In Praise of Power Pack

By Jennifer Stuart

​Looking for a relatively nutritious meal option?  Forgot to pack your snacks for the day?  Watching what you eat or just want a smaller meal?   The Kids Power Pack Meal may be the choice for you.

​Kids Power Pack is a kid’s meal that is available at many counter service restaurants in both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.  (including The Hungry Bear, Golden Horseshoe, Harbour Galley, Refreshment Corner, Stage Door Café, Tomorrowland Terrace, Award Wieners, Smokejumpers Grill and Pacific Warf Café) This is a “Mickey Check” menu item, which means that Disney considers it a healthier option. 
 

The cost is currently $5.99USD, which is fairly reasonable by park standards.  Most of the items included will please many picky eaters and other than the yogurt it can easily be carried around in a bag or purse for snacking throughout the day. 

​
 The Power Pack includes:
Dannon® Danimals® yogurt (strawberry flavor every time we have had it) or Yogurt smoothie , bag of sliced apples, bag of mini carrots, mini banana, snack size bag of whole-grain "fish" crackers and choice of small low-fat milk (we have usually been offered Nesquick milk) or small Dasani® water.

Power Pack is from the kid’s menu, which is intended for kids 9 and under, but no one is going to ask for proof of age or even check to see if you have children with you.  Not a big eater?  This is a great value meal.
​

Thoughts?
Are you a fan of the power pack?  Is this something you would buy?
