Disneyland gives healthy meal options to kids

By

Straight from the OC Register’s Around Disney’s Blog:

Four years ago, Disney parks began an endeavor to create healthier kids’ meals.

Now, the Disneyland Resort’s two parks offer lower-calorie meals at all of its restaurants. At the parks alone, 38 menu options are available. Another 40 are on hotel restaurant and room-service menus.

Children automatically get healthy sides and drinks, such as carrots and milk when they order a kids’ meal. Still, visitors can request fries or sodas. But about 60 percent of visitors choose the healthier options.

The maximum guidelines for a meal: 550 calories, 35 percent of calories from fat, no added trans fats and 10 percent of sugar added or none when possible. Click, “more” for the list of new food items.

Direct from the Disney Parks Blog

Last Friday, “Disney Channel Rocks,” a new rock-concert style show featuring performers who dance and sing live to music from Disney Channel shows and movies, debuted along Paradise Bay in Disney California Adventure park.
The 17-minute show includes parts of 12 songs, such as “Camp Rock,” “High School Musical,” “Cheetah Girls One World” and “Jump In,” movies as well as T.V. shows “Shake It Up” and “Hannah Montana.”

Take a peek at this video that we shot on Friday.

Did you notice the water fountains shooting up in the air?

This is the first time a stage show is using the fountains from “World of Color” as a backdrop and an additional element for a daytime show. The fountains shoot up to 200 feet in the air and definitely amp up the fun.

“Disney Channel Rocks” is currently scheduled to run several times a day on most days. Check the schedule here on disneyland.com for daily updates and to see if the show is running on the day of your visit.
