Cooking frozen waffles in hotel room?

[nairv]

wow.

 

[clanmcculloch]

Nope didn't say any of that I just said I am not cooking waffles in my room with an iron or hotdogs in a coffee pot. I would rather not go on vacation if I had to resort to that. Will I give my kids fruit, cereal , and muffins for breakfast for the sake of time and because they are not big breakfast eaters you bet. I am sorry I just find going those extremes to cook a waffle somewhat bizarre.

You're still missing the fact that OP was looking for suggestions for how to feed her child an allergy safe breakfast. Suggestions of fruit or cereal or even suggestions for better ways to heat the allergy safe waffles would I'm sure have been greatly appreciated. How is telling her that you wouldn't vacation if you couldn't afford a bigger place with a kitchen helpful? It's not that she can't afford to feed her child; she need suggestions for how to do it in a budget friendly way without a kitchen while still being allergy safe. The whole point of people asking questions on boards like this is that they don't know how to do something or need suggestions for what to do. There ARE plenty of ways that she can accomplish what she needs to do.

I like your sentence that says, "The whole point of people asking questions on boards like this is that they don't know how to do something or need suggestions for what to do. "

Well then I am suggesting that heating up a waffle with an iron is just not sanitary and should not be done and that if your son’s food allergies are so severe that all he can have for breakfast is waffles than perhaps you should look into renting a place with a small kitchen. Oh but you know what I did suggest that in my second post in this thread you must have missed that.

For most it's a few minutes to get hot breakfast but for people with allergies it can take 20-30 minutes to get that same kind of food. That's a long time when you're trying to get to the park.

But wouldn't you think that trying to heat up waffles with a hair dryer or an iron would take about the same time if not longer and messier?

Hotels do have rules and the reason for not allowing toasters and other things like that in certain buildings is because they are a fire hazard. Bigger units that provide this type of things have different fire requirements.

I absolutely agree that the original proposed way OP was going to prepare breakfast was extremely impractical for many reasons. That's why I also explained what we ourselves do in OP's position, in a way that won't violate any hotel rules or impact any other guests in any way. I wanted to demonstrate that OP does have options that can meet her needs.

I made that statement to explain one of many reasons why somebody on OP's position might not want to go buy a hot breakfast from the food court every day.

This will not work with life threatening allergies. Seeing as the child is allergic to most of the ingredients in bread that is a bad idea - there could be some of the allergens in the toaster.

I am glad you said this- I was going to say it as well.

OP, here's my suggestion to you. My sister is allergic to gluten, even like 1 crumb will just about do her in. I have a co-worker that is the same. I've been around food allergies (hi- I'm allergic to cranberries) for-EV-er. (Thanksgiving is always an interesting sight at my house )

Some suggestions:

We go grocery shopping and eat our own breakfast and lunch every day of our trip. If you're staying at a Value, you can request a fridge for medical reasons with no charge to you. You might need to document the medical need, but I never have. Mods and Deluxes have fridges already. There's a good Publix nearby that has allergen-free foods. We always pick up tons of fruit, oatmeal (we make 'breakfast cookies' that just need refrigerated with a mix of a mashed banana, a tiny bit of water, chia seeds or flax meal, raisins, cinnamon, and oats. Bob's Red Mill makes great GF oats! No heating required), chopped veggies, juice, crackers (flax crackers), PB and J sandwich fixings, applesauce packs, cereal, almond milk, nuts, massive amounts of water... things like that.

You MAY be able to pre-cook the frozen waffles at home and then just put them in the fridge, if you don't mind eating them cold.

I know how food allergies go- it makes you very cautious...

It always cracks me up on the DIS when people post without actually reading the thread and the replys people have given. They zero in on one thing LOL


As previously stated there are those of us who live with life threatening allergies that do not resort to cooking with a hairdryer.

Another "fun fact", the OP is most likely not going to see these replies since they left for WDW yesterday. So the "helpful" suggestions really aren't.

 

[wvjules]

Under WDW rules you can not use the coffee makers for making anything else besides coffee and hot dogs so oatmeal is out.

No but the coffee maker could be used to make HOT water which is then poured over the oatmeal. No food actually goes near the coffee maker.

Maybe the suggestions will help someone else though.

Somehow I doubt this thread will be helpful to others. For those that do need assistance with allergies at WDW there are some awesome threads on the Diabilities board (which has been mentioned). The posts there are from people who actually live with allergies and have great informed suggestions. Not a bunch of (at best) second hand information.

 

[wtccheermom]

Right! The OP is looking for suggestions on how to feed her son allergy-safe food in her room while sticking to *her* budget. Being told to save up more money and go when she can afford to stay offsite in a condo with a kitchen, or how she must be a troll, or inconsiderate for alledgedly messing up the irons (I still don't see how people think she is actually going to place the iron directly on the waffle), etc., is not helpful or relevant.

I never said she should I said I would wait to go! Did someone else say that or you just kind of stretching it to fit your argument?

Okay - so we have estabilished that the OP is long gone to Disney World and presumably found something to feed her child. This thread continues for our own edification....

Has anyone ever REALLY cooked a waffle with an iron? I thought maybe OP got the idea from the commercial for a hotel chain (Hampton Inn?) where the male guest is doing exactly that....but the schtick is that they serve "a real breakfast." Do you think this is where the idea came from?

Has anyone wound up with waffle or toast crumbs on their clothes from the iron?

Do you think my sister in law is crazy for feeding her kids frozen waffles still in the frozen state?

How about using the clothes dryer?

Oh no, there's no internet access in WDW

There is, but you have to PAY for it. So not exactly "budget". LOL

Has anyone ever REALLY cooked a waffle with an iron? Nope but if I had any waffles in the freezer I'd try it for kicks.

Do you think my sister in law is crazy for feeding her kids frozen waffles still in the frozen state? Bizzare but not crazy. My kids eat frozen bell pepper slices, that's pretty weird if you ask me.

 

[Minnie]

Nope. Not a troll. Just looking for some info. I've gotten lots of great ideas from these boards for my past trips to Disney and was hoping for some others. I haven't posted a lot, but I've found plenty of answers to plenty of questions on here.

My son is allergic to dairy, eggs, all nuts, sesame, and fish. It is difficult to find things he can eat and things he likes. We just found Van's frozen waffles in the store and he loves them. I was hoping to bring his favorite breakfast along, but we will try something else.

Thanks for your advice...sorry if I sent up any red flags. I wasn't trying to pull a fast one on anyone. I was just looking for some creative ideas.

I also have a variety of food allergies/intolerances. WDW is one if not the safest place I've found to eat out

I love Vans waffles and these are available at most Disney restaurants and food courts. You will not find any of this on the menus but just ask and you will likely be very impressed with what is available

How about using the clothes dryer?

Ya know, some people are sensitive to dryer sheets, though, so if you try this method-- either avoid using dryer sheets or buy the sensitive kind!
