Tips to Eat Healthy at Walt Disney World

Amanda M. Rose
I am one of those people that enjoys my vacation time, but I am also one of those people that tends to have to wait a month after coming home from vacation to step on a scale, because to face the truth and to own up to over-indulging that occurred, can be much too painful. One of my favourite vacation places is Walt Disney World, and anyone who has been to Walt Disney World knows that the Mouse offers a lot of yummy treats that make it oh-so-easy to fall of the healthy food bandwagon.

Well this last trip, I was determined that this wouldn't be me. I was going to Walt Disney World on the dining plan, but I was going to be indomitable and not use my snack credits for ice cream bars or funnel cake, my counter service credits for hamburgers with fries and my table-service credits for buttery lobster and cheesecake. I was planning on coming home and not having to Photoshop my pictures because I progressively got more bloated throughout the week.

First off, let me tell you, this healthy eating plan for my trip took a lot of planning ahead of time. I was not able to find nutritional facts on the restaurants at Walt Disney World, and when I inquired to the four major parks, I received a response that due to the menu changing so frequently they did not have a record of the nutritional facts.

    It's a toss up, so much unhealthy yummy food at EPCOT too!

    Thank you for sharing all of this information. Some of those salads sound really good. The prices at Epcot were crazy I thought though. But it is good to know if you are willing to put in the effort you can still eat healthy at Epcot.
