Packing food for drive... Disney foods I can buy at the grocery store?

[zoesbargainmama]

I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this. Sorry if it isn't!
We are taking our first trip to Disney in June and driving from Indiana. I wanted to pack some goodies to eat on the way and thought it would be fun to pack Disney foods! I know Sargento makes a mickey mouse shaped cheese (we buy these each week and my kids love them!) and I have also seen Toy Story Cheezits. Are there any other Disney themed foods I should keep an eye out for? I am also thinking I might get the Mickey Mouse cookie cutter at Walgreens and cut mickey pb&j's. (I did pick up disney themed zip lock baggies at dollar tree!)
Thanks in advance for any tips!!

Disney shaped fruit snacks. They have toy story juice boxes at our grocery store and I think some other disney theme ones.

I've gotten Cars and Princess shaped cookies in the cookie aisle near the Teddy Grahams.

Love this idea!

Be aware that the Toy Story Cheez-Its taste EXACTLY like what I imagine cardboard to taste like. My kids _love_ "cheesy crackers" and since they also _love_ Toy Story I thought these would be a perfect snack food to have on hand. They wouldn't finish the box and I honestly couldn't blame them (although I did make myself finish them off slowly . . . I cannot waste food!)

I would agree about the TS cheese crackers. We also tried a Princess "cookie" one time which my kids refused to eat due to taste. I tried them and agreed. Also got Princess 100-calorie chocolate packs, they were mediocre at best. For my kids I would stick to the Mickey cheese, fruit snacks, and then do things with the cookie cutter or putting regular snacks in the Disney bags. Or buy a box of what you'd like to pack and have the kids taste test it first! This is such a cute and fun idea!!!

One time I found adorable Mickey shaped pretzels at my grocery store, both plain and yogurt dipped. They were repackaged and sold by a local snack company... I haven't seen them lately. but when I googled "Mickey Mouse pretzels" I found this: http://www.taquitos.net/snacks.php?snack_code=526

You can get a Mickey House head cookie cutter pretty cheap on Ebay - Cut out PB&J sandwiches with the cookie cutter, and there you go - Mickey Mouse sandwiches! I have two - One pretty big one, and one small one. Personally, I like the small one to make bite size stuff. You can use the cookie cutter to make MM eggs, or pancakes.... anything really! Good luck, and have a great time!

FYI if you want to get a Mickey head cookie cutter I just got one this afternoon at Walgreens in the Easter aisle for $1.99!

I don't know what stores you have there, but our Big Lots carries alot of Disney food items. King Dollar, Target, Dollar General and Walgreens have all had things at one time or another. I do this too. Yesterday I asked my daughter (10) if she would like me to just pack regular snacks that she loves or does she like Disney snacks when we go to Disney. She said "Oh yeah, disney snacks. It just makes it feel more special." Good luck. I think it is one of the most fun parts of planning is looking for those snacks!

I know I have seen the cars cookies near the teddy grahams I had just forgotten about those!

You guys are all SO AWESOME!
