It never fails.
You’ve remembered your rain gear, Disney park tickets, sunblock, charger, power cord for your phone, and even your printed-out itinerary, but there’s one thing you should be packing in your bag that gets left behind most frequently, and we’re here to help you STOP making this mistake!
Finding just the right snacks to fit into your bag before a day out at the Disney parks could be one of the last things on your mind… until you start to feel that rumbly in your tummy.
Help keep yourself from making a snap decision to spend more money on snacks than you need to by coming prepared. Here are a few of the snacks we think are easiest to bring along with you for a full day at Disney.
One of the most classic snacks that we like to pack in our bags is Goldfish.
These bite-size cheese-flavored crackers are a popular option for kids and adults alike and hardly ever let you down. Not only are they small enough to pop into your mouth for a quick snack, but they travel well in almost any kind of container with minimal cleanup.
Just like goldfish, Pretzels are a solid choice!
Whether you spring for the prepackaged snack-size bags or split a larger family-size bag these snacks are quick, simple, and a delicious option to consider when you’re in need of a short pick-up with little time to spare.
Granola Bars are a great option and usually come in several different flavors making them easy to taper to almost any palette.
These can come in varying options ranging from super savory to sweet with dried berries and compotes and can really help put some pep in your step between larger meals or to supplement a lighter mealtime.
Cookies are one of the options you just can’t go wrong with.
With so many varieties from standard chocolate chip or sugar to cookie sandwiches like Oreos, finding the right cookie to your taste seems super simple. The hard part might be narrowing your choices down!
Crackers are another popular option!
Saltine crackers especially travel well with minimal clean-up and their salt can help replenish electrolytes lost while you’re sweating away in the hot sun. They’re also a really great option for even some of the smallest kids so this is a great option for families with kids of age ranges.
Chances are if you haven’t already packed them, gummy snacks will be one of the first snacks your kids ask for inside the parks.
Rather than paying for gummy snacks that you’re not totally sure they’re going to like, pack the ones with you that they’re most used to help stretch your budget and their appetite to the next mealtime.
Veggie Straws have recently become an option we’ve seen both young and older people snacking on in lines around the park.
These snacks practically dissolve in your mouth when you’re eating them and make a great alternative to a sugar-overloaded snack.
Bottled or packaged juices could become a lifesaver when you’re waiting in line.
The first that comes to mind when we talk about juices are pouches that don’t need to be refrigerated, come with their own straw, and have an easy cleanup. When you’re in between water bottle refill stations, this could be a great alternative!
Just like with the veggie straws, whole fruit could become a great healthier option!
Consider packing smaller options like bananas or small oranges that have an easy peelable covering keeping them safe and clean in your backpack. Apples can be a solid choice too, but you’ll want to finish those before packing them back up unless you’ve packed a separate container or bag for them. Grapes could be quick and easy too, but for little ones, you’ll do safest by making sure they’re cut in half first!
Chips –another perfect option that comes in so many varieties of textures and flavors.
You can typically pick these snack packs up in the park but at a premium price! Do yourself a favor and pack them before your park day so you’ll be prepared when those cravings hit!
