Is It Worth It To Eat Healthy in Disney World?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Disney World dining is notoriously known for all its delicious sugar, carbs, and salt! But what if you want to eat a little lighter? Is there ANYTHING healthy to eat there? Molly is headed to all four Disney theme parks and Disney Springs to try out some healthy meals and snacks to see if it's even worth eating healthy in Disney World.

Thanks for focusing on “healthier” rather than just the lowest calorie option. Health can mean many things to people, and it felt great to see basically everyone included.
“Food is just a vehicle for sauce to get in my mouth” - Molly, 2020
I agree I’m a big sauce person
I felt this on a spiritual level.
I have a great video for the start of the year. A video of Molly's favorite and best sayings from 2020
Morocco Pavilion is such a hidden gem in Epcot! One of my favorite parts of WDW to eat at
After watching this (and pretty much everything Molly does in Epcot) I just wrote down “spend more time in Morocco” on my Disney planning notebook for our next trip!
Most of the time I base what I eat off of the weather. If it is hot and sticky out, I’ll go for something lighter, to keep my stomach from getting upset. If it’s a cooler or crisp day, I’ll indulge in a nice hot (and let’s be real, usually not the healthiest) meal or snack. It’s all about balance and portion control for me personally. But, everyone is different😊 Eat and be happy! 😋
Morocco is the most underrated pavilion for food, and we absolutely love it. Both restaurants there have delicious food options.
It would be really cool to see the calories consumed in a day of "normal" eating vs. eating healthy. Like if you tracked calories/macros on an app like my fitness pal. Last trip to Disney in 2018 we planned out all our meals ahead of time to know where to go for "healthier" options in the parks. You def. gave me some ideas for eating in the parks in the future. Thank you!!
Can you do a video on low sugar foods to help Diabetes. I understand most won’t need this video but it will also help a lot. Thank you x
Have you looked up to see if there are any diabetic Disney vloggers? There’s bound to be a few
I also can’t eat sugar - I know Sprinkles in Disney Springs has 2 flavors of sugar free cupcakes. Looking for the same!
My healthier eating tips as an AP and former CM is : water , water , water . Stay hydrated !! Even in the cooler months . I personally almost always order from kids menu from the quick service , it’s cheaper , fills me up just fine and there’s always a veggie or fruit involved 😊
Molly is by far the best Disney UA-camr.
1000 thumbs up!!! I love her Universal/Harry Potter vids too!!!
The vegetable plate at Tangerine Cafe in Morocco is huge and delicious! The Greek salad at ABC Commissary is also really good and it comes with a side of hummus and pita!
At the ice cream cart, the menu you skimmed over included a chocolate-covered banana with nuts. Real fruit, no artificial sweeteners, some protein and good fats from the nuts....much better than the artificial sweeteners in that "fruit" bar!
Maybe the chocolate is milk chocolate, which mean it has dairy so it might no longer healthy. Also nuts can add up the calories.
@@Nicole-by3ng I assume if you're eating *anything* then there are calories involved. The goal is to eat the right amount of calories, and to eat healthy foods as much as possible to do it. As I said, the fats in nuts are healthy types of fat. Banana and nuts are good ways to spend your calories; the chocolate is less so, but overall the banana is a better choice.
We love any videos with Molly!!! She makes us happy with her fun attitude! 🤩
Where does Molly get her masks? I’m always amazed at how well they fit her face and never slide around when she talks! And of course they are all so fashionable!
Please do this for universal too!!!!
Good idea!
The frozen bananas have been a constant since the Magic Kingdom opened and they are so refreshing on a hot day. Yea, they are covered in chocolate, but they do have actual nutritional content, especial with nuts.
?
The tips to go eat during non meal hours, we live by it!!
I gotta say you did a really good job with this . I am totally on board with your version of healthy
We’ve gotta say it’s got WAY easier to eat healthier in WDW! My wife who’s a vegetarian always struggled, but now she’s spoiled for choice in each of the parks.
