I will be staying at WDW in a hotel there and will have access to a frig and microwave to make rice in and heat up beans. But I would like to have beef also. Am thinking of getting Oscar Meyer natural slow roasted roast beef from a nearby Walmart. Ingredients are beef, water, cultured dextrose, less than 2% of the following sea salt, honey, vinegar, cultured celery juice, garlic powder. Any problems with this? I would have a serving a day probably. Any other ideas? I suppose I could make and bring my own jerky but haven't made it myself before.

If you tolerate wheat then bread should be fine. Just try to find one that is baked without oils, rye, or durum-wheat, as all of these will significantly increase the VA content. You will probably have more luck in the freshly baked section than in the packaged loaf section.
Celery, 450 IU of betacarotene per 100g. There probably isn't a lot of it in it though. You could eat raw beef if you want, let it get to room temperature first otherwise it's not very appetizing.

Maybe some of these items would work too-
Instant oatmeal packs
Raisins/dried apples
Nuts- almonds or macadamia
Hormel roast beef au jus (in refrigerated section)
Turkey lunchmeat

Thanks Guest and Bella. I should have stated that I am looking for meat ideas. I am ok with a very restricted diet on my trip but would like to include meat since that is what I'm used to eating. I will look into the hormel roast beef suggestion. Anyone see any issues with those Oscar Meyer ingredients I listed? I will look again at turkey lunchmeats - can't remember if I found one with a minimum of ingredients that could be problematic.

You can get sliced turkey and beef at the deli.

Yes, but those have additives and other ingredients too, at least the ones I know of.

I've found deli turkey without carageenan which Grant mentioned in one of his books. Sorry I can't remember which brand it was because I don't eat it much but I think that's an important additive to avoid if at all possible. I'm sure it is in most of the expensive natural brands (in the U.S.) since I've been avoiding it for years.

I just got back from the store and the brand of Turkey lunchmeat is Land O'Frost. It's definitely got preservatives but no carageenan. I've bought it in the past because of that reason and it's labeled gluten free which is important to me because of Celiac disease.

Einkorn i know should be avoided, but why rye and durum? Both show up as zero in my country 's database for both A and carotene. Could you provide more information? 🙂 One of my meals is made of our organic home made rye sourdough bread and afaik I have not had any ill effects of it.

I have had very good experiences cooking meat at home, then freezing in single portions, then taking the frozen meat on trips.
A soft-sided cooler full of frozen food will stay cool for quite a while -- long enough for me to get it to the fridge in the hotel room. If it's going to be a particularly long travel day, I'll put one soft-sided cooler inside another for a little added insulation.
Depending on the length of the trip and if I'm going by plane, I'll put some food in my carry-on and more in the checked bag.
