Eating Healthy "on-the-go"

When you think of Fast Food at Disney World, you may be thinking about hamburgers, chicken strips and pizza. And in a LOT of cases, you'd be right...but there are some great options for eating healthy around the Walt Disney World resort, even without the expense of a sit-down meal.

Magic Kingdom:
Adventureland - Grab a "build your own" taco salad or have a chicken burrito from Tortuga Tavern
Tomorrowland - Cosmic Ray's offers a huge array of salads, sandwiches and rotisserie chicken
Fantasyland - Pinocchio Village Haus has more than pizza...try a Penne Pasta dish or a Caesar Salad with chicken
Liberty Square - Lobster Rolls, Grilled Salmon and Vegetarian Chili are on the menu at Columbia Harbor House
or right across the walkway you can enjoy a Baked Potato and Fruit from the Liberty Square Market

Epcot:
The Land - One of the best options for a healthy and hearty meal is Sunshine Seasons - they offer everything from Asian noodle bowls and Seared Tuna salad to Rotisserie chicken and Roasted Pork Chops
Mexico - La Cantina del San Angel serves up brisket or chicken tacos, and yummy empanadas
Japan - Snack on sushi, teriyaki beef/chicken/salmon and japanese curry dishes from this little food stand
China - Stir Fry, Rice/Noodle Bowls and Egg Rolls provide nice break from french fries and hamburgers in China
Morocco - get a taste of the Mediterranean at Tangierine Cafe when you choose from many different Chicken and Lamb platters

Disney's Hollywood Studios:
Backlot Express - offers the best choices at this park, with Grilled Sandwiches and Southwest Salad on the menu
Studio Catering Company - another great menu that includes many sandwich, salad and wrap choices

Disney's Animal Kingdom: 
Yak and Yeti - stroll on over to Asia to find some healthy salad and sandwich options, as well as chicken and rice dishes

While I enjoy a good hamburger or pizza as much as the next person, it's hard to imagine a whole week of "fast food" and thankfully Disney has provided a wide range of options to avoid the typical "fast food" rut. Enjoy!
