My dd8 takes goldfish crackers, apples and string cheese frequently in her lunch at school.

I like having healthy options... But I want options... My kids usually snack on fruit leather, fish crackers, and such... During the meals if they want fries such I would like that option....

Originally Posted By LadyKluck I agree, my kids would starve on that too and they're 1 and 2! That really is more like a snack than a meal for my kiddos.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I saw this on the kids menu in OCT and I thought "what the heck?" That is exactly the snack we'd have packed for our kids. Not that this is typical but our grandson is allergic to most things dairy so that wouldn't even be considered as an option for him. As a grandma I don't mind paying the price for the nice turkey sandwich and fruit in the cute Mickey dish that we got at Riverbelle or a pasta or chicken meal at the Plaza but snacks that you can easily bring in yourself, no thank you.

Originally Posted By DyGDisney My kids don't eat fries very often at Disneyland. We usually eat at places like Carnation Cafe, Pizza Port, Pacific Wharf Care and Cafe Orleans. No fries at those restaurants (except the yummy garlic parm. fries at Cafe Orleans). In fact, they don't eat fries much at all. BUT, if they want to have something like the yummy chicken strips at StageDoor Cafe (which I hear they no longer serve) and some fries, I don't see a big deal. We're on vacation!!! I know they'd get sick of fries at every meal. But $7.00 for apple slices, yogurt, string cheese, etc. is ridiculous. They wouldn't want that at DL. We pack trail mix, kids Cliff Bars, apple sauce, etc. for snacks. I didn't even realize most kids meals came with fries at DL. I guess we don't eat at the places that have them.

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Now it's a big plate of fruit... Cantalope, watermelon, honeydew, pineapple, grapes, strawberries, orange slices. We took half of it with us... I am trying to think of where you were offered fries with a kids meal too - the only place I can remember was at stagedoor, tomorrowland terrace, and taste pilot... Well and then McDonalds. We usually don't eat too much at those places...

Originally Posted By DyGDisney Good. Darkbeer told me they changed them to chicken nuggets (again) I was happy when they changed from the nuggets to the strips. I'm not a chicken strip person, but those are pretty darn good!!
