So, I was naive enough to think that I would be able to blog in the evenings after days at Disney World. Um, no. A day in a Disney park is enough to knock one on one's backside, so to speak. All I could do after getting back to the hotel was have a glass of wine and space out. We left Orlando at noon and are now safely ensconced in a hotel in Atlantic Beach, where I can listen to ocean surf rather than the cacophony of a theme park.
Food at Disney actually turned out better than I expected.
Saturday we went to Epcot, and had lunch at Seasons Food Court after riding Soarin'.
Veggie wrap:
Quite tasty, albeit slightly too heavy on the eggplant.
Hard-boiled eggs (ate the whites, left the yolks behind:
Had to get some protein in since the veggie wrap didn't have much.
We met friends for dinner at Chefs de France.
Appetizer of French onion soup:
Tasty but large - I ended up leaving half of it behind.
Entree of duck breast and leg with cherry sauce:
This was cooked very well, the sauce was delicious, and there was none of that un-rendered fat that can make duck unpleasant. It was accompanied by mashed sweet potatoes and baby pattypan squash.
We spent Sunday in the Magic Kingdom. I did not eat anything there as the offerings at counter service restaurants were unappetizing. We got there first thing in the morning, then at 2:00 or so left for a swim and rest at the hotel. I had lunch poolside - a Cuban sandwich. Then we returned to the park at 7:00 to catch the Main Street Electrical Parade, the Wishes fireworks show, and a few more rides.
Monday morning we returned to Epcot, and had breakfast at the Seasons food court while waiting for our Soarin' Fastpasses to become valid.
Special K and fat-free strawberry Greek yogurt:
A satisfying breakfast that clocks in at 190 calories.
The Seasons food court definitely wins for healthy eating; the Magic Kingdom would do well to add something similar to their offerings.

On the Road to the House of Mouse
The kid has a four-day weekend coming up (MLK day followed by a teacher workday) so we're going to Disney World! Stay tuned for my attempts to stay healthy (or at least not sick) and find something tasty among the roadtrip food and theme park food.
