as a former fatty I support this message but I was just fat, I was still walking. I lost 130 pounds and I am in better shape than I was when I was 22 and newly married. I hate I wasted my young adult hood being a fat arse. It took me the better part of two years to get where I am. Its harder now than losing the weight originally.

I also came to realize I will never ride the toy story ride. Two years+ later and still 2-hour wait times. Oh well.
If you get to Hollywood Studios for 8:30 on a 9 am non extra magic hour opening day, you will be able to walk on with virtually no wait if you head there directly.
Arriving before park opening is critical now with the new FP+ to be able to get in some of the headliners with a small or no wait.

Had a 3:35 for Mama Melrose (kids like Italian and you get the Fantasmic VIP) showed up at 3:20. Given pager. Pager buzzed at 3:55.
Actually it was pretty decent, and I had disney points on my credit card so the meal was free.
Actually brought food into the park for snacks. Other than the $200 photo card, I think we spent less than $30 all day. Pretzels and drinks and an Ethiopian beer for me.
Oh, I'm still doing good on planning, I just don't like the fastpass limits. I'm a park hopper. We did three yesterday, but plan on doing just MK Tuesday.

That is ridiculous.
It's only that persons fault for being fat.
Yes and no. It is, but it's also a sever lack of options that are healthy to that which sucks balls. Then there's the grocery store aisles littered with bullshite products geared toward half arse quick preservative ridden BS, and America's cooking amnesia. It's a system that is set in place that has trained us to be more dependent upon BS food than doing things right and with health in mind, even that which markets itself as healthy often times being horseshite marketing.
The real problem is ignorance, and with our society today that doesn't have time or desire to actually cook and eat properly it's trained behavior.
Kid comes home from school, moms busy, here's a hot pocket. Mom eats a super healthy mayo tuna sandwich from Subway, thinking its good for her when it has more fat than anything on the menu and on a sugary baguette and some lettuce with all the nutrition of cardboard. dad gets a burger and fries from Whataburger, and brings junior some amazing half ammonia washed meat and half mystery filler Tacos from Taco Hell, and everyone sits behind the TV to get some relaxation in their lives. It's bullshite food and bullshite lifestyles geared toward buying "stuff" and putting "stuff" in our mouths, and were happy.
You're right that it is the person, and more important than ever to have cooking skills and make better more informed choices on food rather than blind faith in marketing horseshite and quick answers, but it's also a system in place for a long time now that's taking it's toll on our bodies.
We are too busy to cook well, eat right, and sit at the dinner table together, but not too busy to plop ourselves on the couch to watch TV.

That happened to me at Coral Reef...haven't been back. I like Mama Melrose too for the dining package (the best option I think), but yeah the wait and the small waiting area is annoying.

Yeah, we bring food just about every day. We will do usually one sit-down meal a day and breakfast in the room then eat what we bring and snack throughout the parks.
If you haven't tried Tusker House (Animal Kingdom) lunch yet, its by far the nest buffet in our opinion. I mean, the foot is still buffet, but character meal, good drinks from the Dawa Bar and alot of available seating.

My wife was diagnosed with cancer in December and has had 2 surgeries and is somewhat weak and cannot walk long distances. She begins radiation next Monday so we wanted to bring the kids before she starts that.
Anyway, she had to rent a scooter, but looks somewhat normal. It sucks because people look at her like she's abusing the system.
I made her sit on a bench yesterday while I rode around Epcot buying beer at various stands and then jumping on my scooter and riding away into the sunset. You should have seen the looks I was getting

Laziness too.
If people avoided the center aisles except for paper products and dry goods like grains, rice, pasta, etc, and focused almost all of their attention on the outside walls of the grocery store, we would all be better off, but that also takes cooking knowledge and a small amount of ambition or desire to cook food and eat properly.
And look, these days, just because it's on the outside aisles doesn't make it a smart buy, but it is much smarter than the center aisle nonsense.

Cooking ignorance is also a huge contributor to all of this. People are just plain ignorant of how to make things taste really good and not slow cooking shite in fat. They don't want vegetables, and the focus is almost always on the protein first and foremost, and then the carbs, and maybe some silly canned shite if they're lucky.
A really good example of the ignorance in food and cooking can be found when you see people at the checkout with frozen green beans rather than the fresh green beans in the produce section because it's in season. They don't know any better. Or buying canned tomatoes for a sauce when there are fresh tomatoes in the produce section to make your sauce with. Tell them they can quite easily make a sauce in no time flat from the fresh tomatoes, and they think you must be pulling their leg or some magician. Again... They don't know much about food or how to pull off basic shite like making a tomato sauce. Our grandmothers and before knew this shite, and when you should buy canned and when you buy fresh, but not this society. We have become dumbfounded in cooking and food, and programmed to think its beyond our abilities or time, and by whom? Well, by the half assed marketing artists that convince us we need their half assed products to reheat and eat no doubt.

I agree in many ways. I can feed a family for a week for under $100 nwith unhealthy food. With healthy fod it takes much much more.
I eat a ton of fresh veggies now and have been cutting back. I'm fat though, not lazy fat. I jog, run and and am in okay shape. I will never use a scooter. I do worry about my BP and Sugar.
But mst americans just seem to not give a shite.

I'd say you can feed people better and cheaper by cooking the food, planning, and freezing, as well as utilizing things to their fullest.
For instance, chicken broth. Quite easily made at home, ridiculously better tasting and better for you, but most people don't know how to pull this simple task off or why it makes things far better in flavor. Bread is another... One of the easiest and most rudimentary human things to cook, and people think they need a bread maker and some enormous amount of time to do it. It's super easy, much better for you, tastes better, and incredibly cheap to buying bread in the grocery store. It can be frozen, or lasts in the fridge for a week.
Lots of things we do and think about we can do in house, save a shite ton of money, and eat much better without the preservatives, the sugar were trained to believe is what makes it taste good, and you get the pleasure of doing it yourself, and instilling these same values and passing the skill set on to your kids as bonus.

Haven't been to Disney in a while, but do they still allow fat scooters (and their entire family) to skip to the front of the bus lines?
That shite burned my arse up.

They let the scooter and up to 5 members of the group go to the front.

If you can walk your fat arse to the buffet then don't clog up the walkways and the lines with your scooters.
Just wait, in 10 years I predict that the buses will only have about 10 seats in the front, then about 15 parking spots in the back.

We paid for a private Disney tour guide... the guide will come and get us at the Floridian suites. We get private breakfast, lunch, dinner with characters my kids picked. We planned with the tour guide the rides that we wanted for that day and went straight to the rides with no waiting. Even took us underneath Disney to all the tunnels....
I really think your full of shite , we were going to do the tour thing a few years ago where we we went underneath Disney , and to go on that tour you have to be 14 or older....
and if you say your kids are older well that is pathetic for them to want to eat with the characters....
nice try , hope you enjoy the all star resort...

A private tour guide is different than the behind the scenes tour you are talking about and more expensive. The private tour guide is where you get someone for the entire day (I think you can do it hourly as well) and get to skip lines on rides and shite. It's what rich people use to do before hiring disabled people.
VIP services

That's for that tour, not the VIP services. The guide came to his hotel room, he didn't do the keys to the kingdom tour, he had a VIP guide....
