non-perishable items to send ahead

[kjh104]

We're making our first trip to WDW at the end of May. I wanted to send ahead a box of things for our rooms for breakfast, snacks and possible lunches but of course I can't really thing of any great ideas. Besides juice boxes and crackers what else would ship well? BTW we will be in the company of three kiddos ages 6,7, & 10! TIA!!!

Here are a couple of threads you might read over. In my responses on these threads, every non-perishable thing I listed, I shipped ahead. We also stopped at the grocery store for a few perishables.

You can't ship liquids. So please don't try and ship juice boxes. if they explode.....

I did ship juice boxes the last time and had no problem. My box of goodies was shipped "FedEx Ground", so the shipping conditions should be no different than the way those get shipped from the packaging plant to the grocery store or warehouse. Of course there is always the possibilty that if handled roughly, there could be a leak, but the juice box packaging is pretty robust.

I also packed juice boxes in my package that I shipped UPS ground and had no problems......................P

I did slip the packages of juice boxes into a plastic bag as a precaution, but didn't have any problem.

It's not a snack, but... We tossed some of those laundry soap tablets and a roll of quarters in the box the last time we shipped stuff. They really came in handy, and I was happy not to have to buy the soap in the laundry room.

I shipped pins and lanyards, film, sunscreen, Brita bottles and extra filters, straps to carry the water bottles, waterproof wallets for pool days. Coffee, sugar, sweetener.

I know there was more, because the boxes were pretty big. I shipped one for each DVC villa we had rented, so there were four boxes. I sent them 2nd day on Wednesday, then we went down on Saturday; that way, I could see that they had been delivered before we left here.

Oh, I shipped the laundry soap tablets, too.
