Peanut butter is too dense and the scanners cannot tell if something is hidden inside it. I have brought the little Jif-to-Go packets with no problem.

So glad this was posted as we are leaving in a month and planned to bring snacks as well. We are flying SWA so get to check 2 bags (free) each. We won't need that much luggage but putting the snacks in shoe boxes in our checked luggage is a great idea! I guess I'll order water and whatnot from Garden Grocer or Wegoshop as we are staying on property with no car.

We used SWA. The 2 free bags are great. We just used one checked bag for food. Basically turned a suitcase into a cooler. Since we checked it, we didn't have to worry about the no liquids rule. We used DME to get to the resort. Everything was still cold by the time we checked in. We had breakfast in the room and saved quite a bit of money and time. We had breakfast out one or two days because we wanted to.

Enjoy your vacation!

I carry many snacks as I have so many allergies and I've never been stopped. No ice packs of liquids but aside from that, you're fine
