We will be staying at the BCV for the first time in a 1BR. We want to save some $$ by having some meals in our room. Anyone have suggestions on what food to bring? Is there enough stuff in the room (cooking utensils, etc.) to make it easy?

We'll be taking the auto train so we can pack non-perishables in our car before leaving.
 
You will have all the cooking utensils you need - pots, pans, cutlery, spatula, baking sheet, place settings with bowls, plates, etc.

Take all the dry food you think you can eat like snack foods, cereal and such. There are basics sold in the BC gift shop like milk, eggs, juice. Or if you are renting a car (or being picked up by a towncar service) you can stop at the grocery store on the way in.

We drove in and made a grocery run after checking in. We bought sandwich makings, chicken thighs, dry pasta, ground beef, hotdogs, a frozen pizza, fruit and salad mixes. Be sure to buy or take your favorite spices to cook with. One night we had grilled chicken with pasta, another night was pizza, and another was spaghetti. We actually overbought food because we did eat in the parks more than we intended. It was just so convenient to stay in the parks during the fall with fewer park hours.

Enjoy your stay. After staying in a villa, you will never want to stay anywhere that doesn't have those amenities!

Oh - BTW - you will be supplied with a small package of dishwashing soap and laundry soap. If you plan on eating in quite a bit, or doing more than a couple loads of laundy then take more with you.
 
Thanks for the great info!

BTW -- how do you get the countdown to the number of days til Disney to show up in your signature?
 
hi: i don't know whether or not you will have a car. if you are going to stop for groceries on the way, it will be a bit easier for you to just pick up the coffee that is prepackaged in filters. also, the laundry tablets (Tide, etc.) come in handy too. it will be amazing just how much money you can save by having drinks, snacks, and breakfast in the villa. have a wonderful time.
 


Go to the Tech Support forum here and there should be a thread that walks you through how to set up your countdown timer.
