First World Torture

I would be *miserable* if I were a member of one of those families that packs their own lunch in to Disneyland, eating a dry PBJ on healthy 7-grain bread while other families are enjoying corn dogs and churros all around them. Any "Disney On A Budget" book that suggests such a thing, I instantly know to disregard any opinions expressed in that book. The ideas expressed in such a book are NOT ways to create a cherished memory that you want to relive over and over again, they're ways to check off the "We Took The Family To Disneyland Once" item from their "We're A Perfect Family" Checklist.

I know that many people have to pack food with them wherever they go due to various food allergies and intollerancies, and I feel very sorry for them :(

LastMinuteTravel.com We've been averaging $57-$76, depending on the season. We also got a pretty decent deal at the Stovall Inn. They had the best continental breakfast by far, but no way were those beds queen size! Castle even has brand new mattresses! I dont blame them for not renewing their contract.

Your description of Disneyland food was eloquently put & so true! Im really hoping to find the popcorn coffin. Its supposed to be our Fantasmic treat tomorrow night!!

Oooooh, PERFECT TREAT For with Fantasmic (even better than the Prefered Seating Box-O-Munchies, imho)! Slightly warm to take the chill off the night, compact, not messy at all, and it comes with your ultimate Halloween Disneyland Swag!

(Last year we went with the Halloween Popcorn Bucket which was *cute*, but no Coffin)

And thank you for the reminder - LAST MINUTE TRAVEL! Bookmarking it now, just in case ;)
