Really?
I must have missed that thread. Any idea how this is achieved?

I always like the Sushi

Andrew's Cold Stone recipe can be found here:

As I said, I have no idea how accurate it is.

He does say "approximates". I'll give it a whirl.

I LOVE the candy at the Pooh shop but don't eat it. It is very pretty, though.

Unless it is prepackaged with nutrition information label, you won't get calorie information from DL. They have information on ingredients so you can avoid foods you are allergic to, but anything beyond that - you're on your own.

Best you can do is approximate based on information from similar food items.

Just to check that nutrition info isn't available, I tried calling Disney Dining. Nope. She actually transferred me to the park itself just in case they knew of how to get the info, but I sat on hold for so long I hung up. They wouldn't have known anyway, if DD didn't have it.

Interesting, I thought the law required all restaurants to have nutritional information available.

I don't know why I thought this, I just did.

MouseWife · 03-01-2006, 04:15 PM

Thanks you guys for checking and passing along that info to me.

Yes. I normally think "If it looks good, it must have a zillion calories." Or rather, if it is fried, chocolate, or covered in whipped cream.

I also thought that some places were supposed to divulge the content. I know Starbucks does. That is why I skip the whipped cream, go sugar free and it is either low fat or non-fat and get the tall. {is that the biggest one?} I figure I don't need the extra calories but I do need as much coffee as I can get.

And, I need to get back to what we used to do~the Hubster and I would order those dinners at White Water Snacks and split them. Those chicken sandwiches are huge!!

I thought this too. From a bit of searching it looks like it's not law, but many places do it anyway,especially fastfood joints. As people are starting to sue because they "didn't know the food was so bad for them"

it makes sense for them to make the info public.

As for Disneyland, they probably feel much less pressure to show that info. Disney Dining will tell you what foods fit into certain dietary reqs but they don't have all the itemized info. You can get the diestary lists from City Hall too.

Heheh, my sweetie and I also split meals at Whitewater. The sandwiches are huge, and yummy, too (the French Dip is the one we constantly make the bestest, cheapest DLR meal out of).

I am reminded by reading this thread that I don't hate everything inside Disneyland. I like most of the offerings at Carnation on Main Street. The.Pretty.Much.End.

Uva has the best twenty six dollar hamburger around! The Bleu Cheese Burger at Taste Pilot's in DCA pales in comparison, but is quite decent for a more hamburgery price.

Ah, the foods I miss: First and foremost - spicy, curly fries from the Harbor Galley in New Orleans Square. Next, the Carnation ice cream sandwiches from the pre-Nestle Days of ODV, when Carnation had an ice cream fountain joint on Main Street and ice cream service at Carnation Gardens in the Hub. Lastly, I miss the prepackaged, chemicalized goodness of the Ham&Cheese sandwich from Sunkist on Main Street.

Waaah, now I just wanna cry!

Why do I spend so much money on food at the place where I'm sick of everything to eat?
