Strange DDP Question... Dry Meal For Roadtrip Back

[SelfEmployedDebtFree]

Were doing the DDP in Sept. We want to save one counter service credit each for the road-trip back, so we dont have to stop for a meal, and can just drive straight home. We always have PLENTY of extra snack credits, and usually have 3 CS credits left over on the last day that just "expire" (though I believe we used them as snacks last year). BUT We are hoping to find SOMETHING we can get that we can throw in the trunk of the car to eat as a meal on the trip back.
Last year we left at breakfast time, and the breakfast menus were all up and operating at the All Stars (were staying at POP this sept) and there wasnt ANYTHING that wouldnt spoil without refridgeration. We were hoping for some type of counter service meal that was "no refridgeration needed" and "on the go" ready. (No cooler in the car) I usually cash in the snack credits on the last day, and we eat chips and JUNK on the trip back. We were hoping for a healthier way to do this.
Last year we cashed in all our snacks and CS meals and brought home a GARBAGE BAG full of snacks!!! But they were all SNACKS! All chips and unhealthy stuff.
So does anyone out there know of a way to use the CS credits for a meal thats sort of "picnickable"? Like a meal that wont spoil that will be good and filling for later that day? If it wont go bad we can get it at a park earlier in the trip and just keep it in the room till we leave. I didnt see anything at the resort last year that would work for this. Has anyone else did this?
I'm aware of the snacks of muffins, cookies, and fruit at AK. All those dont need refridgeration. But they arent a "meal". They are just "snacky".

PBJ sandwiches?

It might be better to bring a soft sided cooler that you can fill with ice. Then you could keep other sandwiches or things cool and you'd have more options.

might want to consider the cooler idea...

cold pizza , salad?

We usually leave around lunch time so we stop off at DTD and grab something from Earl of Sandwich. It is going to be hard to find something healthy that doesn't need to be kept cool.

PBJ... theres an idea. Cold Pizza... that might work too. Weve done salad before. The kids make a mess with the dressing.
I didnt really consider it, but we do have a small folding cooler we could take. That might work. I was hoping to find a sort of picnic lunch, but I might have to improvise.

If you can find:
subs: tuna, chicken salad, turkey.....

I would consider a cooler too. Even subs will need to be refrigerated. The only things that are somewhat healthy, that I can think of, that don't need to be in a cooler are granola bars, bagels, muffins and fruit. Probably not the answer you were looking for.

Earl of Sandwich has a lot of choices for sandwiches you can pack. I took one home on the plane last year.
