Eating Veg at Disneyland

[Guest guest]

Hi, We are heading to Disneyland next week. We won't have a kitchen

in our room so I am looking for suggestions. Last time we were there

we ended up eating junk food and not enjoying it. I want to be better

prepared this time. I don't have a good sized cooler. We are lacto-

ovo. Any suggestions appreciated (including simple recipes, snacks,

restaurant suggestions in & out of the park, etc)

Wellllllll, it looks like lots of fresh produce from whatever grocery stores you

pass plus some good rolls or bread - to make great salad sannies - plus fruit

and, since you're lacto-ovo, cheeses of various kinds (in the interests of

health

and slimming, however, I suggest tubs of low-fat cottage cheese) - plus fresh

fruit. Sounds easy to me LOL

 

As for restaurants, you'd be hard pressed to find one that didn't serve cheese

or egg salad sannies even if vegan ones (which you're not particularly

seeking) aren't readily available. And of course many places serve Breakfast

All Day and most others can produce an omelette.

 

Without a kitchen I agree it's hard to imagine getting creative. Me, I wouldn't

try

but would just picnic on the foregoing items (minus the egg and dairy for me).

Avocado makes a great bread spread and a squeeze of lemon is about all

you need on really fresh salad-y things.

 

Query: how about the kids? You didn't mention ages of your kids . . . If young

enough to be difficult when away from food for more than an hour or two, carry

your own home-made cookies (they won't need a cooler) and trailmix.

 

Have a great time!

Gee, I can't remember the last time I went to Disneyland. I hope

that you and your family have a wonderful time. I will preface this

suggestion with the fact that I am a total peanutbutter-aholic, but a

jar of reduced fat peanutbutter is always a good thing to carry on a

trip. Bring along cinnamon raisin bread and whole wheat

crackers...yummy. When my hubby and I travel, we almost ALWAYS like

to have something that we can throw together in the room, so we

sometimes will take those healthier versions of soup in a cup and we

always take a small kettle to boil water in. You can get those at

Walmart for like $8.oo and they are a real lifesaver when you are

starving and can't find anything but junk around town. Like Pat said,

it's always a good idea to have trail mix: make it yourself with all

of your favorite thing from the bulk section. We always end up

stopping at a market rather than eating out all of the time when we

travel. That way, we know exactly what we are eating and we know that

it's fresh. Hopefully, you will have a grocery store or market close

to where you are staying. They all (well almost all) have deli

sections where you can get perishables and at a market you can always

pick up a bag of lettuce mix to make a bunch of salads with. Also,

remember to take a bunch of paper plates, plastic forks, knives, and

spoons, and one REAL knive for cutting veggies and other stuff. Since

we are coffee and tea drinkers, we also always take a few real mugs

with us, a couple of dish towel and a bunch of baggies for leftover

stuff. Then, you can always use your sink as a make-shift fridge for

a short while. Boy, does this all bring back memories. :0)
