Whole Milk for Children

[AmberVDM]

Anyone know which restaurants in Disney offer whole milk and/or just milk for children? I am assuming most if not all do. Also if anyone has any experience with the baby/child care center at Disney do they allow you to buy whole milk there?

All the TS and QS restaurants have milk, but I think it's all 2%. Some TS restaurants MIGHT have whole milk, so I'd definitely ask. QS just has the cartons/small bottles. Your resort "grocery" may have some, so look there.

Thanks that helps. I was thinking about getting some whole milk from the resort, but I was thinking that it might be more of a hassle than it's worth. Since she is one I would prefer whole milk, but whatever milk we can get will do.

Just add a bit of half and half to skim or 2%.

(edit) And whole milk is about 3.5% fat.

You'll have no problem getting 2% milk at any restaurant (whether quick service or table service). As PP noted, the whole milk is harder to find, but 2% a few times won't hurt a child over 1 who isn't allergic to milk. I don't know what time of year you are going, but I would have whole milk in my resort fridge, but just buy milk while we were out and about...of course, I go in June and the idea of carrying milk around is gross.

you can get it at Starbucks

You could place a Garden Grocer grocery delivery order and have it in your resort room fridge. There is a $40 minimum order, but if you add water, juice, whole fruit etc. that is easy to meet.
As stated, most milk is 2%

OH, OH, OH I just remembered what we did when my boys were little and we wanted whole milk while traveling. Get the boxed milk that doesn't have to be refrigerated. You could even put that in your bag, take it to the parks, and pour it over ice!!! I would get it at home and pack it in my suitcase inside a ziploc just in case.

I would just do 2% for the duration of the trip and not worry about it

The differences between whole milk vs 2% over a few days vacationing at disney are not significant enough to go out of the way for.

AH! Thanks I completely forgot about that, but that is the best idea ever! Thank you so much!

make sure you try some at home before you leave as some kids do not like the taste difference. nothing worse than getting toddler ready for bed and have child not like the bottle of milk and no way to get different milk

I bought whole milk all week at Pop and one day at Starring Rolls in Hollywood so it is available

I agree. Personally, I find boxed milk pretty nasty & artificial with a chemical taste. I think Baby OP might prefer "real" 2% milk to boxed whole milk, but OP surely has a better-informed opinion about how discerning she is.

We saw it at Sunshine Seasons for sure (they didn't have anything else when I was getting the kids lunch) and I'm pretty sure I saw it at other QS places.

As pp mentioned, Horizons might be a good option too but definitely try at home first - my kids don't even like the chocolate and I have to agree that it tastes chalky.

 

[AmberVDM]

Ah, good idea about the taste test first. Will have to do that with her. It's kind of weird to think milk doesn't need to be refrigerated although it makes carrying it more convenient when it's warm out.

Lo was 15 months when we took her and we just got whatever the test uses t served. I believe 2%. The food court at the resort may have had whole milk but I can't remember. I figured it was vacation and she was eating like crap anyways. She survived and went back to whole milk when we got home
