Mickey shaped ice cream bars, Shamu slushees, Jurassic Park cheeseburgers, French fries, and soda galore - Ahh, the joys of theme park food! It is all delicious and fun, until your guilty weight-and-health conscious mind steps into the picture. But, dining at the Orlando theme parks does not need to be this way, thanks to newer and healthier in-park dining options!

Walt Disney World is notorious for delicious in-park food options. Disney understands that people are becoming more health conscious and have begun implementing numerous healthy dining and snacking options for those who visit their four Disney theme parks. As you walk around the parks, each park has at least one fresh fruit stand. Also, look to grab fast options such as Dole whips, turkey legs, a cup of chili, or fresh fruit bars to keep fat and calories at bay! When going to a quick-dining option in the parks, look for Disney’s newest side items, for kids and adults alike, such as low-fat milk, 100% fruit juice, unsweetened applesauce, baby carrots, or fresh fruit – in replacement of the fatty French fries and soda. When at Disney sit-down restaurants, don’t be afraid to speak up! They are more than willing to accept your special dietary needs requests. Ask if you can substitute for a healthier side item, put dressings on the side, or for sugar-free or fat-free dessert options.

Universal Studios Orlando has been put on the map recently for their break-through dining options of trans-fat-free in-park dining options! Many of the in-park restaurants and food locations at Universal Orlando offer cooking in trans-fat free oil or heart-healthier options. Kid’s meals now come with the option of fruit or trans-fat-free French fries, while adults have the choice of a side salad or trans-fat-free French fries.

SeaWorld Orlando has been doing its part in conservation for the animals and the environment over the years, but now they are doing their best to conserve one of the top animals on the planet – humans. With healthy food stops, SeaWorld Orlando has some of the most heart-healthy options out of all of the theme parks. At Mama’s Kitchen Healthy Alternatives, guests can get quick-service options that are prepared with fresh ingredients and lower-fat items. Diners can visit any restaurant throughout the park and see low-fat, low-carb, sugar-free, and vegetarian options. If you are looking to satisfy your sweet tooth without sacrificing your diet, SeaWorld Orlando can help you out with their sugar-free options at Polar Parlor ice cream shop, Sweet Sailin’ Candy Shop, and the Cypress Bakery.
