Can we take our own food in?

Yep! :)

Yes

Yeah

Yes, its cheaper lol

Yes you can. I always take our lunches and have 2 mcdonalds coffees sitting in my stroller cup holders. They never say anything

We often take food, water, and snacks for our kids and never had any problem.

Yes food and drinks are fine to bring into the park.

They weren't checking bags

Don't recall
