I have been dying to do a calorie count for Disney World for so, so long, and was just able to get there with my FitBit this last week. The Fitbit is an awesome little tool that shows you steps taken in a day, stairs climbed, calories burned, miles traveled and a daily activity level. Everything is kept nice and pretty online for archiving and looking back.

We were at Disney World Epcot for about eight hours and managed to walk the World's Showcase, stand in a 45 minute line for the new Test Track ride, walk on to Finding Nemo, and watch some stellar dancing. For us, it was an average day at EPCOT with a bit more sitting in between.

By the time we got to Disney I had logged about 600 steps for the day and 0.2 miles... I tried to wear my FitbIt as little as possible before park time. We parked at Magic Kingdom first for our Sorcerers tickets, then took the tram over to EPCOT. While at EPCOT I walked about 15,000 steps and almost 7.00 miles. But, the thing that surprised me most was that I climbed 8 flights of stairs without even realizing it. That Disney incline is no joke. My calorie burn was a bit less than I was really really wishing for, but 1900 calories by walking around for a few hours is really not so bad.

The average daily calorie burn is a good thing to note about our seven hour Disney trip. Like most people, I rationalize eating a Disney treat or two because of all the extra walking/exercise I am getting in a day. Good to know that my extra exercise is really non-existent. Hopefully, this will curve my cravings for those delicious latte floats and Nutella sandwiches!
