Hei Hei! I'm Bonnie Cribbs and I have lost over 100 pounds walking and eating at Disney World. I go to the parks a several days each week to get my steps in and I always take time to have some fun by jumping on a few rides while I'm there. I don't have time to wait in lines because I'm there to get my steps in!
One day it hit me that the system I use to get all the FastPasses I want (virtually when I want) is a secret ninja trick that most guests at Disney World do not know. That's why I created "ByPASS!" so I can share the love!
Before Moving To Disney World: Before packing up and moving to Celebration, FL (so I could be as close to Disney World as possible) I lived in Nashville, Tennessee where I worked for a magazine agency. I traveled with my job all the time and volunteered with a youth group. I always said those middle schoolers kept me young, while simultaneously reminding me that I was getting old!
Even living in Nashville, I found a way to come to Disney World about once a month before moving here. Through the years I've been lucky enough to stay at all of the resorts except Art of Animation. ...and yes, I seriously need to go stay there!
Living at Disney: Now I can officially say I live next to Disney! When I moved here I knew I needed to lose a LOT of weight. Life had gotten miserable and when I could not fit on Flight of Passage because I was too big I started walking at Disney World a few days a week just to get into shape. It's working!! ...I still have weight to lose, so I'm going to keep going to Disney World!
Part of my weight loss journey also includes eating at Disney. YES.... I lost weight eating at Disney several times each week. That's how I got really good at getting dining reservations on demand (who has time to plan six months out when you live here??). So be sure to check out my dining reservation tips, too.
