Snacks at Disney....

[jrb022704]

I will be bringing a toddler and an infant to Disney in August. We will need to bring snacks for a week. Should I pack a box of snacks and fed ex to the hotel, pack an extra suitcase of snacks, or just buy snacks there (which I'm sure will cost an arm and a leg!)?

I would ship them (we use UPS) but I also ship diapers, wipes, breakfast cereal/pop tarts, etc... basically things I don't plan on bringing home other then the diapers & wipes.

When you get there, there may not be a snack your kids like (which is doubtful).

If you don't ship them & they are light snacks that won't get smooshed in the luggage then I'd put them in there (if you have room).

I am planning on having a bag that has snacks in it... snacks and breakfast stuff. If it is something that can be smashed I think I will put it in a plastic storage box. That way we have things I know the kids like and we don't have to go looking for something to eat, and spending time going back and forth, because with having 4 kids you know they will never want a snack at the same time!

We always pack our own snacks or make a grocery stop down there. Our favorite snacks that held up in the heat:

raisins
nuts
granola bars w/o chocolate
ritz bits (in those great little plastic containers that protect them)
breakfast bars

Good luck!

We're leaving on wed. My 2 year old doesn't need a whole suitcase for her clothes, so I am filling it up with cereal, snacks etc.

On the trip home we'll have plenty of room for souveniers in her suitcase.

We're using the Magical Express so I figure we won't have to worry about carrying the suitcase that much.

I always pack the snacks in a suitcase. I know a number of people on this site have recommended gardengrocer.com which will deliver to you hotel.

I have a 1 liter sterilite container that I use to pack our snacks in for our trips but if you pack and extra suitcase you can use it to pack everything that will not fit when you pack to go home.