This. Was. Excellent!
I have an eating disorder and an autoimmune disorder (read: physical and emotional mess) so there are are foods I can’t eat, trigger foods, foods that I shouldn’t eat... it was really nice to get a balanced look at what’s good and what’s worth it. Molly, you are wonderful!
I always get healthier options every time we go, and it’s always worth it to me. I check all the menus before getting to where ever we’re going to make sure there’s something for me. But I also love my Mickey pretzels & alcohol drinks!
My absolute favorite thing...Skipper Canteen and the whole fried fish...not exactly a healthy option, but brings back memories of my childhood.
The Buffalo chicken salad from sci-fi drive in is one of my favorite meals on property and i couldn’t tell you why
We had an excellent meal there with terrific service too. On another Disney group's video (Disney Food Blog--DFB) the host once said something like "The only consistent thing about Disney restaurants is that they're inconsistent." Of course, some are usually much better than others. Maybe we got lucky at the Sci-Fi.
For anyone keto or carnivore, it’s pretty easy to find meat, cheese, and salad/veggies at the buffets or sit down restaurants. My husband and I have DVC, so we stay in the villas with a full kitchen and buy ribeyes at Trader Joe’s and eat that and some eggs (maybe some green beans) for our one meal a day.
You can also stay at very reasonably-priced resorts with kitchens off property, so this is a great option.
Thank you for this! I limit my intake of gluten, dairy, and fried foods for health purposes so I’m always trying to find good eats.
I'm gonna need Molly to accessorize me for my next Disney trip! I always love her parks style!
Watching Molly bite that frozen strawberry bar gave me chills.
I loved this video, I have to watch what i eat but I also like to mix it up a little, with a less than healthy option every now and then. I love that Disney is catering to all of those needs now and they are easy to find. I also love that they are adding more dishes with a little hit of heat which really adds to the flavour!
I eat healthy for all meals and then have a big dessert or one unhealthy meal each day in Disney, and it is SO worth it! I feel good and still get to enjoy my food!
"food is just a vehicle for sauce to get in my mouth" - Molly I love it !
Yes! Especially for your kids who are already overheated, overstimulated, sunburned, and exhausted.
It can make all the difference in the world for their behavior and well being.
It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing approach, but limiting junk will be worth it.
I love how Christmas music 🎶 is still playing. Thanks for the info.
Love this Molly! Can you please do a video on the cheapest things to eat in Disney World?
Pro tip they give free water
Check out her snacks videos. Some of them are certainly meal sized.
Definitely quick service and the big snacks!! You can bring in food and I would say never pay for breakfast, I never do just because it’s my least favorite meal lol
You could easily do a breakfast at hotel, PB sandwich type deal with snacks that you bring in and then do the special snacks like dole whip (and share say one or two for a family of 4) and a yummier quick service dinner to save $ :)
I'm a big meat-eater myself. But you know what I absolutely love? The fried tofu bowl at satu'li canteen. It's SO good!
Also, just as an fyi, corn is actually a grain. I know those of us that grew up in the south consider it a veggie. But it isn't. To be fair though, we also often see mac and cheese on the "veggie" menu. Haha.
I love watching updates on post covid parks
Love those pastel rainbow ears!!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
It's nice to hear this coverage from someone who "gets" it, that healthier doesn't necessarily mean low-fat. Good fats, no added sugar, stay away from processed foods. Healthier means good for the brain as well as the body. Thank you for the video. Morocco is one of my go-to options but I never had their fried hummus. I would have just assumed it was breaded--looking forward to trying this in a couple of weeks.
My favorite at Magic Kingdom is the cheese and fruit tray at Gaston. I have that for breakfast. I'm diabetic but I can't have any artificial sweeteners so it can be hard at Disney. I buy one treat a day and eat half of it. I try to substitute green beans or veggies for carb options. I also drink water except at dinner. I plan most of my meals ahead of time. I do this so I can have occasional splurge and still feel well in the park.
