So been trying to work out how to handle high carbs as I’m on a Disney cruise (actually right now! :) ) and got a couple of coping mechanisms in place.

Sat in the restaurant as we speak and got a sinking feeling as they said they couldn’t give me specific carb numbers (so time to do calculations).

But they’ve gone one better. They are altering every course to make it low carb!

Might even be a bit lower than my usual evening meal.

Will watch my numbers and correct as needed but may need to munch a cookie rather than take insulin. :)

Wow how kind of them to consider your predicament. I watched a Disney Magic cruise ship leave the river Mersey last week by the way :D
 
Well done Disney! Your post has helped bring back my good opinion of them.
Have a wonderful cruise!
 
Brilliant! Well done to Disney! And am envious of the cruise!!
 
Hey all!

So back home and thought you might like an update.

The MDR (Main Dining Room) did their best but while the food was low in carbs it wasn't exactly inspiring. I can't blame them as they had hundreds of people to feed.

So we quickly decided to eat in the signature dining restaurant PALO, and they were amazing, we ate there most nights ant they made a different off menu item for me every night (they tended to be around a theme as they only had so many ingredients) that tasted amazing (If people want I can provide photos).

Again, they couldn't give me specific numbers but they kept it low carb and not once during the whole cruise did I need to do an adjustment bolas dose, just my usual basal dose in the morning and pills.

Can’t be the magic huh.

Holiday blues? Takes me weeks to get over the Disney grumps, I want to sit in the road and cry when we have to leave :)
