What are your Breakfast In-Hotel-Room Ideas

[AmberMarieRich]

Hello Budget Friends!

We have a trip coming up in May and I would love to know what you bring for breakfast to save money and eat in your room before departing out for the day.

We will be driving so we will be able to bring and pick things up no problem.

All that will be in our room is a fridge. Thanks!

We bring plastic bowls/spoons and have cereal. We bring a hot shot (instant hot water) and eat instant oatmeal. We always buy some breakfast junk food like doughnuts and poptarts. Individually wrapped muffins and cinnamon rolls are the first to be consumed because these are items that the kids only get while we are on vacation! We actually prefer having breakfast in our room. While I am still doing hair/makeup, the kids are eating and when we leave, we can head straight to the park. We are not big breakfast eaters at home, so we wouldn't want to stop and eat a full breakfast.

I know you said all that would be in the room is a fridge, but if you're staying onsite at CBR, I think you'll also have a coffee maker, I buy instant oatmeal and use hot water from the coffee maker to make it. The kids eat cereal, husband eats poptarts.

We bring cold cereal (and plastic bowls & spoons), bagels (toast them in the food court if you have to toast them), a jar of p.b. & jelly, granola bars, fruit and instant oatmeal. For milk, we just get it in the food court, but if you are driving, I'm sure there is a cheaper place to pick it up.

We bring cereal for the kids, and go down to the foodcourt the night before and get milk and oj( to avoid b-fast crowds). I personally just bring nutrigrain bars or something like that. We are on the dining plan every time we go, so we eat so much- we keep breakfast light.

 

[RooRach0906]

Nurtgrain Bars or ones like it. Also if I have the dinning plan I will get muffin, carrot cake, or cobbler for dessert at the counter service and eat it for breakfast.

 

[EPCOT is a verb]

We have cereal and milk most days. I also along take a treat for our family--a Pennsylvania Dutch Shoofly Pie. Mmmm!

Now that we do the dinning plan, we just stretch out CS credits to cover breakfast too. We share 2 CS for lunch, and have 1 left for breakfast plus use a snack credit or two. We have plenty. Before we did DDP, we did a mix of simple food including cereal, poptarts etc. One year however, I was doing low carb and I brought ham and cheese cubes, nuts and peanut butter. It was great. WE stayed full and better charged all am. We have also used the coffee maker for instant breakfast food.

Hey, that would work with the Mickey Rice Krispie treat on a stick, too right? It is made of "cereal" after all!

There is usually a coffee pot so we bring Folgers coffee filter packs. It is so easy that way since the coffee is already measured and in a filter. And non dairy creamer if there is no refrigerator, as it doesn't need to be refrigerated. If there is refrigerator, we bring cereal, milk, and yogurt. Also croissants are great, cereal bars, granola bars, etc. Fruit is always good too. Don't forget disposable cups, plates, utensils and napkins.

 

[pixiewings71]

muffins, donuts, fruit, juice, milk, cereal....granola bars, things like that.

 

[dd50]

I bring cereal, granola bars, honey buns, muffin bites, single servings of sunny D, water and pop tarts. I don't get the fridge so I just put ice in a small cooler for the milk and Sunny D.

 

[pamrob]

cereal, cereal bars, oatmeal, oatmeal squares, hard boiled eggs, gogurts and yogurts, juice boxes, nuts.

We do breakfast in the room not for savings, but because we are not breakfast people. We don't get hungry until around 11:00. We fill our refillable mugs with hot cocoa that we drink while getting ready, then snack on trail mix just to give us a little something before heading to the parks. We like the Chip and Dale fruit and nut trail mix!

 

[Shelly F - Ohio]

Since you are driving maybe you could bring a toaster with you. That way you can make toast, waffles, bagels, toaster pasteries, toaster scrambles. Pick up some eggs that are already boiled, some fruit, donuts.

 

[pigletto]

We keep it light. We bring plastic bowls and spoons. Then I get a Garden Grocer order with fruit, cereal, milk, yoghurt and maybe some bars like Oatmeal to Go or Granola. That's it. We aren't huge morning eaters. We just need something to get us going and out the door for rope drop.

I did order yoghurt smoothies to keep in the fridge last time and husband and son absolutely LOVE them so now I have to buy them all the time at home too.

This is our family to a "T"!! Even down to the cinnamon rolls and muffins going first!

OP, I like to have yogurt in the fridge for me. We don't eat a heavy breakfast but it tides me over until lunch or until I get to the dole whips!!!

 

[shortbun]

I just take Luna Bars or prepackaged muffins. I don't try to do any cooking or have any messes to clean up. We do make coffee or heat water in a coffee pot for tea or cocoa mix.

 

[badblackpug]

We stay DVC so we have a bit more room, but...cold cereal and milk for the little kids, because that is their preference.

For the bigger ones, they tend to go for the "treats" (things they don't get at home) Donuts, pop tarts, bagels with cream cheese & jam.

PB&J on a bagel is a favorite, too.

I totally agree with your logic. I would enjoy a gigantic Mickey rice krispie treat for breakfast.

In that same vein, a Mickey ice cream bar has milk in it . . . in case I'm thirsty . . .

But to respond to the OP - I made breakfast cookies for our last trip and while they were portable and kept us from starving until lunch time, they weren't GREAT so I won't do that again. In the past we have brought a variety of cereal bars, oatmeal squares, etc. and we eat while walking/waiting for the bus. I bring a coffee maker & disposable cups & coffee.
