need some in room breakfast ideas (no fridge)

[disney_girl125]

We are on the dining plan, so I like to eat in the room before we leave for the parks. That way we can use the dp for lunch and dinner. This year we're staying at pop and won't have a fridge. I normally bring cereal and bowls and buy milk at the resort.

You can still do that. Just go buy your milk at the Food Court every morning.

Or buy an ice chest and keep milk in it.

You can also do lots of the protein bars or breakfast bars. There are oatmeal cookie like things that are good - quite a bit of sugar in them, but tasty.

Buy fruit - or take dried fruit.

And breakfast at the Food court isn't bad - not terribly expensive.

Breakfast bars? That is usually my quick breakfast at home....or peanut butter sandwiches, those fill ya up too. Pop Tarts? Is there a coffee maker in the room? You can bring oatmeal and use the hot water from the coffee maker to mix it.

Bread and peanut butter; make sandwiches.

Instant oatmeal; warm up water in the coffee maker; make sure you run water through it a few times to get the "coffee taste" out of it.

Protein bars.

Pop tarts; cold or you can take them down to the food court and use the toaster.

Bagels, and those little jelly packets.

Pop Tarts
Cereal bars
Snack cakes such as honey buns, pecan twirls, etc.

 

[ChristaDeVil]

We do granola bars and muffins.

You could still do the same as you usually do or bring some cereal bars. I usually buy fresh fruit to keep in room on the way in from the airport. I think your ok without a fridge just buy your milk daily. I'm not a big breakfast person so fruit and coffee are good for me honestly just coffee is good for me.

In the past we bought a loaf of bread and went to the food court to toast it and if my memory is correct they had butter there... maybe jelly?? I brought along PB and Jelly for my toast and made some banana bread, cookies, and muffins. We have also done cereal bars and Carnation Instant Breakfast and bought milk from the gift shop. We have always had a fridge in our room so we would buy the gallon, but there is milk you can buy at the food court. Have a great trip!

We usually always eat breakfast in the room. We did a fridge swap the last couple of years so we didn't have to pay for a fridge. (budget board) But before we did that we would have bread, bagles, breakfast bars, doughnuts, and some fruit. If we felt like it we would go to the food court and toast our stuff. We ordered everything from gardengrocer.com. That way we didn't have to haul all the stuff ourselves.

We bought things at the food court the night before for breakfast. Fruit and danish type of things.

I definitely recommend taking a cooler - it gives you so many more options. Some of my favorites for a quick breakfast are raisin bread with cream cheese on top (plain or fruit-flavored) and croissants w/cheese and fruit. Both are pretty filling and quick and easy to put together. My kids both love peanut butter toast so if you're willing to run over to the foodcourt to toast your bread you could have that.

You might also consider using some of your snack credits to pick up goodies from places like Main St. Bakery and take them back to the room for breakfast the next day. Or if you don't have room for dessert, you might be able to get it to go and save it for the next day's breakfast.

I am going to buy some small donuts/donut holes and freeze them before I go. Hopefully this will keep them fresher longer! Also, some 100% juice boxes that I can chill in the ice bucket.

We always have breakfast in the room, and we do snack cakes(I ONLY buy Little Debbie on vacation) granola bars, poptarts, ect. We stay mod. so we always have a fridge in the room. I MUST have diet coke before being functional in the morning.

We did this with the cinnamon rolls last year, and really enjoyed them the next morning

Just got back - and I packed a soft side cooler - which easily collapsed/folded up and fit inside of my "breakfast suitcase" - which contained, 3 boxes of cereal, bread, PB&J, fruit snacks, Motts Apple Juice in a box! (Dollar Store item- make sure you ziplock them) Pop tarts and rice Krispie snacks - as well as bowls, cups, spoons etc...

Once empty, the breakfast suitcase is great for bringing home all of your souveniers!

 

[Magic3forme]

I bring donuts, Entenmanns prepackaged muffins and I made a batch of blueberry muffins also.
We take dry cereal too.

Last time we stopped at MK bakery and bought cinnamon rolls. it was cheaper to pay OOP than use a credit.

 

[skipperkim]

Don't forget you can save the dessert from the day before on the DP and have it for breakfast too. Since you'll be staying at Pop on the DP you'll also have 2 snacks to use. You might be able to use this for milk and a pastry too. Not sure whats on the 'approved' snack list anymore.

Our boys love in-room breakfast! They don't want to waste a minute of early morning time at the parks, so even our biggest breakfast-eater votes for in-room breakfast. I made an ADR for Cape May (we usually stay at BC) for just one of six mornings, and the first question was: "Will this make us miss rope drop?" (The answer is no - we're going to DHS that morning for a 9am opening and our ADR is at 7:30am - but they still think we're cutting it very close!) Now, we do have a fridge, but we only use it for milk - and as a previous poster mentioned, you can grab that in the morning at the food court, if necessary.

So we bring/buy the following (and this is just for vacation treats!): donut holes, pop tarts, single serve applesauce cups, bananas, juice boxes, single serve cereals (our boys usually eat this without the milk, even though we have it in the room) muffins/pastry purchased the night before at EPCOT or the resort, and cereal bars. Wow - that does not sound good, but 1) there is mention of fruit in there; and 2) it's a vacation and we have a big early lunch at 11:15 or so. I just grab coffee in my refill mug, and we're set!

We always bring bagels, peanut butter and bananas for a quick in-room breakfast.

Our on-the-go breakfast is a pre-packaged muffin/poptart/donut, banana, and juice box. Usually eaten while we wait for the bus to pick us up at the resort, or while walking from the bus stop to the wait line at the turnstyle. We throw everything away while entering the park and are ready to tackle the day.

We also run a cycle thru the coffee maker for hot water to add to oatmeal. We also take a small soft sided cooler for milk/yogurt but must be filled twice/day with ice. So, we time the milk needs so we don't have the hassle with this everyday. Try yogurt tubes and canned fruit (w/pop top lid).

Also, you can buy shelf-stable milk (sold where the store has powdered milk--we find it at walmart). You don't need to chill it 'til after it's opened but if you use enough at one time you might go through an entire package, chill or throw away the rest. We use this even when we have a fridge because we can better control the quantity, waste, and fridge space. Also this stuff tastes just like regular milk, unlike the powdered. But, you could also take powdered milk. I sometimes take this camping in pre-measured portions in baggies. Then I put it in my shaker/measuring cup with the water and I've got instant milk without any need for refrigeration.
