Welcome to Carbapalooza ~ Oct 2016 Dining Report - Completed 8/13 (Updates x18, OMG!)

[Elevationist]

Come! Eat and drink vicariously with me!

I just returned from a 9 days (October 20-28, 2016) of OM NOM NOMing it up at WDW and the surrounding area, and now I'm here to share my experiences with you fine folks! And in all but ONE instance, I remembered to photograph it ALL! That's right, this dining report comes fully-equipped with epic amount of delicious food porn. Won't you join me in revisiting all those wonderful eats and sips?


About Me:

Me: Billie (35), Travel Agent & Full-Time Princess

I have been to WDW quite a few times, I love it with all my heart. This was my 13th lifetime trip, and I had a blast. And I go to Disney to EAT!

And drink. Mostly during the day. Because I'm a vacation lush.

Also, after spending all of 2016 working hard at losing weight, and managing to drop 87 lbs... Just 1 week off the diet and going carb-crazy at WDW managed to un-do an obscene amount of that work. At the end of this report, there will be a contest to see who can guess the actual number pounds I gained back during this trip. The person with the closest guess will win a prize! (Prize still to be determined.)

Here we go! Let the gluttony and excess begin!

Yay !!!! Congratulations on the hard work and success with the weight loss! I'd bet some of the regain is water retention. Give it a week and see.

And that Minnie bow!!!

Can't wait to read more!!

 

[HolRae]

YESSSSSSSS! BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just 1 week off the diet and going carb-crazy at WDW managed to un-do an obscene amount of that work.

If you enjoyed yourself that's all that matters. Besides you lost it before and you can do it again


Eagerly anticipating my first dose of major food porn

 

[HoneyPooh72]

Long time lurker, I have followed all of your previous reports. Congrats on the weight loss, such a long hard process! Love the lushness, I always have good intentions, I buy the drink , take a couple of sips and give it to my hubby, clearly not enough practice!

 

[mkla2015]

[vettegirl]

[Xclusive2WDW]

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO super excited you have another DR!!! I always enjoy them. Can't wait to eat along. We have a TDB here in MI so I'm curious to hear about your thoughts of the one in Orlando.

 

[keahgirl8]

As someone who has gone during a weight loss journey, I will say that sometimes (not always...depends on how much you ate) it doesn't take long to come off when you get back. Once you start drinking tons of water and eating normally, it may start to come right off. I actually gain more from water retention than I do from what I eat, I think.
