Hey, all! On our way down to WDW, we'll be flying out at 6:00am, grabbing breakfast at JFK during a layover, and arriving in Orlando right at noon and taking Magical Express to Port Orleans Riverside. We'd rather not potentially miss a bus by stopping to grab lunch at the airport, nor do we want to arrive at Port Orleans with two famished children, so the plan is to bring packed lunches with us - which will travel with us for 6 hours before being consumed - to eat on the Magical Express bus.
We need ideas that are TSA-friendly (no liquids/gels over 3 oz.), peanut-free (we are not allergic but want to be safe in case someone on the bus is), don't require refrigeration, won't be super-messy, can be eaten on the go (preferably without utensils), and won't be overly heavy or bulky for our carry-on luggage.
So far, the best we could come up with was DIY "lunchables," comprised of crackers, cured meat, Babybel cheese, frozen grapes (which will also help keep the meat/cheese cool), baby carrots and hummus, granola mix, and bottled water (which we can purchase at JFK during the layover).
Do you have any other good ideas? I was initially hoping to bring sandwiches of some kind, but once you subtract meats and peanut butter, it's hard to come up with a good sandwich combination! If there was something that ordinarily requires refrigeration but could be frozen and kept in an insulated lunch bag, we could do that, too.
