Milk at DLR

[kailuagirl]

Is there any place at disneyland or california adventure to buy organic milk?

If not, I want to make sure I take enough in for DD everyday.

Thanks!!

I know there is regular milk to be had everywhere, but I am not sure about organic. My solution is to buy organic milk at home all the time, and then not worry about the small amount of non-organic at the parks or other vacations. It makes things easier all around. I figure if my kids are getting organic milk 99% of the time, then that is probably good enough.

No Organic - just buy the Horizon individuals bc they're good even if they're warm - you can add ice or stick them in the hotel fridge.

This saved us - last time we went we ate breakfast in the room to cut on cost & we used those for our cereal or to make oatmeal. Plus for DS while in the park.

PLUS they come in flavors so the kids were happy.

in the concierge lounge they have milk and i can't remember if it was organic. but one of the things i did notice about it that was different was the expiration date was for months not a few weeks like normal milk... anyone else notice that?

I have found that is a place where Disney is still lagging. They have excellent fruit stands (not organic fruit, but it's way better than french fry stands), but they don't have a good variety of milk.

Last time we were there, I wanted a latte from the coffee stand in DCA and I was told they didn't have soymilk, which seems odd. Soy milk is quite popular and it seems easy enough to have on hand as an option for those lactose intolerant, or just prefer the taste...

Organic milk spoils later - I have NO IDEA why but our normal refrigerated dairy is the same we buy, Horizon brand or not.

that sounds like a good idea. does horizon milk fill you up easy? because me and my boyfriend (or.. as i'm figuring out, dbf) are trying not to buy a ton of snacks and stuff because we want to save money when we go on our trip next sunday, so bringing in non-parishable items will be a good idea. can anyone think of any other items that we could bring in that are filling?

We buy those little boxes too and bring them to the parks. It's great that they don't need refrigeration and it makes it easy to bring them anywhere. My DS is allergic to food coloring so he can't usually have strawberry milk since the non organic ones have red #40 in them. Last year, we discovered the horizon ones and he was so thrilled to have flavored milk again.

I need lactose free milk and the date on the carton is always a month or more away. However, if you read it, the label says to consume within 7 days once opened. Don't know if organic milk is the same way. It is good for stocking up on, but once opened you need to use it.

It's only 8 oz so it won't "fill you up" but it will accompany a meal nicely. How about cereal bars...carrot sticks/apples...we're big on Luna bars or Cliff bars here.
