Tips for Disneyland & California Adventure Eating?

[Adeline Ronado 2]

Headed to Disney in Anaheim! There is hardly anything on the web about the best places to find Bariatric friendly menu items in the parks, district and hotels. Any tips are appreciated! TIA!

It's been a long time since I've been there, but no matter where I go, I look for a meal that I can get my Protein from, and leave off the carbs. Things like steamed shrimp, or steak, or chicken with vegetables instead of rice or potatoes.

The food in the park is so expensive, I would bring a cooler of food to leave in the car and go tailgate for lunch.

Disney parks allow outside food. You could pack your food. They also have a ton of options for all dietary needs. Even if you want fast food on the go you can always get their famous giant turkey leg. Just have someone to share it with.

Bring in Protein Powder you can even mix with Water. Bring packets of high Protein Peanut Butter, easy quick protein fix. Then when people stop to eat, eat a plain burger patty or Beans and cheese (Mexican). That is what I would do. And if I wanted to eat something "treat" while my kids ate a dessert or sweet, I'd bring some 85% dark chocolate and have a square or two.

Across from the Indiana Jones ride is a BBQ skewer place. You can order by the individual skewer for $3-4 each. It’s about 2.5-3oz of meat, so perfect portions for bariatric people. You can also request it cooked without sauce if you are Keto. In Disneyland, just past Splash Mountain there is a food place up the big wooden ramp that has grilled chicken burgers. You can have it without the bun. I think they will let you substitute baby carrots for the fries.

There isn’t really a good equivalent in DCA. There I think you are limited to turkey legs or hot dogs or hamburgers without the bun.
