Packing for Picky Eaters: How One Mom Made Disney World Snack Time a Breeze

A mom of two kids who are picky eaters shares her experience with Disney World food and how she packs her own snacks to keep them happy and full.

The writer, a mom herself, understands the challenges of feeding kids at Disney World. Her daughter is a 'selective eater' who refuses to touch many foods on the Disney menu. After one too many meltdowns over food, the mom started packing her own snacks instead of relying on Disney's menus.

The writer explains that Disney parks allow outside food and drinks as long as they don't require heating or refrigeration once inside. This means a bag full of familiar, kid-approved snacks is '100% fair game' and can be a lifesaver.

The mom shares the 7 snacks her picky eater actually eats: water bottles, Annie's Bunny Grahams, oatmeal bars, Elmo veggie straws, Pirate's Booty, applesauce pouches, and bananas. These snacks are all familiar and not messy, making them perfect for a picky eater.

To keep her bag stocked without packing a suitcase full of snacks, the mom uses Amazon Fresh delivery service to have everything delivered straight to their resort. This way, she can order everything the day they arrive and have it waiting at Bell Services by the time they get back from their first park day.
