Disney in June




What was I thinking?!?! OMG it was so stinkin hot! I was so thankful that I had dropped 30+ lbs because I couldnt imagine trying to fit my big butt on those rides, but also walking around with that excess weight in 100+ degree heat.


All in all it was a great trip. Disney was FABULOUS when it came to my surgery. So long as I carried my surgeon's card, I was able to order child sized portions with NO issues. I was even able to use it when we went to the Character Dinner which is a buffet!!! Granted I didn't eat a lot, but still--Disney didn't have to do that. I was so thankful to them for accomodating my needs. Everyday I took a cooler type bag full of jello, string cheese, peanut butter and other foods that I could eat into the parks and not once did anyone say anything to me about it. I know that the food that is sold makes up a lot of the revenue for them, but if anything Disney was open and inviting for us to bring in our own foods.



I will admit I didn't stick to my diet as much as I should and we ate out more than we should but I dont think I gained any weight back. I am not able to get on a scale while in FL because the one at my parent's house only goes up to 300 lbs. I hate to have to admit that but such is life......


The last thing that was a lot of fun was that Greg and I got to go play golf on the Magnolia Course while at Disney--- it was gorgeous and so much fun. This was my first full 18 holes of golf and I did really well (or so I think). I did not count my water hazards twice (only once) so I shot a 112. Greg better watch out because with some practice I think I might be able to beat him ---but shhhh! dont tell him I said that!!!


So my consensus for vacationing at Disney is this:

1---AWESOME for weight loss patients when it comes to food being taken in the park or ordering child portions


2---NOT awesome to go during June (or July or August while we're at it!)
