A Day in the Life of a Disney Trip

We're gonna wreck it!

My wife and I found ourselves fortunate enough to have a friend get us into Disneyland during our time off from tour. Usually that means it's a full day affair. We get up early, get a bite to eat, and head into the park so we can spend a lot of time doing all the rides we want to do. But it can also mean eating quick and eating out, especially since we are on tour and don't alway have a kitchen. So what did this particular day look like for us? Let me break it down for you.

We started our day with a quick bite to eat from the local Jack in the Box. I opted for the Extreme sausage sandwich with no bun. Its eggs, cheese and sausage and it fill you up. And it runs about $2.69 so its not to bad for a quick breakfast fix.

We were going to try to spend the whole day without eating in the park since we knew we had dinner plans for later that day. That was easier said than done. When you are surrounded by al the smells of a theme park at a certain point you break down and get something. We grabbed a bite at The Bengal BBQ which is are favorite spot in the park in Adventureland by the Jungle Cruise. They do kabobs and are pretty reasonable for theme park food. Each kabob is about $2.69-3.49. The veggie one is great because they load it up with yummy choices.

The day ended at the Cheesecake Factory where we had plans to meet some extended family. I got myself a salad to keep it simple and light, but of course had to get a slice of the Low Carb Cheesecake with strawberries. Its soo good and you would never even notice the difference.

All in all the day was a success. We road Star Tours, the Nightmare Before Christmased Haunted Mansion, and of course since it was 87 degrees in November we took the plunge on Splash Mountain. Not a shabby day.

I go to Disneyland a LOT and I love Bengal BBQ! I usually get about 4 of their bacon wrapped asparagus skewers for a meal, so good. Some other good low-carb tips for Disneyland is that across the way from Bengal BBQ is the Adventureland Trading Post. They sell little containers of fresh strawberries (a lower carb treat). Also at California Adventure, the ice cream parlor near the entrance has no sugar added butter pecan ice cream. Not quite "low carb" but a super nice treat on a hot day. I also eat the giant pickles too. And the Mexican counter service place at CA Adventure will do their tacos with no tortillas and will sub garlic veggies (squash, onions, peppers and zucchini) for their rice and beans. It's not easy to eat low-carb at Disney parks, but those are some good tips I thought I'd share!
