Cooler on wheels

[Mike151]

Disneyworld limits coolers to 24 inches long, 15 inches wide, and 18 inches high.
Has anyone done the research to find the biggest wheeled cooler allowed that’s available on Amazon?

Thanks

I don't think any coolers on wheels are allowed.

No, they’re definitely allowed up to the above limits.

Make sure you have no loose ice! I’ve only ever used backpacks, so I have no idea about coolers on Amazon sadly.

Yeah , no ice allowed for some reason but that’s an easy fix. It’s just tedious searching every rolling cooler on Amazon. I can’t believe I’m the first person to ever think of this. I’ll be sure to post the best one here when I find it.

Also to be noted, don’t be angry if it’s not allowed. They don’t enforce it like when it came out, but I’ve seen so many coolers turned away from the waterparks. I’ve never seen a wheeled cooler in the parks ever since they banned wagons and “pulled or trailer like objects”, but I have seen a normal cooler get pushed in a stroller before.

If security does turn your cooler away PLEASE keep in mind that they don’t make the rules, and they are not allowed to bend the rules. I see so many people scream at the security guards during bag check and it breaks my heart. They don’t make the rules, but they have to enforce them.

I’ve also seen an article about coolers not being allowed in AK. I can’t find it again right now, so I don’t know when it was from.

Ironically, PlanDisney has an answer saying they are not allowed, as @drizgirl said.

The rule about loose ice is to make it easier (not to mention more sanitary) to search the coolers for banned items (alcoholic drinks for example).

I think anyone would get aggravated if the guards ignored the printed regulations and made up rules in a whim as they go along.

This is not confusing

“Suitcases, bags, coolers or backpacks, with or without wheels, larger than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" high (61 cm x 38 cm x 46 cm) are not allowed in any theme park or water park. Loose or dry ice is not permitted in these containers. Re-usable ice packs are recommended.”

They do not ignore printed regulations or make up rules. As for a wheeled cooler, it would almost certainly be a prohibited item under this rule:

“Any trailer-like object that is pushed, pulled or towed by an Electric Conveyance Vehicle, wheelchair, stroller or person.” - WDW Resort Property Rules

Feel free to try, no shame in trying and it’ll only cost you a walk to and from your car. At the end of the day, Disney claims that they “reserve the right to prohibit the use or storage of any other item not listed above that we determine may be harmful or disruptive, in our sole and absolute discretion.”

I can assure you, however, that almost all security guards find turning items away to be one of their least favorite parts of their role.

Saw this at MK this week and took this photo for you:

It was a full size backpack on wheels headed into the Buzz queue.
I also saw a similar sized soft sided cooler on wheels but they were walking the opposite way as I was - so no opportunity to take a photo. Hope this helps!

Trying to help. If Yeti is too expensive for you, than here is another alternative: A close runner-up to the Yeti Tundra 45, this 45-quart rotomolded cooler looks nearly identical, though it costs about $100 less. RTIC 45-QT Hard Cooler. Although it kept the temperature at 35.4 degrees (the same as the Yeti), it is 6 pounds heavier, which could add up if you plan on carrying it frequently.
