We\u2019ve really only taken family trips to Disney World when\nthe heat is pretty intense \u2013 which in Orlando, FL, is much of the year anyway!\nBeing out in the crazy heat all day every day, you are going to need to stay\nhydrated and to make sure you keep your energy up in order to avoid heat exhaustion\nor anything worse. Of course we love to grab all the Disney snacks when we\u2019re\nable to, but sometimes you get yourself caught waiting in lines, taking a\nbreak, maybe watching a show or something, or even just wanting to save a few\nbucks and you really need something to munch on \u2013 and we\u2019ve got a great\nalternative right here for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put these into little Ziploc snack bags and throw a few in\nyour bag each day going into the parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BONUS: When you make these at home and bring them in your\nluggage, you\u2019ll have extra empty space for that Disney merch when going home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*** You know your family\u2019s allergies \u2013 obviously, if you\nhave any, just omit or find an alternative ingredient for the snack mix!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Made Snack Mix!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The following things\nI would put a small handful (maybe 10 pieces, more or less) of each one into\neach bag. You can adjust the amount as you wish, but I feel it\u2019s easier to make\nthem in individual bags because the heavy items would sink to the bottom of a\nlarge bowl if you try mixing together first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

• Ziploc snack size bags<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
  • Goldfish<\/li>
  • Mini pretzels<\/li>
  • Popcorn<\/li>
  • Granola bites<\/li>
  • Yogurt covered raisins<\/li>
  • Chocolate covered blueberries<\/li>
  • Reece\u2019s pieces <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Those are the ingredients I usually throw into the bags, but\nsometimes I add or switch out 1 or 2 things as well, like teddy grahams,\nraisins, marshmallows or nuts. I try to keep a lot of chocolate out of it as\npossible, but you can put in chocolate chips or m&m\u2019s also. The chocolate\ncovered blueberries are enough for us! The Reese\u2019s pieces are also a nice sweet\nadded and the kids like it better than peanuts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You want to make sure that the whole mix is not going to get\nall melty or sticky! The ingredients listed held up extremely well in our park\nbag, in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of the main goals besides having a good snack on hand,\nis that my children will actually eat them too! And I am always conscious of\ndeciding what is a choking hazard for them, or if they can eat it. I will only\nmake them what I believe is safe for them to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They absolutely love chowing these down while in the parks.\nWe\u2019ve had them while sitting in Magic Kingdom\u2019s Carousel of Progress, the shows\nin Epcot World Showcase and Hollywood Studios, and The Festival of The Lion\nKing in Animal Kingdom. We also have handed them a bag as we just push them in\ntheir strollers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The sweet and salty combination is a perfect filler to give\nyou and the kids that boost of energy along with a cold cup of water. Sometimes\nyou can tire out easily while in the Disney parks, and you need to be aware if\nthe little ones just aren\u2019t eating or drinking enough. This is hands down, our\nperfect solution when those times occur because they definitely eat these\ngoodies. I also don\u2019t feel as bad giving it to them because it is not the ice\ncreams or candies that are completely full of sugar either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I look forward to hearing back – Let me know if this helped\nor worked for you! Or if you have a trail mix or snack mix that you love or\nmake yourself as well! What would you substitute?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
