If you want we can put in the actual recipes. I will go first.
Originally Posted By ImNotAllThereMyself My tuna Pitas are quick and simple. Pack a plastic fork and knife, two packets or seasoned tuna, diced cucumber and scallions (in a snack size zip bag) and get mayonaise packets from a local resaurant. At lunch find a table, open everything and mix in the gallon bag. Spoon into Pita pockets, and feast. I will offer up the other recipes, later. I have to run right now. Love Cheshire Cat

Originally Posted By ImNotAllThereMyself Ok first of all, there are tables and chairs and places to eat all over the park that are not in a restaurant seating area. Over by the lockers, on the streets in New Orleans, in the Courtyard of Angels, and if I can't find a table there is always Tom Sawyers Island, the Benchs on Main St. or the benches between Frontier and Fantasy. I don't BUY drinks at the park, we bring a water pack. I will cop a squat where I can. I don't STEAL tables in the restaurant. This was intended as a thread for people who try to hit the park on the cheap. Not as a flame thread to complain about not being able to find a table. Thanks anyway for your thoughts.
