Hi! Boy, do I ever. I actually write for The Affordable Mouse (my series is called Minnie Minus Mickey: Doing Disney as a Single Parent), and right now I am in the planning stages of a Disney vaca in September. I plan on being in Phase 4 by then (hopefully, lol), but I've found that my attitude towards food has changed a great deal. When I am in Disney, I also will be writing from the POV of a dieter at Disney.
We have the meal plan, as well (which do you have? Quick Service, Standard, or Deluxe?), and we have the Deluxe because we love character breakfasts and signature restaurants. When you make your reservations, there is a box for special dietary considerations. You simply type in low-carb, low-fat, and your server will be able to help you. Allears.net also has a menu list FOR EVERY restaurant and most quick service locations on property. Lately, Disney has become more health-conscious and is offering healthier, as well as more economical choices. Anywhere you go, you'll be able to find grilled chicken, fish, lean beef, etc. I HIGHLY recommend the smoked chicken platter. You can get it with veggies. All meals pretty much come with a dessert, but you could use this option to get something packaged like Mickey ears Rice Krispy Treats and take these home as souveniers for children young and old in your life.
Gosh, I could go on and on about this...former cast member here, lol. If you want to PM me, I can give you my number or e-mail address to recommend some places for ADRs (Advance Dining Reservations) depending on what theme park you'll be touring and your preferences. Yay for Disney World!
