Are you planning a trip to Walt Disney World? Or just want to learn more about the parks and don't know where to start? Disney Darling breaks down the basics for you! Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World Disneyland and Disney World are two different parks, located on opposite sides of the country. As mentioned in this post , it is a common misconception that Disneyland and Disney World are the same thing. Disneyland is the first Disney theme park ever, opening in 1955. It is located in Anaheim, California, near Los Angeles. Disneyland has two different parks: Disneyland Park (with the castle), and Disney's California Adventure (or DCA). Disneyland also has three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping district. Walt Disney World is located in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando. It opened in 1971, after Walt's passing. Walt Disney World has 4 different theme parks, 2 water parks, 28 hotels, and the Disney Springs shopping district. There are quite a few more differences, but lo
Grab a snack at a produce stand
There is at least one produce stand in every park. Here you will find fresh fruits, granola bars, juice, carrot sticks, sweet potato chips among other healthy options.
Anaheim Produce - Sunset Boulevard, near the Tower of Terror
Harambe Fruit Market - in Africa, near Kilimanjaro Safaris
Liberty Square Market - by the Hall of Presidents
Prince Eric's Village Market - across from Ariel's castle
The Land Cart - between the Land Pavilion and the Imagination Pavilion
Substitute water for soda
You should be doing this anyways at Walt Disney World to avoid dehydration from the Florida humidity. Soda will dehydrate you. And water is cheaper than soda. It's a win-win-win.
Check menus before visiting
The My Disney Experience App and Walt Disney World's website have menus to all the restaurants and food stands on property. Use this technology to inform yourself on what places serves what food. Make decisions where to eat based on which ones serve the right food for your diet.
Bring your own snacks
This can also save money! Pack fruit, veggies granola bars, crackers...whatever you like.
Substitute fries with veggies or fruit
In a lot of restaurants you have alternatives for sides. For example, at Cosmic Ray's you can order apples or green beans. At Columbia Harbor House you can have steamed broccoli.
Go nuts over bananas
After walking around in the Florida humidity for a while, you'll probably crave some ice cream. Instead of grabbing a Mickey ice cream sandwich, try a frozen banana. It is covered in chocolate and nuts so you'll get a little sweetness with not as much fat.
Allow yourself to try some treats exclusive to Disney
There are some foods you just can't have anywhere else. Why deprive yourself of them? So go ahead and try a Dole Whip or a turkey leg or the grey stuff...it's delicious! And as long as you usually eat healthy, you don't need to feel guilty for treating yourself every once in a while.
