How much weight do you gain at Disney?

[Kath2003]

I gained a couple of lb in 8 days - because I was eating over three times the calories I would at home, and because I walked less at Disney than I would at home. Yes, I walked less in Disney than I would at home - my feet did not get tired once, nor did I ever go home with aching legs! I really don't see why everyone thinks there's "so much" walking at Disney - it's gotta be no more than 5-6 miles a day which is hardly excessive!

I took my pedometer and we averaged at least 10 miles per day. I am sure that it is different for everyone, but it seemed pretty consistent for us.

I almost always lose I few pounds...sometimes I stay the same...but I have never gained.

And I eat, eat, eat when I'm there. Like all the others have said - all the walking!

10 miles a day isn't that much, though. You're supposed to walk 5 miles every day anyway (10,000 steps) so it's probably slightly over average but you're eating twice as much. Personally I found I only walked 12,000 steps at Disney (5-6 miles) which is less than I would normally walk, and the food content was HUGE!

Last September I did the Disney Triathlon and vacationed for 10 days. I gained 5lbs on the DDP. At home I exercise almost daily, so all the extra food I was eating on vacation wasn't burned off from walking. Swimming, biking, and running don't hold a candle to the DDP!
