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! 
would you just take a sandwich, apple, and banana to a picnic?
i doubt it.
they mean don’t bring potato salad, baked beans, deviled eggs, pasta salad…..
and yes they search purses too. (they are still a BAG ya know)
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.
