Yes, you will walk a lot at Disney World. I have read tons of tips in books that suggest, if you aren't an active person, you should start walking a couple of months out to get used to how much you will walk when you're actually at The World. If you go "balls to the wall" like I do where you start at the time the rope drops and enjoy the extra magic hours all the way to close without a break, you better believe you're clocking some miles.
The last few trips, I was really interested in finding out just how much I was walking as I trekked around World Showcase at Epcot (it's supposed to be 1.1 miles). Which park required the most steps in a day? Was I really walking enough to work off the calories from that Mickey Bar? Did I walk enough steps that I didn't need to go to the resort's fitness center at the end of the day?
So, I decided to buy a pedometer and take it with me. I now take it almost every trip! It's fun to see the steps add up. So far, I think the most I've gotten in a day is around 30,000, which is about 10 miles. At first, it seemed like I surely walked more. I'm exhausted at the end of every day! But then, when I thought about it, I realized we're usually walking at a fairly slow pace--with the exception of the run we break into to get our fastpasses to Expedition Everest when Animal Kingdom opens. At a slow pace, walking ten miles would take FOREVER on a track!
This year I'm amping it up and am attempting to walk those ten miles in my Reebok Easy Tones. I can't wait to see if I can do it, and if my buns and thighs really burn at the end of the day!
If you enjoy walking, I encourage you to bring your pedometer along. Give everyone in your family one and have a walking contest. Winner gets a Dole Whip, Mickey Bar, or chocolate covered frozen banana...their choice! It might keep you walking in place while you're standing in those annoying lines!
After going through your contents I realize that this is the best of my knowledge as it provides the best information and suggestions. This is very helpful and share worthy. If you are looking for the best best pedometers for seniors then visit Seniors Bay. Keep sharing more.
