I don't exactly advertise it everywhere, but I have been on a Weight Watchers adventure for around a year. And it has been really awesome. I've lost thirty-five pounds!
If you don't know much about Weight Watchers, this program really is designed to help you live your life healthier by making good food and exercise choices.
Even on vacation.
Weight Watchers lead me here. My favorite vacation destination is Disney. Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line…I'm not hard to please. If Disney is in the title, I would like to go there because Disney makes me all excited and happy and what not.
But sometimes (read: most of the time), it is really hard to eat on vacation while staying anywhere close to on plan. Sometimes I frankly don't even want to.
In no particular order, here we go:
Premium Mickey Ice Cream Bar - 17 Smart Points
Serving Size - 1 Bar
My Thoughts - This is not big enough to spend 17 points on.
Dole Whip - 5 Smart Points
Serving Size - Dole Whip - 1/2 cup
My thoughts - This is already my favorite Disney snack and now it is even better.
Dole Whip Float - 13 Smart Points
Serving Size - Dole Whip Float - 1/2 cup Whip with 8 oz Dole Pineapple Juice
My Thoughts - I can live without pineapple juice.
Churro - 8 Smart Points
Serving Size - 1 Churro, does NOT include dipping sauces
My Thoughts - This is not as horrible as I thought it would be! I'm game.
Serving Size - 1 apple
My Thoughts - A moment of silence for a former favorite. The only way I could justify this is splitting it four ways. Just because something has fruit in it does not mean I can count it as good.
Serving Size - 1 Drumstick
My Thoughts - This isn't too bad considering these can often replace a meal. They are approximately the size of my head. I can also eat this in line. I am so efficient.
Serving Size: 1 Pretzel
My Thoughts - The points on this can't be right unless Disney has managed to fill the pretzels with magic instead of carbs. I'm not going to trust it.
Disney Popcorn - 20 Smart Points
Serving Size - 8 oz bag
My Thoughts - I probably wouldn't eat this entire bag but share it with family. Not a bad choice. This is Orville Redenbacher Pop Secret popcorn.
Disney Caramel Corn - 48 Smart Points
Serving Size - 8 oz
My Thoughts - 1 oz is 6 points, so a taste would be okay.
Mickey Beignets - 7 Smart Points
Serving Size - 1 Beignet, No dipping sauce
My Thoughts - Could I really just eat one with no sauce? Maybe y'all have better self control!
So there you have it!
I hope this helps while you are in the parks. The research was very eye opening to me (curse you, caramel apple).
However, I do feel like I have the tools to make good decisions while enjoying the parks and all the food they have to offer!
Have a Zippity Doo Dah Day!
