Eating healthy at WDW?

[caroline1851]

We tend to eat pretty healthy at home. I know it's a vacation and i certainly will get my share of junk food, but...........is it possible to eat relatively healthy on the ddp? Also, most of the kid's menus are very limited, do they have other options or do they only get to eat chicken fingers, hamburgers and mac and cheese the whole time? it just seems that's all that's on almost any menu.

You will have more then enough of your meal left over that your children will have not only the food from the childs menu to eat they will have half of what you order if you so desire.

I think you will find that you can eat as healthy as you want.

We eat fruit/veggies/salad/water every day at WDW.

We're very healthy eaters as well and are always on the dining plan. We eat at WDW like we eat at home or whenever we go out to restaurants. We don't order the burger/fries deal at CS either. They do offer healthy options for those, too.

As for our DD5, she orders the healthy items off the kids menu, not the fried chicken fingers. They do offer healthy items on those menus.

You should go to allearsnet.com and check out all the menus for the CS and TS restaurants. That way, you can have an idea of what and where you'd like to eat before you go.

I don't know what menus you've been looking at; it's very difficult to find a hamburger or chicken fingers on a kid's menu. I'll give you the mac-n-cheese (thank goodness, that's all mine eats!).

Actual CS options for kids include:
Baked Chicken Wings
