Being on a diet at Disney World can be a challenge, but there are yummy, healthy choices available. We have listed a number of healthy options at various locations around Disney World, sorted by location and restaurant type.http:
There are options for just about every type of diet at Disney if you put some thought in ahead of time. As AJ Wolfe from Disney Food Blog says, “Food IS a theme park, but you have to plan ahead.” Here are some great choices for those that are trying to eat healthy on vacation.

There are options that fit into the categories of vegan, vegetarian, low fat, clean eating, low calorie, paleo, low-carb and others.
Almost every quick/counter service restaurant will have at least one healthy option. The same it true for table service restaurants.
Like most bits of advice to do Disney well, planning ahead is your friend. Check out the menus of different restaurants at disneyworld.disney.go.com and figure out a few that you would like to try that fit your specific diet.
Disney generally has large portion sizes, which is a great value, but detrimental to a diet. Be cognizant of how much you eat as well as what you eat. Some of the upscale, signature restaurants have smaller portions sizes, but most Disney restaurants give you a lot of bang for your buck.
MANY items are big enough for two, so consider sharing to shrink your waistline and fatten your wallet! When we last went, my daughter and I shared almost every meal since she was too young for the dining plan. Neither of us went hungry. By far the opposite. If Disney give you any good deals, they are on portion sizes.
The good news is most of us get a TON of walking in while we are at Disney World, so even if you splurge a little, you have a bit of wiggle room.
