Personally, I'm in the hate category. They're smoked turkey, taste more like ham than turkey and I think they're dry, tough and unappetizing.

Is the first the mugs

? Or is there another?

I haven't had a leg, but my DH loves dry meat. Maybe I'll have to buy him one, lol.

How about 3 - last time we were there I bought one, and DS, DD and I all split it. We're not big eaters, and it was a perfect lunch for the 3 of us!

Ok, ok how about THIS. Two on a Turley leg sharing a recycled mug of soda swiped from the Ice Station?

I go on short trips so time is what I don't have enough of. I always take breakfast from home & eat it in my food court. I have a refillable cup I bought years ago & get free refills. From home I take: fruit cups, pudding cups, crackers that have chicken salad to put on them ($1 at dollar store) , for kids I take Smuckers Uncrustables & juice drinks. I pick all day & buy 1 meal per day. I refill my water bottle at the fountains & of course I bring that from home.

I hate to say I'm thrifty on vacation since growing up I was the only kid and we never skimped at all during our annual Disney vacation. However, now that we have three little guys we have to save in order to maintain our yearly obsession.

We're officially the PB sandwich family at WDW (and Hershey and well most anywhere we go).

I have three little guys and they don't eat when "I" want them to. So I always pack the peanut butter & wonder and every morning make three or four sandwiches and cut them up. All day long I pass out a 1/4 PB sandwich to keep them full.

When DH & I stop to get food I usually just get them an order of fries to share and they are happy. I've learned they never finish any other part of the meal at the parks anyway. So the PB serves two purposes 1) inexpensive & 2) I feel the kids are getting needed protein.

Of course, we do stop once a day for a big sit down meal at the park or at a hotel- but most of the time they don't even eat the food there anyway.

That's a good idea, if I didn't already over pack for both our trip and our park days I might take your idea and use it. My DS is very picky and peanut butter is a staple at home.

Yeah, but it just not the same as <drool mode on> TONGA TOAST! <drool mode off - wiping keyboard>

I'll remember the beer one for sure though.

No- they're twins & a baby brother 14 months younger. That's hard enough!
