Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / March 2004Disneyland Paris
Hi All I have a small dilemma. In 3 weeks my family and I are off to Disneyland Paris. I will only be on the 7th week of my weight loss plan. Has anybody got any suggestions as to what they do when they go on holiday to stick with the programme? Or has anybody been to Disneyland Paris and can suggest some good places to eat? I have to be mindful not to spoil the trip for my Wife and 2 Sons. Any help would be really great. Thanx Jim. > Hi All > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Jim. I've never been to Disneyland Paris but I've visited Disney World in Orlando several times. Here's a site that might help with what's available: http://homepages.which.net/~ian/eatingwell.html You'll do fine if you just watch the portions, drink plenty of water and keep the snacks to a minimum. Choose the healthier items from the menu when possible. If you're like me there is going to be some park junk food you just can't resist - mine is the frozen bananas dipped in chocolate and nuts<g> When I took the grandkids to Disney a few years ago I outfitted each of them with a fanny pack so they could carry water and a snack. We would have a nice late breakfast, a snack during the afternoon and a nice dinner later in the evening. This worked well for us. I recently returned from a 10 day vacation in Florida and only gained a half pound. I simply ate a sensible breakfast, light lunch and enjoyed dinner in the evening. I usually bypassed the bread but didn't always pass up the dessert. Most of all -- have fun and enjoy the trip. You'll have to post some pictures when you return.

In the restaurants, let your family order their meals and you can order a salad (no dressing). Then eat from your stash in your backpack to suppliment. Or, throw caution to the wind - take it as just 1 day and enjoy yourself. Make up for it the next day or the day before. > Disney trekking advice: > > Bring a backpack w/ food and drink.

And, ya know what I would say if they protested - KISS MY a.s! If I've got a special diet, I should be able to bring my food in.

I've never had a problem putting water, sandwiches and snacks in a backpack and bringing it in. Search or not, they just wave me thru. Hark! I heard "JayJay" <jjf_71@notmail.com> say: > > > Disney trekking advice: > > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > And, ya know what I would say if they protested - KISS MY a.s! If I've got > a special diet, I should be able to bring my food in. Disneyland in CA allows outside food/drinks too. We actually didn't buy much to eat at the parks; we had breakfast & usually dinner at the restaurant next to the hotel, and took snacks in the backpack after the first day. > Not have to be forced to spend $5 for a bottle of water. They were charging $2.75 for a bottle of water, but we found a Dasani machine at the hotel that charged only a buck each...

Don't know about Disney in Paris but the Florida park has never said anything about us bringing in water, snacks and an occasional piece of fruit. I'm sure they would object if we tried sandwiches, etc. Beverly > > In the restaurants, let your family order their meals and you can > > order a salad (no dressing).

We ate mostly at the "fast food" counter serving places. We didn't spend over $100 on admission to sit in a restaurant! We always shared one meal - the portion sizes were stupidly big. The choices weren't very healthy but we managed to consume less fat and calories by sharing.
