Best Snacks for Meals?

[TT4Dis]

I would love to hear what are the best snacks that you have eaten for meal substitutes? Also, what are the best kids meals that adults may enjoy? My sister and I and 5 children are headed to WDW in a couple of weeks and are paying OOP for food. I am curious as to what snacks we may enjoy in place of a light lunch. We aren't limited by DDP so anything goes.
Thanks!
April

I could happily eat one of those Mickey-shaped soft pretzels and call it lunch.

Chicken fried rice at the Yak & Yeti (AK) takeout window. 1 snack credit and dee-lish!!

Main Street Bakery has huge cinnamon rolls. The bakery in France has ham and cheese on croissant and other goodies that would work for lunch
I would basically hit the bakeries in each park

I also agree that the Yak & Yeti CS is a good value - portions are big enough to share. This past April DH and I shared the Beef Lo Mein and a couple of egg rolls and were stuffed!

Did you know that you are allowed to bring food and drinks into the park? Don't know if you can get to a store or not, but it saves tons of $. When we had a stroller, we kept a soft sided cooler with sandwiches and drinks. Now that we are out of the stroller, we have an insulated backpack we got from Staples. Also, you can bring the small cool aid or similar drink mix pouches and just add them to water which is much cheaper than soda.

I get some of the kids meals on purpose because they come with apple juice and carrots and its plenty for me.

I love the baked ham and cheese croissant from Boulangerie Patisserie in France at EPCOT. A very filling snack credit! As for kid's meals, The pizza is good at Pizza Planet (DHS) and Pizzafari (AK), and the grilled cheese is good at PVH at MK. Lots of big portions to share for the adult meals at Columbia Harbor House (MK) if you like chicken or fish, too. Sigh...I love Disney food.

Definitely the ham & cheese croissant at Boulangerie in France! Ate this as a snack credit for lunch twice (both Epcot days) - they'll toast it for you, yummy!

At AK, not a meal, but those jalapeno cheese pretzels (not easy to find but available) are delicious.
