anyone wear their fitbit in the parks?

[cropper]

Wish I had one last week!! I would love to know how much we walked, and walked, and walked.....but all worth it!!!

How much walking is done while in the parks? Just curious from those who have worn a fitbit or similar device.

I can't wait to hear as well! I have read that most people average about 12-13 miles a day! I might have to purchase one to take with me in June!

I wore mine during my trip last September. 18,000 steps was my highest step count but 14,000 was about the average. We didn't stay in any park all day though.

I wore mine on my last trip. My best day had 25,540 steps!

I did and I loved it more than I can tell you. Was averaging about 15 miles a day and that was not taking the double strolled loaded down with bags that I was "pushing."

 

[Luv2trav]

I wore mine everyday. The most was 27,000 steps on our Epcot day. I averaged about 20K a day.

I'll be wearing mine! and I'm super excited about it

This is the one thing I've looked forward to since getting my fitbit last year. Can't wait for our trip in May!

You averaged 15 miles a day?! My average is more like 7-8 miles a day. I think one time at Epcot I did 13, but I think I was doing a lot of backtracking.

I averaged about 23000 steps a day which Fitbit says was about 9 miles. ( I'm 5'2 )

 

[philschrek]

13.3 miles per day average, with three small children.

My peak was 38000 steps in a day. Epcot days always give me the highest step count, plus I walked to the Studios and back that day - maybe twice.

I'm a bit suspicious that some of the attractions jostle me in a way that adds steps to the pedometer, but I haven't done before-and-after checks to see if that's actually happening.

 

[Mad Hattered]

My highest was 34,000 in a day when we were at Universal in February.

 

[Cedarmom]

I had between 20-25k every day of our trip.

 

[angierae]

I did 20k steps at Cedar Point last fall. I'm really looking forward to seeing what I do at WDW

 

[verleniahall]

Just bought one today - looking forward to seeing what it says after our trip in October/November

DH and I got ours for Xmas and we're pumped for our May trip. I've been "training" for all the walking whenever the weather's nice enough to go to one of our 2 parks or around our neighborhood.

 

[wahoostampingirl]

I've worn mine for the last two or three trips and I get anywhere from 18k to over 30k. My highest day occurred when we started the day at Epcot at 8:00, hopped over to MK at 2:00pm and then stayed at MK until 3:00 in the morning. Unfortunately, since Fitbit starts over at 12:00am, I didn't actually get to record an over 30k day. Still fun to see the step rack up.

Last September we averaged about 20K-30K a day with a 4 year old. We usually took an afternoon break for water play.

Love all of these steps! I plan on wearing mine during our upcoming trip, can't wait to report back!
