Snacks when flying

[mrsp1030]

We usually order via Garden Grocer when flying but what does everyone else do for snacks when flying? Last time we drove so that was an added bonus but this year we decided to avoid the traffic during Thanksgiving week on the road and the 14 hour trip each way!

We bring TONS of snacks when flying! They're a lifesaver. And we use the Munchkin snack cups so DD doesn't make too big of a mess. We bring goldfish, goldfish pretzels, raisins, granola bars (the nutri-grain style ones made for kids, we like the Plum brand), blueberries, grapes, a peanut butter sandwich, and we buy some milk once we get through security and put it into a straw cup for her. Basically, just load up on anything your kids will eat. Anything she doesn't eat we have for the rest of the week (and I pack extras of all of our snacks so we have some for the flight home as well).

I always pack fruit snacks for the plane. Helps my kids if their ears hurt since they don't chew gum.

I always like to pack clif bars.. not the most appetizing snack but if something happens where a meal has to be skipped those bars are VERY filling. They are basically a meal replacement.. Im a hangry person so I bring these on trips with me if a meal is delayed for some reason

When we flew to Hawaii, I brought a small soft sided cooler/ lunch bag and we had sweet petite carrots, squeeze applesauce, Hormel protein packs, cheese sticks, and goldfish.

I guess my post was a little confusing. We fly all over the world with out kids so I am use to snacks for traveling on the plane and have done this for years. I was talking more about snacks for Disney and taking into the parks when flying. Does anyone use something other than Garden Grocer or have items shipped to hotel in advance? Just curious if any new methods out there.

We do amazon prime & prime pantry shipped to the resort before we get there for things like puffs (when was a baby), hand soap (I prefer the pump kind for the kiddie), etc. We still commonly order garden grocer though as the flats of water are indispensable - we go through ~6 flats in a week with just the 6 of us.

I was wondering if this was what you meant rather than what snacks to eat on the plane.

I usually pack snacks right in the checked bag. I put them in a tupperware container so they don't get squished. I usually bring pringles (gross but my guys like them), goldfish, pop tarts, fruit snacks, apples, grapes, peanut butter crackers, and granola bars.

I plan on doing a amazon prime pantry box this year. I am looking into grocery delivery as we speak. I want fresh fruit, veggies, and some yogurt in addition to water. In the past I have had DDP as that was the discount offer and so then I just packed a few small snacks (mostly protein bars) in my checked luggage. Honestly the parks and resorts have a great assortment, but the cost is fairly high vs buying elsewhere so we will take the time to order things this time as we aren't doing as many sit down meals.

I used Amazon Prime Pantry on my last trip and it wad great! I ordered water bottles, gatorade, and plenty of breakfast bars and snacks. I think I placed the order 4-5 days before my arrival. I just told the front desk that I had a package from amazon and it was delivered to my room.
