Start your day off with a filling and balanced breakfast. This could be from options at the hotel breakfast or things you bring for the room refrigerator like boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, cheese, nuts, oatmeal, and/or granola/protein bars. The main thing is to make sure you eat enough so you don’t end up starving by the next time you get a chance to stop for food. Bring snacks just in case though. You might even be able to save some dough and pack lunch too. Some parks will allow you to bring in coolers and others just a non-insulated bag. If coolers are in, you can pack things like turkey and cheese sandwiches, cold fruit, cheese sticks, cold pasta salad, carrot sticks, yogurt, and more. For your dry, non-cold items things like homemade trail mix, protein or granola bars, and peanut butter crackers all make great grab ‘n go options. I certainly encourage people to honor their health and make healthier choices when out, or to at least balance their main dish with veggies or a salad. My point, aim for balanced choices that still allow you to have fun on vacation. Being overly hungry leads to overeating for most.

Make sure you can take snacks in the park.
Don’t pack really salty or really sugar snacks.
Pack snacks that are high in protein.
Make sure to pack hand sanitizer and wet wipes to clean up a bit before diving into the snacks.
Stash items in a stroller, park the stroller, and come back when you need something.
Don’t overpack perishables.
Try to pack exactly what you’ll need as far as things that require ice, and pack a bit extra of the things that don’t, like trail mix and whole fruits.
You might need a late night snack before you get back home, but you want to be able to get rid of the ice by midday.
Unless we plan ahead and pack our own healthy snacks.

You may be surprised by how many nutritious food and beverage options amusement parks provide. While you're walking through the park, keep your eyes open for nutritious options. Go for a grilled chicken breast sandwich with a side salad or corn on the cob. Or, squeeze in a serving or two of vegetables with a veggie burger, salad or grilled vegetable skewers. Just because you'll be at the park from dawn until dusk doesn't mean you have to eat every meal there. Before you leave, serve a healthy breakfast at home. At the park, fill in with nutritious snacks from home. Portable foods such as nuts and fruit make great snacks for children and parents alike. If the park you're visiting doesn't allow you to bring in food from outside, you can still snack right. Many amusement parks now stock nutritious nibbles such as fresh fruit cups, yogurt and even carrot and celery sticks.
