Hi everyone!!

I just looked at what I think I'll have at Le Cellier for just ONE lunch
French Dip - Cheese Soup - Canadian Beer 21 Points!!
I need to get rid of either the French Dip or the Soup

which would you choose the sandwich or the cheese soup?


also - the Hoop de Doo Review - even AFTER I take the fried skin off - just one leg - one breast - four ribs and a slice of the cake is 19 Points.

I had us planned for a few buffets - think they are going to be a waste if I can only eat a couple of mouthfulls

Shell,

One of my favorite meals at Disney is at LeCellier. I always order the cheese soup and a salad that comes with crumbled Bleu Cheese (sorry, I can't remember the name of the salad). You can add a chicken breast to the salad, but I find that to be too filling. Now don't forget you get all the bread sticks you want and some of them are so yummy!

What if you ordered what you want, and then share some of it with Tramp or Scamp? I always find the servings at Disney to be pretty big, so would the soup and half of the french dip work? That way you get to ahve both, and you don't waste the rest if someone can split the sandwich with you. Just a thought.

My opinion is that on vacation, you should just make "better" decisions -- not the best. Thus, if you are better than you normally are (and maybe walk a hair more) you will do well.

However, I'd vote for the soup :-)

Also remember you will be walking ALOT at Disney world and you can get points for that!! Get a pedometer and figure out how many miles you get -- and then take a look at the points you can get. You may be suprised.... On average I walk 8-10 miles a day at Disney World - closer to 10 at EPCOT -- and if you look up the points you get for 10 miles... Most people walk between a 15-20 minute mile when walkng a moderate pace - so if you walk 20 minute miles for 10 miles = 200 minutes = the Points Booster only goes to 120 minutes - so I will do it for 100 and multiply by 2. 100 minutes for someone that weighs 200 lbs (that would be me) would be 7 points -- so multiply that times 2 = and extra 14 points on that day alone -- and that does not take into account your available 35 flex points. I think you can do it.

wow that's right - forgot about getting points back for walking - we'll be swimming and horseback riding also and then the flexpoints - and I've already gone back and taken various food items off my tentative menu - so I should be okay - thanks everyone for the tips and encouragement : )
Now I can have the Creme Brulee : )
