Whole Milk?

[bks9581]

Does anyone know if whole milk is available to buy on property? I think the parks only have low fat milk. Anyone seen any in the resort shops or anywhere else?

TIA!

We just got back and were able to buy whole milk both at the resort and in the parks. Not every location had whole milk, but some did. We bought it at both AKL and POFQ as well as in the parks. Not sure exactly where in the parks. The whole milk was in larger bottles rather than in cartons. Hope that helps!

Thank you! We will be at AKL so I'm glad to hear they have it at least.

The grocery store on the Boardwalk had whole milk. Half gallon size, it was like $3 though - but then again, it is Disney.

Definitely have it at AKL

Awesome - thanks so much all! I know I will be paying Disney prices, but it's better than bringing a bunch of the little, unrefrigerated cartons in our luggage.

Also - keep in mind that unless it's an allergy or other...lowfat milk for a week or two vacation won't have a significant impact to someone's diet. I wouldn't bring cartons unless medically a person can't have anything else.

I agree. With my oldest (she will be 16 in May), I was so worried about her having whole milk. She was 15 months when we went. I don't think there were liquid restrictions then (in was August 2002) so I brought 2 half gallons on the plane surrounded by ice packs. Then when it ran out (she drank a lot of milk then) she had whatever was available.

With my 3rd she went from breastmilk to skim...I may have done 2 or 1 % for a short time but it got old buying skim for my oldest, DH and I, soy for my son and a % milk for my youngest.

pretty much this. I asked our doctor about it when DD was 15 months old and he said for a week or two or even a month its no big deal. Just give her a some ice cream every day

We haven't had any issues finding whole milk. Once in a while a specific restaurant may have only had lowfat, so we went with it, but my ODS prefers whole milk and could use the calories so that's what he had most of the trip.

Thanks, my plan was to just have him drink lowfat if that's all we could find, but I prefer to give him whole milk since he is a slow gainer, picky eater and super active. I only wish I had that problem

That was my oldest too. I used to add cream once a day to her whole milk. She didn't reach 20 lbs until she was 2. Very active, always on the go, freaked out in Disney when she had to sit in the stroller as she wanted to walk. Realized we were going to another ride and was eventually fine in the stroller. But we did let her walk too, infant she pushed her stroller around most of the countries.

She ate a lot of leftovers that trip (my son did that on his first trip too).

You probably already know this, but you could also order from a grocery delivery service and have whole milk delivered. That is usually what we do along with various other snacks, etc.

If you e-mail the special diets e-mail address, they may be able to send you a PDF that has all of the locations where you can buy whole milk. We needed soy milk for my daughter when we visited in 2013, and they sent me a pre-prepared PDF that had all of the dairy alternatives sold across the property, separated by park and then location. It really helped us out a lot.

Wow..I knew Disney was great for people with food allergies, but I had no idea they did this. I think we'll be ok to just get it when we find some and not worry too much if he has lowfat here and there. But good to know this exists!

I was shocked too...I was just asking if they sold soy milk at all on property! I e-mailed the normal guest relations e-mail, and they forwarded it on to special diets. When special diets e-mailed me, they had that PDF already attached. I was really surprised to get that level of detail! It was so helpful

I'm also kind of surprised because when I was there in 2014 for Food and Wine I inquired at one of the booths if a particular dish had clams in it (I have an allergy to JUST clams - I know weird) and they did not have a list of ingredients in each dish at the booth. Someone left the booth to go call a chef. I have always heard how seriously they take food allergies so I was kind of surprised there was no ingredient list in each booth. Maybe they just have a list of the general allergens - shellfish, gluten, dairy, etc...

That's surprising, but may have to do with the temporary nature of the booths. I'm glad someone was able to leave and get the answer for you!

Holy cow, my 15 month old is over 29 lbs!!

He drinks whole milk, but at Disney, I plan to just buy whatever I can find at the time. I figure it's probably ok if he gets fewer calories for a week!!

My DD's small too...always has been. She's 4.5, and barely 35 lbs.
