Bottled water. ALWAYS water. I am allergic to chlorine and fluoride and I think the water there tastes bad anyway. But for $7/24-pk (shipped to room) from Costco, it’s totally practical!
We always bring a camelbak brand water bottle. We fill it with the left over ice in our drinks from the dining plan and add water from the fountains. This way, snack credits do not go towards drinks.
We use a camel pack, and it helps to keep sliced apples and carrot packs cool for our mid morning snack. We also can pack sandwhichs like turkey and ham and keep them cool that way. (My hubby is allergic to peanut, so no pb&js for us). I must mention. We put a good amount of ice in our camel packs, I can not stand to drink water unless it’s cold. It can be cold out and I still will have ice water no matter what.
We also bring those single serving kool aid or crystal lite packs to add to bottled water, but will now probably start bring the mio water enhancers.
We like to bring chips, something salty, for some reason the only sweet treats I want when at disney are the ones that they sell. You can have kit kats and the sort any time. But the mickey ice cream bars, funnel cakes, and the sorts just taste so good.
Sometimes Clif bars, or dried fruit and some crackers.
For Disneyland, we eat a good big breakfast so we are full and usually we don’t get hungry enough to need to buy lunch. One morning is always breakfast in the park with Minnie because it’s the cheapest (and best in my opinion) character dining experience that all 3 kids really enjoy. Then I always take granola bars, apples, goldfish crackers, and refillable water bottles. Every first aid station in Disneyland & DisneyWorld has free filtered water to refill your bottles with, and that saves a lot of money. We snack through lunch and then hit a late dinner – usually something we eat at the hotel or we go to a restaurant nearby.
We bring one bottle of water that we refill from fountains. We don’t care for the water so we bring some type of mix in powder.
We also bring granola bars, trail mix, and maybe an apple or something we’ve grabbed from a continental breakfast. This will be our first trip w a child, so we’ll bring more snacks-although we buy at carts too. We’ll probably also bring a sandwich, or at least some peanut butter containers we can use to make him a sandwich. We’ll buy our lunch in the parks.
MIO water enhancer!!!
Water bottles, propel packets, crystal light packets, breakfast bars, trail mix, PB&J sandwiches. Helps hold us over till we decide to break for meals.
I guess it depends on when we go. We’ve brought single packs of nuts, trail mix, fruit rollups, slim jims, pretzels, anything really except chocolate..lol. We also freeze water bottles and bring mixins for them too. If we think it might get chilly in the winter we’ve brought hot cocoa packets and tea bags too.
Last year we took a couple small ‘Lunchables” and water. Perfect for us as our kids don’t eat much breakfast and it held them over til lunch!
We order water from Costco (we aren’t members but it is allowed) and chill it to bring with us to the parks. So much cheaper then buying it in the parks. Our kids are young so we usually bring some of their favorite snacks with us. We find the DDP gives the adults more than enough food to keep us satisfied while with the Mouse.
We usually go to WDW & take nuts, protein bars & water.
We have had the dining plan both times that we have been and i can’t imagine going without it. We just bring in bottles of water.
water bottles and snacks, mostly candy:)
We were at Disney last month and packed baggies with Goldfish, trail mix, animal crackers, mini Nilla wafers,graham crackers, PB on crackers, and water bottles. We had the meal plan and used it on two of the bigger character meals, but with the snacks and planned use of counter meals and snacks we had a few left for our departure morning. Just about prefect.
We usually take juice boxes and fish crackers. Honestly, we love the food at the parks and expect to enjoy as much of it as possible. We take the juice and crackers to head off the little meltdowns the twins sometimes have when waiting for the parades or waiting to get on a ride.
We have 2 small chikdren, so we pack snacky stuff, usualy water bottles, zip bags of trail mix ( nuts, raisins, dried fruit,) buddy fruit pouches, zip bags of frosted mini wheat cereal), sometime bananas – stuff we can ave as a mid morning snack to hold us over for a later lunch.
We live closer to disneyland but our staple take with items are: apple sauce pouches (the drinkable ones), peanut butter crackers or goldfish crackers, almonds, raisins, and a couple pb&j sandwiches. We occasionally take some water bottles but find havin the CamelPak ao much more convenient.
We take small snacky items and bottles of water if we have the dining plan. If we do not have the dinging plan the we usually take a little more and plan our meal times differently.
