Trying to Keep Family Vacation Healthy at Disneyland

We are definitely a Disney family. I think we pretty much own all the Disney animated movies, and, yes, we probably know the words to all of them, as well. We have tried to make a trip to Disneyland once a year and we have been very successful at doing that, even when we lived in Oregon. Now that we are back in Southern California it's so much easier for us to go regularly.

With our trip last week I was somewhat prepared to make it as healthy as possible. There are amazingly healthy food options at Disneyland and California Adventure. I had a super yummy chicken caesar salad and water from the Pizza Port on our first day there. It was a really hot day, so the salad was so refreshing! I even snagged some of my son's carrots that came with his little pizza meal. For lunch the second day I had brown rice and grilled chicken with veggies from an Asian food restaurant in California Adventure. I, again, also had carrots from my son's meal. :) The third day for a snack I had the juiciest pineapple spear...it was heavenly!

Overall, I did pretty darn good considering all the yummy sweetness that Disneyland is infused with. I wasn't perfect, by any means, but I really did try hard. I indulged in a churro and some soda, but I did refuse some candy when offered to me. I also had a few bites of my husband's ice cream sundae and some frozen lemonade. I did do a whole lot of walking those 3 days, so that has to count for something! :)

Vacations can be done healthy! Planning it out is key, but also keeping positive thoughts going through your mind when you see those sugary treats is vital! We are heading back there in a few weeks for some more vacation time...probably just one day. I'm determined to make it 100% healthy! I will let you know. :)