Are they good at labelling items or having lists of ingredients in the parks? I can’t have any artificial sweeteners and am worried about planning meals and drinks when I get to visit
@@96mashy No. You can always ask there but I prefer to plan in advance. Table Service is much better about it. I don't get anything that says diet, low sugar, or sugar free including the diabetic options for dessert. I just get the regular high sugar treats and only have up to half. The Dole Whip is a great option. It hurts my frugal heart to throw it away. At Disney I have a "sugar budget" as well as a financial one and I really want to try the treats. The sizes are just so large so it's the option that works best for me. I bring filtered water bottles and we drink a ton of water there. I'm from the South so Sweet Tea is what I usually get when we eat out somewhere. They don't have it at Disney except for a few restaurants. That helps.
The Cobb Salad at the Brown Derby is a great choice - so you can consume mass quantities of those phenomenal rolls they serve there!
you're right - the disney kids meals are a good way to reduce calories too. smaller portion. and cheaper. win win :)
I have to eat gluten-free and I love a good salad, so I really appreciate the usefulness of this video. Thank youuuuu!
We love nomad lounge especially because it’s where we hang out when we did fastpass rider switch for flight of passage! My husband would camp out there for 30 min with my toddler daughter and then I come trade places with him so he can ride and it’s great food, drinks and atmosphere. Service is always great!
The octopus salad at Wine Bar George is really good and I think could nicely fall into the healthy category.
Pecos Bill has my favorite quick service of our trip this summer! Thanks so much for all the helpful info Molly ❤️
Love the shrimp at Satuli Canteen also!!
I was NOT expecting the spice lol
This is awesome- I’m on a health journey and go to the parks often and I’ve really needed ideas! Thank you so much 💜
I liked this video! Quite often when I looked for healthy foods at Disney online, it just showed either salads or foods that are like vegan or gluten free that doesn't have much nutritional value (like you mentioned with bakery place at the end). Whenever I'm on a trip that's longer than two nights I just need to eat something relatively healthy every once in a while. I don't necessarily want something low in calories, but I mainly want vegetables. If I mainly eat fatty and carby foods with very little vegetables I tend to get lethargic, stomach pain or headaches and acid reflux. I start craving it after a few days anyway and get tired of fries with meals twice a day. On my first trip to Florida I really enjoyed the braised pork meal at Be Our Guest (for the green beans!) and Liberty Tree Tavern (the salad, turkey and the green beans). I definitely enjoy myself on holiday, but when I start craving vegetables, I will listen to my body!
Well said! Happy New Year!🎊
Awesome video! Thank you for covering this topic. Love the ears and mask combo!
I loved the Cobb salad at the Brown Derby so much that I looked for a copycat recipe when I got home & had to make it. It's sooo good!!
Molly I will keep these suggestions in mind for my next trip to WDW..... someday... it's funny how you can find the best food in places that you'd never expect it... my sister and I went Resort hopping , to try something different for food, I had a very tasty Bowl combination of some sort that I thought was very tasty... who knew??!! Love your videos, please keep 'em coming!! And it's true, you are helping to keep us sane in these crazy times!!! We love you Molly!!!
I have lots of diet restrictions and find lots to eat @disney. My all-time healy favorite is the chicken energy salad at Electric Umbrella and land pavilion.
I LOVE spice road. So underrated!
Nice video. I found this when I was looking for eating healthy at Disney videos.
True statement: "food is just a vehicle for sauce to get in my mouth." 😂
My favorite Disney vlogger (or any vlogger really).. Go Tigers!!
Love the Ohana dinner video
Yay!!! My spice road table dreams came true! I can’t wait to eat there!
If you walk within a park you shouldn't have much to worry about. But do use available bus/skyway/mono for travel between park and hotel.
