Does anyone else eat junk food in place of dinner at the Magic Kingdom

No
No, simply because I'm usually there for at least a week, usually more, and have no desire to spend it miserable with my stomach. I try to get three meals a day at WDW and have fried food on alternating days. Though every now and then a cookie is fine for breakfast.

Though that same rule applies at home. Seriously, why is a chocolate donut for breakfast acceptable but a brownie not?

There a hit or miss, You have to get them when there fresh and selling out every 30 minutes. If you get one on a late afternoon when there not selling so fast you will never want to look at one again, parade time is the time to get them.

I don't even like Turkey anyway! Don't think I'll enjoy them any time of the day haha.

A turkey leg is more food than my average meal. I prefer to eat light for lunch and dinner and have junk throughout the day. This is why my wife and I usually split our lunch and dinner.

We like all of our food for breakfast, then a salad for lunch, split, and a bar (no, not a drinking bar, ha ha...a nutrisystem bar for dinner. Works well for us, and we don't gain as much weight, it's not that we don't gain any...but leaves room for a couple shared snacks.:)

Stumps me. Chocolate is one thing that is healthier than broccoli.:D

With two small children, we try to eat three square meals (perhaps not the healthiest ones we can find, but we try to make some decent choices) a day no matter which park we're in. We do try to eat at "non-standard" times anytime we visit a counter-service restaurant (e.g., lunch at 11:30am or 2pm, dinner at 4 or 7), but we do have an actual meal. Otherwise, I fear we'd be ingesting more fat and calories with a couple of snacks than we would with a semi-healthy, dessert-less meal.

Clearly you've never had 1/3rd of an Entenmann's chocolate fudge cake for breakfast before.

I usually just eat to not starve to death at Disney. Everyone I've ever gone with is only worried about saving money, and I don't like to eat in front of people not eating...especially if it's money reasons. So, this trip, I'm eating everything I want. I plan to come back plump and happy.

Good for you, let me know it you need to eat with someone....I'm available!;)

Yeah, since I had the dining plan, I tried to eat lunch and dinner in the parks, but I usually ended up not having had dinner by near to park closing, and squeezing it in just because it was free. I think next time I won't get the dining plan. It was a free offer, but I'd look for one of the other types of discount instead, you know room or ticket discount.

I don't really eat dinner at home either. If I had the table service dining plan, I'd probably use it for breakfast and lunch, but on quick service I can't think of anything really appealing for breakfast.

Yea, we always will enjoy lunch in the park.. Breakfast at our hotel.. But other than that, we sneak in our packs of Nutter Butters and Oreos.

Bring on the Disney junk food. I cant get it anywhere else so its a treat to splurge. Sometimes I will skip a meal cause its a time saver, sometimes its just cause I'm on vacation and I dont care about eating a balanced meal, sometimes cause I'm saving a table service for doing a Hoop de doo meal later on. Eating a days worth of junk food cant hurt.... and especially cause I've been an adult for a long time and MOM isnt watching over me saying I can't. ( DW might have her opinions though...)

We rarely eat in the parks if we're not on the Free Dining plan. I gotta say though, we bought an ice cream cookie sandwich at Sleepy Hollow before the midnight MSEP last night and that thing was abnormally large. Literally twice the size of the normal one they give. It took all four of us to take that beast down.
