Disney will be one leg of our trip. Another leg will have us staying in a hotel with nothing more than an ice bucket and a coffee maker (probably not even one of those that make a whole pot but one of those new one-cup systems they seem to have).
I need suggestions from all of you families out there. We will be in this hotel for 4 days. We will have a car but this hotel is quite isolated and we can't just jump in the car and go to McDonalds. Unless you eat in the hotel restaurant ($$$$$$$$), forget it. This is our 'pinching pennies' portion of our trip.
What are some things I can get on the way into this hotel to eat. Here is what I've thought of. Remember, we have no access to a fridge or microwave.
loaf of bread
peanut butter and jelly
bag of muffins or bagels
crackers and string cheese (can keep those cool in collapsible ice chest)
fruit
What I'm mainly interested in is dinner ideas. No, we don't need to be gourmet but I'm at a loss for anything more substantial than sandwiches. My girls like Ramen but can you cook Ramen with just hot water from coffee machine? I have a 2 yr old, a 10 yr old and a 14 yr old.
I know there are some really inventive minds here. Parenthood breeds invention, right?

Thanks so much for the ideas!!!!
