Packing food in suitcase

[shellyfive]

Last trip we took to disney we traveled with five picky kids under 10--needless to say I had packed alot of snacks, dried cereal, poptarts, koolaid ready-mix etc. I even took throw away plastic bowls and spoons. Found it was much easier to wake and dress and feed them in the rooms and then with tummies full we headed out! i sent my hubby each am with the refill mug to get milk for bottles and cereal-- much better than breakfast out each day.We flew back 2 days before Sept.11th happened --I hear now that some of the bomb sniffing dogs alert when there is food in suitcases sometimes-- has anyone heard about this!!!

I had read about shipping boxes to the resorts on this forum. I called the resort we are staying at(VWL) and they gave me the proper shipping address, which can be different than the one on the confirmation. I went to the UPS Store and they even helped me get the stuff out of the car! They wrapped it in lots of bubble wrap and packed it for me. I did this yesterday at 3:00 hoping for a Friday delivery-it will be delivered WEDNESDAY! You have to make sure you put your name and arrival date on all sides of the box.
My son has terrible allergies so I shipped sheets, pillows, mattress pad and blankets in another box. I will shipped them back home when we check out. Easy and well worth the money!

Isn't it sad when you come right down to it that some of us (us included) have to go to extreme's like packing a suit case with food in order to budget for a trip to Disney. How can Disney get away with charging their outrageous prices? Here we are trying to do something nice for our children and have to practically re-mortgage the house in order to afford a vacation that is over in the blink of an eye.

By the way we are packing a suit case with some food too! LMAO

I don't look at it as a way to save $ so much as a way to make sure DD has snacks that are somewhat healthy and that she'll eat. Not having to worry about where to get her something to eat every 2 hours means a more enjoyable vacation for me .
