Eating Whole 30 at WDW?

[sdchickie]

Does anyone know of a resource for meals at WDW that are Whole 30 compliant? I'm not going to be super stringent while on my vacation (yes I'm going to get my Dole Whip!) but I'd like to try and keep as on track as I can while there. Any help would be appreciated, pictures of the meals you've eaten that are compliant would be even better! Thanks!

What is whole 30? You can check out menus at allears.net

1) No.
2) Disney does not go into Fad Diets.
3) If you want to stay with the diet, just order foods that comply.
4) You will have to monitor the food stuffs yourself.

Liberty Square Market in MK has/had baked potatoes that can be ordered plain. There is also a good selection of fresh fruit there. The roasted meats at the resorts QS might be a good bet too. You will have to look over the allergy menus yourself and piece things together based on what you personally want to avoid. I would definitely order groceries for some fruit, veggies, nuts, rxbars, guacamole and hard boiled eggs.

Fwiw: i just tried amazon "prime now" for the first time on my recent trip and it worked wonderfully. Lots of foods i could eat, ordered from on board the plane and delivered to my hotel before i even arrived. Idk what whole30 is but it was a real treat for me to find vegan "jerky" for very reasonable prices on prime now. I hope they have some of what you're looking for and you find this helpful. Have a magical trip!

(Have to suggest it just because it worked 100lbs worth of wonders for me: maybe consider veganism if you've not thought about it before. It's good for people and for the environment. Also it's generally way cheaper than eating animal products. No pressure, but it's worth reading about when you find a spare moment.)

Thank you so much for asking this, I was curious too.
Whole30 is basically no dairy, no wheat, no sugar. Most times wheat and dairy are indicated, sugar you have to use your best judgement.

Unfortunately, WDW does not publish the ingredients and/or detailed nutritional information for their meals. You can check the allergy menu for specific high-allergy ingredients and some places have total calorie counts available.

Just make the best selections that you can and wait until you are back home to comply with a strict Whole 30.

Unfortunately, WDW does not publish the ingredients...for their meals.

I'm assuming you mean they don't publish it in any outward-facing way. It's not on their websites, but literally every WDW dining establishment, including kiosks and carts, has a big janky binder with complete ingredient info for every dish. People with allergies or lifelong dietary concerns end up becoming very familiar with these binders. This is what you'll be presented if you indicate to a CM when ordering that you have a dietary concern they've not heard of (like, I imagine, this particular diet). I guess though that also depends on how strict you're being and how you phrase it. If you just ask them for healthy foods or say "can I get a potato without toppings" I'm sure most CM's will work with you and make recommendations without ever thinking about the binders. If you phrase it as though it's a serious concern like an allergy or religious/moral lifestyle choice, then you'll get the binder because Disney folks are pretty much trained to err on the side of caution and none of them want to be the CM who caused an allergic reaction on otherwise ruined your day.

Thanks, I do have my Garden Grocer order ready for all my breakfast foods, but eating in the parks is going to be a little more difficult.

Thanks for the info on the binders, I'm probably just going to ask for a healthier version rather than try and figure out what is in everything I eat. It is cool that you can find out what you're eating if you want to though.
