buy a small, inexpensive messenger-style bag?

Q. It need not have several pockets, zippers, and hoopla. Just the bag (big enough to hold a waterbottle, a camera, and my phone), and an adjustable strap. (It's for hiking.) And inexpensive would be nice.

I would rather get suggestions on where to get one, so I don't end up shopping around and finding stuff to buy at every store I visit.

Advice would be appreciated. Thanks!


Answer
J - what about something like an insulated nylon lunch bag?
The padding would protect your camera & phone, and keep the bottle and water on the outside, away from the electronic stuff. Most of them come with adjustable straps.
Another possible solution would be to find a plain black nylon purse. I found one at Kmart, made by American Tourister, which I use for my camera, along with a few odds and ends. Don't worry, it doesn't look girly or anything like that.
Third choice might be to look in the camping, sporting goods, or luggage section of a store. I've seen hip-packs that have buckle straps that could be worn over the shoulder.
Best, and least expensive, place to check out would be your local discount store like Kmart, WalMart or similar mart-mart stores. If there is an Army/Navy surplus store near you, they may have the type of bag you want.
