Disneyland on a diet?

I just recently went to disney world. i thought i was going to have a hard time staying on track, but in fact - there are alot of options. There are the fruit/veg stands. Also, i found a few quick serves that sold fish. just dont settle ..... find what you are looking for.

Definitely try to eat breakfast (and lunch) on your own. If you go to the grocery store you will also be saving tons of money! and for dinner just get what you want within reason. but most importantly Enjoy your vacation!!

Be careful not to eat too little while doing Disney. They say that the average person walks 16 miles per day while at a Disney park so make sure you're eating enough to get through the day without making yourself so hungry that you end up making bad choices on the go. Otherwise, just enjoy your trip! Disney is magical and has so many great food options that you shouldn't deny yourself - just choose wisely.

Here are all the menu's at Disneyland because grocery shopping is not fun for me to do on vacation. If you are going on vacation, I'd just have fun and pick up any dieting you are doing after you get back, unless you have specific dietary restrictions you are trying to follow. I'm an annual passholder, and I follow this advice even when I was going once a week.

I was sick as a dog from going to Disney and eating the food. I found it very hard to get healthy options but we were also on the dinning plan so that made it rather difficult as most items available to me were all of the fried, greasy, or disgusting variety. If I have anything to say about it, I would never return! Not worth being sick the entire trip. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Hmmm...your usage of the term "dining plan" makes me think you were at Disney World. And that plan also takes you to all of the cheapest places to get your food.

At Disneyland there some cheaper places with your standard "theme park" fare, but when you know where to look and what you get, Disneyland food is amazing. My husband and I have actually converted people from Disneyland haters to Disneyland lovers just by showing them the food options available when you know where to look.

You can't go to Disneyland, or live your life, on a diet.

Understand you need a lifestyle change in order to get and stay fit. Once you live your new lifestyle, it goes with you everywhere.

People on "diets" do lots of them, but never seem to make the connection.

good luck.

We are headed to Disney World in 2 weeks. I have been stocking up on Costco bulk foods and will be bagging up single servings of healthy snacks for both myself, husband, and 2 boys. Also bringing Gatorade while though it does have extra sugar, we will need to keep up the electrolytes while we sweat them away. But I'm also thinking that no, I won't be able to keep track of everything I eat and heck, this is vacation and I'm going to enjoy myself. So if I screw up and eat a little less strict, my walking will be helping burn the calories and again, I'm going to enjoy myself. Just making some wise choices during the day and then splurge a little once a day.

Been to Disneyland lot's of times, just bring your own food your allowed to carry a backpack ect..

In January 2009 I went to Dizzyland & California Adventures.. So inside of the California Adventures there was this food court area. And at that food court they actually had a "Shrimp Louie" salad that was verrrrry good. And another cool thing there. I was in the area of that haunted hotel, and the little food area there had these different kind of hot dog... check this out ... with a option for a vegetarian hot dog... It was actually a portabello dog. No meat. And man was that good. One more thing I had while I was there.. A really good caramel apple. : )

Have fun!!! And you must go on this ride for sure.... GO ON THE SOARING OVER CALIFORNIA RIDE... I promise you will want to get back in line again immediately. It was sooo cool. Definately my favorite ride ever. As you smell the oranges, think of me.. Have fun.

California Adventure Park has healthier options. I am a Disney addict and had season passes when we lived in California. I eat only fish and am gluten free and clean food. Disney is getting way better at accommodating people with allergies. It is not impossible to find. I like the Rain Forest Cafe in Downtown Disney. There are other choices there too. The Critter buffet is wonderful at the Grand Californian hotel and Ariel's grotto is much better than it used to be if you and your kids want to have dinner with princesses. Goffy's kitchen is also fun if you want to have food with the characters and at the buffets you can choose healthy options. Disney used to be just awful for healthy food options but it has gotten a lot better. They also accommodate you if you have special preferences. I hope that helps. I am a clean food eater and was just there this past Summer. It was the easiest time I had finding food for myself. There is a Target nearby and at Target they serve fresh food which is really cheap like fruits and veggies. They also have big things of nuts you can take on the road with you. Disney allows you to take your own food in. We ate breakfast bought milk and cereal for the kids and packed lunch and had dinner at a restaurant or a cheap Mexican place in the area. Dennys is also an easy place to get something healthy or cocos. There are lots of good options if you look around. It is very expensive but you can do it on a budget if you do it the way we did it. Most importantly have a ton of fun!!!
