Originally Posted By RoadTrip My favorite is School Bread at the 'Kringla Bakeri og Cafe' in Norway at Epcot. It is worth the airfare to Orlando all buy itself. I usually gain somewhere between 2 and 8 pounds when I'm at Disney World. This past year I didn't gain anything. I think it was because I was just recovering from pneumonia and my body needed all the energy it could get. I'm lucky though. I seem to have a base weight that stays pretty constant. Even the time I gained 8 pounds I was back to my normal weight again in 2-3 weeks.

Originally Posted By Labuda Another vote for the Tamarind Grill Filet. That thing ROOOOOCKS! and I tend to either hold steady or lose about 2 lbs or gain about 3, it varies from trip to trip and depends on whether or not I work out while I'm there
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Hmmm love the filet at Cali Grill! I actually tend to lose weight on a Disney trip. Because I often dine in restaurants for work, I don't tend to increase calories, but I have little time for excercise. When I am walking and swimming while away, I actually lose!
Originally Posted By bloona my favourite is the babotie(African shephard's pie basically!) at Boma. I usually gain about 4lb but loose it when I eat normally at home. Think how much we would gain if we ate the same amount and didnt do all of that walking! lol

Originally Posted By Disneymom443 Favorite food well that is so hard to say.... I'll say one of my faves is the Dole Whip. I gave from 2 lbs to 5lbs. Then I work hard to get it off. About a week or 2.

Originally Posted By sun-n-fun Love almost all food at Disney. Usually I stay about the same - give or take a pound or 2. All that walking has to help some!!! And we usually only get 2 or 3 meals for the four of us to share. Alwas seems like plenty of food.

Originally Posted By fundog58 As for food, there are tons of places I haven't eaten at but I love the fish & chips at Harry Ramsden's and the chicken strips and mashed potatoes at Wolfgang Puck Express.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I seem to go into theme park mode when in any park (not just Disney), and I never really need to eat. I think I've gone a whole day on a couple handfuls of popcorn and three churros. When I was in Six Flags in Georgia, all I had was a frozen lemonade. I've never checked to see if I gain or loose weight, but using that strategy, I would assume I loose a lot. Unless I get more leg muscles, which is entirely possible too.
Originally Posted By sherrytodd The petit filet at Le Cellier, and dole whip, and the nestle ice cream sandwiches, and the chicken curry at Boma, and every pastry in Norway and France, and the egg role cart, and the pulled pork sandwich at Flame Tree, and the German sausages at the Biergarden, and the black bean soup at the Caribbean Beach, and, and, and... I figure about 5 pounds for a good trip.
Originally Posted By pbjshakelover There's so much great food at WDW. My sis & I do gain more weight than it seems other people do (we must really be packing it in!!). In a day at WDW, we average between 13 & 15 miles/day and we do laps in the morning at our hotel pool. Imagine if we didn't!! However, we do lose it quickly when we get back home because we're very strict. Everyone had some great responses to this thread (& I learned of some new food!) Thanks a lot! It's the first time I've actually tried to start one!