My 5 yo son would probably eat that veggie plate over most things you can get in the park. He’s weird like that 😂
This is a great and realistic video!! My opinion to start with and I think finish with is healthy-ish breakfasts and snacks (eg yogurt, whole wheat bread & PB, some fruit and veg, a pickle and a pretzel and dole whip depending on the day and park) and then yummy meals that may or may not be kinda healthy and drinks! ;p and lots of water!! Also completely second kids portions of legit food which is now at a lot of places!! So nice for us people with small or medium appetites and when it’s super hot I can’t eat as much.
Thanks, Molly, for the healthier food choices. I find it very difficult to eat healthy at the parks. This is great information. TFS!
Thanks Molly this was great! My eating is normally bad at disney but I don't try hard to find better options. Some of these look really good and if as you say you went with someone well...you could try their less healthy stuff without eating a plateful and that is a win!
We went to WDW in March 2019 and I lost 15 pounds there. For the most part, I can't make myself eat the food they serve. We were staying club level so we mostly ate that food. We didn't buy any of the special cupcakes or anything. The kids got a Mickey Premium bar one day and some popcorn. You don't have to eat all the crap to enjoy the parks. IMO of course.
We research the restaurants we want to go to and make decisions that way. Also, since we stay at a WDW hotel - I always grab a fruit in the morning before the parks and we have ordered groceries in the past.
Excellent info.. my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary at the Brown Derby when you were there. She watches all your videos and was like “Oh!!! That’s Molly!!!!”
I had the Charcuterie (wow glad there’s a spell check for that.) board but never learned what was on it.. can’t wait to see your review of it. 😁
Morocco is my FAVORITE!!! The Shawarma plate from Tangerine Cafe is my favorite meal at WDW!!!
AllEars: "Is it worth eating healthy at Disney?"
Me, with bacon strips in both hands and two in my mouth: "Huh?"
That youngling meal from Docking Bay 7 is so good! My daughter is 4 and loved it (she loves veggies, I know, it's weird). We told her it's veggies and edible dirt and she was all about that!
We also managed to swap the fries for green beans. And they were delicious!!
the very best a must do in the park.... pacos bills coral reef and monoco. never have done skipper
's, love greek food.
ABC Commissary also has reserved seating also which can be convenient for planning a break on hot days.
I am just getting to this video...THANK YOU! I struggle with eating vegan/healthy when in the parks.
I’m always keeping note of what ears Molly wears - I have yet to own one pair because I can never decide, but I’m ready to start my collection!
Looking forward to the update on Spice Road. My husband and I loved the meal we had there in the past.
Great video! As a local, I'm always looking for healthier options.
Omg I have fun at Disney and we are looking to go soon but Every time we go I suffer so much when I go in terms of food options - I not only hate the flavor of processed food but for serious health reasons I can’t and shouldn’t eat it ! Food tastes to me at Disney like super sweet and salty or plasticky ! These video has good options ... I will try them - normally I cook from scratch so I worry about the way healthy things are cooked at Disney or restaurants in the USA ...
disney has a lot of healthy food options and restaurants with delicious foods. My daughter has allergies and she did great at Disney esp if you talk to the chef beforehand.
Love your vids Molly! The location of MOROCCO (restaurant) is bad .. .. It's all the way in the back! I love the place and am going to plan a family dinner for 30 of us next DEC there!
Take the water taxi across and it will put you out right at it!
Polite Pig’s Brussels sprouts are amazing, as are the roasted beets!!!
And their mac n cheese!
That Cobb salad looks amazing!
Molly and I might be best friends..."it's not totally healthy, but better than most". That's my life motto everyday...can't figure out why I can't lose weight!🤪
Spice road table was the best food I had at Disney!
I went to Disney 3 times this year and it was my first year on keto. So excited to see your video!
How was it? I am on Keto and slightly stressing about my trip. This is our 3rd trip but my first on Keto. I cant go off plan or I get sick. I do it to control my insulin so I don't have to take medicine.
