They don't seem to be too picky if it's a 'light' cooler or backpack filled mostly with water, juice, and/or soft drinks and light sandwiches and snacks. I'm sure that dehydration among guests is a major concern for them since guests are spending a full day in the hot Florida sun. That's possibly why they may be lenient with non-alcoholic drinks in non-glass containers. Also, kids tend to be fussy eaters, so it's probably just a win-win situation for them to allow things like peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and snacks for the family. Most likely, they will spend there money on some other food items sometime during the course of the day.
