If you fly...

[la79al]

what kind of food do you pack in your luggage? We are doing the dining plan so will really only need breakfast/snacks (and food for the toddler). I don't think we are going to need enough to justify placing an order, just looking for things that 'travel well'. TIA

We probably wouldn't bring food if we flew.

The only food we end up bringing nowadays is breakfast (Pop-Tarts, cereal bars). We'd either buy those at a local grocery or go without and use snack credits on breakfast.

We always bring food when we fly. We usually bring individual cereal boxes, granola bars, Pringles, Combos, etc. Then we just buy milk at the resort. It's so much quicker when you eat breakfast in your room.

Granola bars, oatmeal packets, and Target has these Market Pantry flat fruit snacks (and they have bars, too, but we like the flat ones as a snack) that aren't loaded down with sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Unless we are staying in a 1-bed or larger via DVC (where they have utensils and plates/bowls in the rooms) I also pack in a couple of melamine bowls we can use for the oatmeal and then rinse out when we're done.

Last time we flew we packed an extra suitcase just for food.

If we were on the DDP and wanted to take breakfast stuff:
Cereal
Granola bars
Muffins
Cinnamon Rolls
Poptarts
Ind Oatmeal packets

As far as what travels well, anything travels well if you pack it well!
We use cardboard reinforcement to protect foods, put food into Rubbermaid containers, or put it in our carry-on so we can protect it ourselves.

100 calorie packs of pretzels,crackers and Swedish fish or some other candy
100 cal packs are just the right size to keep in my backpack
Crystal Light tubes for water(s) in the parks

 

[Maggie'sMom]

We have packed:

granola bars
pistachios
cereal
pretzels
goldfish crackers
Disney themed fruit snacks
candy

We stay offsite and pack pretty much any non-perishable you can think of. We usually go for a week plus at a time, so we have enough 'sides' to make 3 or 4 dinners (i.e., spaghetti, mac-n-cheese, cereal, snacks, etc.). We always have a full suitcase of nothin' but food.

Funny thing too - on our last trip I sat next to a little girl who said her mom packed their food suitcase with a small soft-sided cooler with ice pack and had lunch meat. I thought that was a good idea, and we may try it in March......

Lots of snack pack type things, to avoid buying snacks in the park.
Mac n cheese
Cereal
Peanut butter
Jelly
Boxes of pasta
Pasta sauce (the type in the bags vs. the glass jars)
Oatmeal packs

For us, I tend to put the food items in ziplocks, so if anything did go wrong, it would be more contained. My luggage with food almost always ends up seached by TSA, but no big deal to me.

(we stay DVC, so we do have a kitchen)

We always fly and never bring food. The airlines make me so mad to charge for baggage.