@@mommy2cody6 it was better than I expected feel free and email me at jocon10138@gmail.com I can tell you everything I did as far as food snacks etc.....
would u be able to do the same kind of video for universal parks?
HAPPY NEW YEAR MOLLY !!!!! ✨✨✨
And thanks for your always awesome videos 💙💙💙
Can’t wait for the new one 💖
I love this topic! I’m going to WDW in February and I know I’ll need to slot in some healthier meals to balance out all the salty snacks and sweet treats. Thanks for the recommendations!
Pov: your watching this while eating chick fil a 😂
me
A great new drinking game. Take a drink every time Molly says “very”. Or if you want to get really drunk, drink every time she says “favorite”.
Great video! We aren’t going to be in WDW until august but I am excited to see this. Last time I ate at ABC Commissary it was awful so your review was so helpful! We may not end up there in August but it is so good to know it is good now!
So hard for little ones with food allergies to see all those scrumptious treats & not be able to eat any. My grand baby has egg/nut allergies. We have to take safe snacks & eppies everywhere. At 4 yr old you want everything you see other kids having. So it is nice that Disney does offer safe foods.
I don't mind eating unhealthy when I'm at the parks cause I'll burn it all anyways with all the walking.
You'll sweat it out too from that damn humidity
Molly this was EXTREMELY helpful! Always important to know about Healthy eating spots! Well Done!! You are so detailed I LOVE that! GREAT healthy eating video!!👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤗Happy HEALTHY New Year!!🎉🥳💕
The Cobb Salad is delicious but the portions are huge. If you could order it in a normal (half) size it would be healthy.
Don't gorge yourself but don't deprive yourself.
That was my plan last time we went. I wasn't about to figure out the WW points of everything. I ate what I wanted, but I didn't go overboard. Add in all the of exercise over eight days and I didn't gain any weight.
Cracking up at The Cheiftan’s music in background of Pecos Bill 😂
Every time I’ve gone to Disney with my friend he thinks I’m weird that I like to eat something less sugary at least once a day, usually at lunch. But like all that sugar, especially in Florida heat, makes me get sick. I don’t want to have a sugar crash in the middle of the day either so 🤷🏼♀️
Great video- can’t wait to try out spice road next time we go. Would you be able to show us that backpack you’re sporting? It’s so sparkly just curious what it looks like.🥳
Molly- LOVE this video! I like to eat with the best of them, but it is nice to be reminded that there are some health(ier) options that are fun and delicious at Disney. I trust your real world take on these options, many of which I enjoy myself, but I learned a lot as well. We will see what ultimately comes of Spice Road Table, but that chicken stew looked amazing! The kids hummus and veggie plate at Docking Bay 7 was something I probably wouldnt have even found if not for you! Maybe you could choose a health(ier) choice alongside a decadent choice when reviewing individual restaurants? Again, I think if I was made aware of something that I might not choose on my first impulse(which is usually sugar and fat) I may consider something different and probably feel better about myself in the end! BTW, any time you can show your dogs, is a true pleasure! I am a huge Kronk fan!
I think I saw you molly on the 28th at Magic Kingdom in the Splash Mountain line. I was going to say hi but you were with your family.
I added this video to my Disney Must know youtube list because I wanna lose weight while I'm at disney so between walking a ton and eating with more veggies I'm in!
Love you Molly! ❤️😊
Thanks molly !
I need to know what that eyeshadow is that you're wearing on Animal Kingdom day??? LOVE!
When I’m in Epcot that is my opportunity to really walk and stretch my legs. When I’m there alone I get walk around grapes and water. Mexico was my favorite for dinner. I don’t go on vacation to see how much I can eat. I don’t think we ever bought any of the insane drinks and treats. Boys were athletes and daughter watched her weight. In Disneyland we stayed off site and ate at nice restaurants. We have a no alcohol rule when the kids were along. Still had great fun. ⚓️🎉🍾🥂 Molly’s tips are great. Have to try Morocco next time...
