Picnic lunch ideas from QS meal plan?

[robfamily]

We are going to Disney next week with free dining on the QS plan. Our last two days we plan to head over to Universal. Since we are on the meal plan, I really don't want to buy meals in Universal. Does anyone have any suggestions for meals that we could get ahead of time and take into universal in a cooler bag?

not that i would really want to eat

maybe have a good breakfast and then dinner when you get back?

I'd second that!

Cold sandwiches from EoS?
Otherwise, as above.

What about using snack credits for things like bagels and muffins...? Those keep pretty well. Anything else would probably get yucky.

Universal doesn't allow you to bring in picnic lunches, so that solves your problem before you even arrive.

This is one of those times when convenience is going to be worth the cost.

We did this for our water park day a few years ago. I got a salad with dressing on the side and my husband got a sandwich with condiments on the side. For our side items/desserts, we grabbed chips and fruit with bottle water and an energy drink for beverages. We brought a little soft cooler to keep everything cold and it worked very well for us. Best wishes!
ETA: You might want to bring a ziploc bag or small plastic container to store your food items. Our only mishap was that Disney's quick service to-go containers aren't really made for transport & storage.
Also, found this on Universal's website:
