What food do you take with you?

We got caught out once when staying at a villa. Our flight should have arrived in Orlando mid-afternoon and we were knew that there was a supermarket next to the box where we were collecting our the keys to the villa. Because of the supermarket location we didn’t pack any teabags, breakfast bits etc but then our flight was delayed by hours and hours so by the time we collected our keys the supermarket had closed so we didn’t have any milk or teabags until the next morning when we drove back out to the shops. As you can imagine after the long flight delay, the flight itself and then awful queues through immigration we were feeling pretty miserable the next morning without our caffeine or breakfast fix (these were the days before internet delivery services). I do now pack a few cereal bars in case of emergencies. We stay onsite now and the only thing I pack are the Robinson’s mini squeezy drinks that I add to our iced water around the pool.

Absolutely no food makes it off the plane. We only pack snacks for travelling and one of the first ports of call is a supermarket. The only thing I take with us is a few dishwasher tabs and tabs for washing machine - purely because buying boxes of these makes no sense for the hand full of cycles that get ran while we're away. My daughter also has sensitive skin so we like to stick with the same washing product, its challenge enough dealing with the effect of the heat!

I take cereal, candy, chips (crisps) and nuts to munch around the parks - doing an onsite solo trip so no walmart for me this time.

Always declare if they ask and have only been scanned once - and told once candy does not count.

Would you recommend all food in one case if it needs checking or spreading out over all cases for party incase a bag goes missing?

I always bring my own chocolate too! The american brands just don't do it for me

I got a funny look once when I said that I had crisps

Can milk be bought onsite? Just wondering if I take tea bags and coffee for the first early morning wake up where can I get milk?

[Mazascouser]

Yes, the small ones that the kiddies get with their meals that does me for a few teas. Sometimes I use the creamer that’s available in the food courts. Saw the big milks in the shop at Animal Kingdom and Grand Floridian they cater for those staying in villas.

I’m gluten free and last time I went just took a few GF bits with me as I’d done an order on Garden Grocer.
Ended up binning a lot of the GF stuff bought in the US as I didn’t like the taste or flavour.
This time around I’m taking my own supplies, I hope that muffins/ cake/hot cross buns/bread is okay to take into the country, I can’t see that they wouldn’t but maybe they might query the dried fruit in the buns/ muffins?

Dried fruit seems ok.
