Do some of you folks travel down by lorry? :ROFLOL:
Yes, it's quite common when you don't live on an island.
My 7yo son is type 1 diabetic and must eat carb-controlled portions every few hours. We bring Handi-Snaks (peanut butter dip, cheese dip, and apple dip), 100 calorie packs of all kinds (goldfish, Lorna Doones, and chhez-its are his favorites), individual pringles packs, peanut butter crackers, cheese crackers, granola bars. We also bring beef jerky (like Slim Jims) which are carb-free, and rolls of Life Savers for when we need a sugary pick-me-up. With a diabetic, there's not always time to get a Coke or something where there could be a line.
What I meant was that with all the food etc some of you take, goodness knows how much other stuff you need. A regular sized vehicle wouldn't be much good:shrug:
You don't bring cases upon cases of things and everything is basically individually packed (open up box, empty packs and throw away the carton). I put all the snacks in a tote bag like this & I use it as a carry on when we fly, but most of the time we drive and it takes up very little room so no, we don't need an over sized vehicle to transport it all.. Many people stop and pick these things up at the grocery before they check in.
I'm a type 2 but I think your last sentence hit the nail on the head. The extra exercise/stress of a WDW trip can cause big fluctuations in blood sugars and believe me, people will not let you go to the front of the line. Peanut butter crackers are best for me because they can double as a snack (3 cracker sandwiches) or a quick meal (all 6 sandwiches). Adequate fluids are a must too so I always have a water bottle or two with me.
