weight watchers and disney dining?

[dis2cruise]

i am doing the core program through weight watchers. i have been looking through menus at some parks and i have to say i am a little nervous because the menus don't really apply to core.

has anyone done the core program successfully at disney?

I am on ww too but doing flex. Still having eaten at WDW I know they are pretty nice about accomodating your special needs. You can subsititute carrots for fries which is helpful. One thing I can recommend is that they have a kids meal at many cs places that is small pieces of grilled white meat chicken and some grapes. Also a little thing of crackers, not on core but a small, precise serving that could be counted. I like the buffets, which always have plenty of meats, salads and fruits. Good luck, we go in April, I hope I can be a good Weight Watcher while there too!

P.S. You might also try posting this on the W.I.S.H Board.

Most TS restaurants will be glad to accomodate you with substitutions and let you know what ingredients a particular meal has. I also highly recommend Boma at AKL. The chefs are right there behind the buffet area, and are happy to let you know what foods will fit with the Core program. They will even whip you something up if you're having trouble finding something that you like.

And, don't forget to count your activity points -- you'll be walking like crazy at the parks.

Why don't you just try flex while you're on your trip? You can do either plan but you need to stick with it for the week. (I'm a WW recep.) Disney is easy on flex. Plus we average about 7 miles a day walking, so you are certainly earning your activity points. Have a great time and don't sweat it - you're on vacation!
