Disneyland nutritional info?

I am guessing no one has it, since the DL website says they don't give it out... But we're going in a few weeks and I'd love to try to keep track of what I'm eating while I'm there. Anyone with any information? Nothing except Dole Whips in the database! Thanks!

OMG I'M TOTALLY WATCHING THIS POST!!!! I'm going at the end of December, so I totally get it. =D
At the moment I'm just assuming that every single thing I eat is 300 calories, even if it's just a lollipop. Lol.0 -
Use your best judgement. Drink plenty of water and make sure you choose things a little healthier than the other options. Cut back on the salty things and deep fried anything. Walking around the park all day will help keep thinks in balance.0

They don't give it out? What are they hiding?0

maybe you could just dance or do aerobics in between all the attractions to get your burn number up? If you're wearing one of those hot, heavy mascot suits, you'll increase your burn too, and you'll fit right in!0

Make sure you go on the teacup ride!0

lol, last time I went to Disneyland I just logged brand-name foods, fruits/veggies, and pineapple Dole ice cream (from the Tiki Room!! It's actually on MFP lol). Everything else I just guestimated. :P
@artimiasacorn, Disneyland doesn't serve food from restaurant chains so they have no obligation under California law to list their nutrition info on their menu. What incentive would they have to do that anyway? People would just buy less food.0 -

We went a couple of weeks ago. Back in Toontown we found some basic turkey sandwiches which I'd guess didn't do too much damage. I think that and a coffee was the only thing I ate in the park (we only did one day). Plus you walk around all day which is probably good burn. I gave up and didn't log while there.0

I know at Disney World you can bring in your own food and drink. We took a backpack that had a cooler liner. We took tons of water, some powerade and healthy snacks that way we didn't eat AS much. Then I just tried to make smart decisions after that.0

I was just there a few weeks ago and while it was awesome to see fruit and water stands mixed in with the unhealthy ones it was difficult to get a healthy meal! I ended up at a Mexican restaurant where I was able to get some grilled fish from one area of the cafeteria and have them add it to a tostada salad minus the shell on the other side of the cafeteria. I would really recommend bringing snacks/lunch if at all possible since healthy food really isn't what they are serving!0

We always brought food in so I never checked for NI. They do allow you to bring in your own food in small coolers so I would pack stuff for my family. Actually my husband would eat the fried corn dog, but the rest was healthy snacks. However, we live 30 minutes away so this was pretty easy to do. I did see some healthy options at the park, but the corn dog is definitely not one of them. There is plenty of fresh fruit there and some sandwiches looked decent.0

I usually end up adding a similar item from the database and hope for the best. The portions are pretty generous so you can always share too. (The Cajun chicken salad from the French Market is my personal favorite, btw)
Also if you haven't already seen it, this is worth the read: http://www.mouseplanet.com/7278/Dieting_at_Disneyland
The site also has menus so you can do planning etc. Have a great trip!0 -
We're bad when we go, eating at nice places every night... But I figure that might actually be easier than the fast food places there, since at least 1) I have a few minutes to think about it and 2) there are probably some healthier options at the sitdown places than fast food places.
If anyone is able to snag any info lemme know!!0 -
You know what. I'm going tomorrow and I'm going to take my scale and weigh the ingredients of the salad I always get. I'll dissect it and post the values on the site. I always go to the pizza port in tomorrowland and get the
Starfield of Greens featuring Ocean Spray® Craisins® Brand
Mixed greens topped with tomatoes, blue cheese, caramelized walnuts, Craisins® Dried Cranberries and golden raisins with a basil-vinaigrette dressing0 -
I'm going in September. I'm going to be sensible but i'm also going to enjoy it, how often am I going to get to go to Disney! :drinker:0

I was just there yesterday. I ate at the Plaza Inn restaurant. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to get nutrition info on any food in the park. I thought it wouldn't be that difficult for them to calculate what nutritional information the food they serve on their property is. It's not about what their responsibility under the law is either. They are in the hospitality business. Providing this kind of information is just another thing they should be doing for their guests. They have professional award-winning chefs throughout their properties. It would a simple matter for anyone of them to perform this kind of calculation.0

Why did you

If you can figure out some way to get Disney to fess up and tell people what is in the food they serve, please let me know.
They just will not. They'll smile and lie and politely say they don't have it, but they won't tell you.
One of these days, I'm going to ask someone who works in F&B for the info I want, lol.
I just bring my own food now. So much cheaper, anyway.0 -

Well, remember that you'll be doing a generous amount of walking around Disneyland just to get from point A to point B.
If there is a fruit- or veggie-based option for your treat, go for that.
If you are having a sandwich, go for the whole-grain bread if it's available.
Drink plenty of water (if you can take a bottle of it in with you, do so).
While bringing your own food is indeed cheaper, be prepared to have your hand stamped (so you can re-enter the park later), as you will have to keep it in the vehicle until you are ready to eat.

Unless policy and signs have changed, there are signs that say no outside food or drink.0

I can't speak for Disneyworld, but you CAN take your own food into Disneyland. If you doubt this, take a swing by MiceChat forums and ask them. The APers will hop all over you with reassurances.
I'll be there shortly, but I'm just gonna eat all the things and guess my best! I can't be bothered to make sandwiches when I could eat park food (I actually like a lot of the food there).0 -
You can take your own food to Disneyworld too. It's just really not convenient to have to carry all that stuff with you, even less to prepare it when you're staying at a hotel.
There are a lot of healthy options though, so don't worry too much about it.0 -

There may be signs saying you can't, but I've never seen them. Whatever the stated policy may be, the de facto policy is that it's allowed. They search your stuff before you go in and I have food in my purse most times I go.
It really does irk me that they won't give people nutritional info.0 -
I took my own sandwiches into Disneyworld. I did ALOT of walking and snacked alot on things like apples. They sell them throughout the parks.0

Going through security at Disneyland, a lot of people have coolers in their strollers, full of food.
I'm not sure if they changed it but there used to be lockers in the area by the park entrances, where you could store your picnic items. It looks like it's officially a rule and there is still the picnic area.

Disney is pretty laid back. They're the only cruise line I know of that lets you bring your own alcohol aboard, openly.

Seriously? That's excellent news. I'm looking at doing a cruise, and since I like the mouse, and I like my own liquor. That's a great match.
Now only if they had skeet shooting on board, it would be epic.0 -
You may want to check it on cruise line forums to make sure that's still the case. My Disney cruise was in 2007. They're pricey so it's probably a lot cheaper to just buy alcohol aboard another line but I highly recommend seeing Castaway Cay.
No skeet shooting but they're also the only cruise line with fireworks! (Or they were in 2007, anyway.)0 -
I just got back from disney world, and we brought tons of food into the parks with no problems. The only things I ate from in the parks was dinner, lunch and breakfast were our own (we had a suite with a kitchen, so stocked up and cooked as much as we could). I did kind of give up on the logging food, but I did wear my fitbit and logged 15,000 steps a day at least. Not as much as I thought, but enough to balance things out.0

I'm going around Christmas and was wondering the same thing. I've told myself that it's a vacation and the yummy foods you get to try are part of the experience. I figure that all the walking we'll do in both parks for 3 days, to and from the hotel, standing in line and entertaining 3 kids will help me burn a little extra to make room for the Mickey beignets. I'm planning on tracking what a can and tacking on some extra calories here and there for padding. I figure those 3 days will be pretty inaccurate, but I don't want to break my tracking habit, even for Disneyland. I'll try and make healthy choices most of the time, but will still splurge a little.0
