Do you buy packaged snacks in Disneyland? I ask because I've noticed that I tend not to buy anything at Disneyland that I could buy at a local store, saving my money for in park treats like churros, or Mickey-shaped ice cream sandwiches More...
I tend to do the same but my son has managed to find cheetos in the park and I have to say nothing beats a little bowl of the fresh fruit especially the cold grapes on a hot day. - PopcornYeti377.6 #360 9-19-12 8:35AMLike Reply
We don't live in southern California, but I do tend to bring a few snacks that I will stash in my purse. But I am still a sucker for those cute Disney-shaped pretzels, so I still end up buying snacks, anyway. I cannot believe I did not get one of those Mickey ice cream sandwiches this summer, though. Will definitely have to get one when we are there in 2 weeks!! Yum! - meridafan1035.5 #83 9-19-12 9:00AMLike Reply

Has anyone stayed successfully low-carb at Disneyland without having to eat a salad for every meal? I think I might just take a diet break for the four days I will be there.
On Disney vacations, I've found the best thing I can do for myself is portion control. I eat about 5-6 meals throughout the day in smaller portions. I normally eat breakfast, and then break my lunch and dinner into smaller meals. I've found that this provides me with energy I need throughout the day and is actually better for your metabolism, anyway! Hope this helps! - EpicDio381.7 #354 2-9-12 9:23AMLike(6) Reply
