Your Favorite Ideas for a Packed Breakfast

Otis Spunkmeyer Muffins. We get the 3 pack/ 4oz each Strawberry Shortcake muffins, but they have several different flavors. They are huge, and they taste amazing! We take them to the park with our coffee for breakfast. They also pack really well in a suitcase.

We bring boxes of granola bars. Also a pack of those single-serving boxes of breakfast cereal (the only time each year I eat Frosted Flakes and Froot Loops), and then buy some overpriced milk from the resort store. Dried fruit, like apricots, is also good.

While we haven't done this for WDW, we have brought foodstuffs for DragonCon (a *huge* Science Fiction/Fantasy convention in downtown Atlanta). Granola bars for me...and Pop Tarts for DH. I've never gotten into Pop Tarts, but apparently they're just as good untoasted, as toasted

I like to take granola bars and goldfish crackers (because you're never too old for goldfish), but on our last trip, I swapped out my regular Disney bag for a sling backpack and the water bottles crushed my goldfish. So the success of that plan is definitely dependent on how you travel. I switched to whole almonds for the rest of the trip as they were immune to the water bottles.

For in our room, our ideal is to have hard boiled eggs on hand, but you have to be able to get off property to find a store that carries them (haven't checked yet, but I doubt you can get them at Hess) and I wouldn't want to try to fly with them.

Speaking of Hess, they look like they have a pretty large store. We'll be checking that out this trip. Doe anyone have any Hess favorites that are a great value? Can we get cases of water or just individual bottles? Do they have bulk protein-rich snacks?

Don't forget. You can use places like garden grocery to have things delivered. Disney will keep cold items cold for you until you arrive. Bruised fruit is never fun. DH is a strawberry pop tart kinda guy and I like a banana. Blue diamond makes some great flavored almonds in individual packs that travel well.

No, they are not. Hubby will gobble them down that way, but I must have them toasted hot and crispy. Room temperature, soft, and doughy just won't cut it. Not that I eat them regularly - in fact, it's probably been years.

I have been reading a lot of reviews where people on the regular dining plan (one snack, one cs, one ts) go on and on about having WAY too much food. I will be travelling with a teenage boy and it is next to impossible to fill him up! I am having a difficult time deciding if the DP will be enough food for us, or if I should pack some breakfast items in our suitcase. Normally, we don't eat an entree AND a dessert (let alone eating that TWICE in a day), so I am more than sure this will be plenty of food for my daughter and myself (even without packing breakfast items), but I can't help but worry over my continually famished son. Anyone else in the same boat as us? Is it worth the hassle to pack some breakfast stuff with us, or just run on the assumption that the DP and adrenalin will keep my teenager full and simply pick up a few extra snacks in the park should he be hungry?

I normally pack mini muffins, poptarts, and granola bars. Quick, easy, and portable so you can take them to the bus stop to eat while you wait for the ME!

If I were in your position, I would definitely bring extra snacks for my always hungry teenager-I have a husband like that And I would absolutely plan on packing breakfast foods and feeding him before, or on the way to, the parks.

You get one snack, one quick service and one table service. It seems like a lot food, and for some people it is, but you have to factor in how many hours you'll be in the parks. Imagine that you get to the parks at 9am and you close the latest park down(lets pick 11pm close time MK) By the time you get back to your rooms, you will have put in a 15-16 hour day. Are two meals and one snack going to be enough to fill him up for 15-16 hours? Especially if you don't feed him any breakfast beforehand?

If money is no object, then plan on buying him a few extra snacks throughout the day. This will run you at least $15-$20/per day for 3-4 snacks with no drinks, or 2-3 snacks, with a drink. If you're factoring in breakfast make it $25-$30/per day. I don't know how long your vacation is going to be, but that can add up quick. For me, it's worth the extra hassle to save lots of money and pack some food of our own for my hubby.
