Im going to DL in the end of Oct for 5 days. There are 4 of us. 3 of us have AP's and Im working on getting the other one. We are staying at HOJO w/ the ent. rate.

Forgive me if I repeat something, but I didn't see oatmeal.
Get a large box of individual bags of instant, and use your coffee pot to make hot water for the oatmeal. Also, take some muffins or bagels to go with it.

I forgot about oatmeal! I can use some of the dried fruit from the trail mix to add some flavor. My girls will love the bagel idea too. They love to pick there own from the bakery. Thanks again

I was trying to think of what I took on our last trip. I believe I did those individual bowls of cereal and oatmeal for breakfast so I didn't have to worry about bowls. I took hard boiled eggs too. I have to start my day with some sort of protein and milk generally doesn't work for me. For lunch, we did PB sandwiches with fruit or carrots. Individual OJ was a good choice too. Oh, and I also always take some of the disposable cups with lids and we make hot cocoa/tea before we leave the room if it's chilly in the morning as we're not coffee drinkers. We also took those little bags of mini carrots and some grapes.

We've not really refined our list of what works best for us, but it's getting better. lol
