Miles and Miles of Magic: The Results

As I said before my trip to Disney, I would be wearing a pedometer for the trip and calculating how many miles I walk every day.  This worked for the most part, but I did run into a couple problems. There were a couple days that my pedometer was not working so well, but luckily my sister had a back up pedometer to help me keep track of the steps. I was surprised at the lengths, they were less than I thought they would be. 

Here are my approximate totals for the trip (All numbers rounded to the nearest whole number):

Sunday - Driving/Hollywood Studios/Downtown Disney - 3 miles
Monday- Animal Kingdom/Resort Hopping/Magic Kingdom- 5 miles
Tuesday- Hollywood Studios - 3 miles
Wednesday- Blizzard Beach/Resort Hopping/Downtown Disney- 3 miles (Miles not including Blizzard Beach)
Thursday - Magic Kingdom - 5 Miles
Friday - Epcot - 5 Miles
 
Total - about 24 Miles

I definitely think that I will be tracking the miles I walk on my next trip to see if they differ or not from this trip, I thought I would have walked a lot more than this in Disney. Maybe it just feels like a lot more.  I would be interested to hear from you; Have you ever tracked your miles that you walked in Disney? What was your results? Feel free to comment below and let me know!

Miles and Miles of Magic

I have joined this website called dailymile.com in order to help myself get motivated to work out and get healthy! It is a great website that allows you to meet other active people and help each other to work towards a goal.  I am signed up as a walker mainly, I am able log the miles that I walk throughout the day and during exercises.

I thought about how I could log the miles I walk during the week of my vacation in Disney, since there is OH so much walking there! I went out to the store and bought a pedometer. I have tested it out around the house and it is pretty accurate, so I will be using it during my days in Walt Disney World to see how much I walk. I have talked to some people who have used a pedometer on their trips before and the were surprised at how much walking you actually do! So throughout my trip, I will log the amount of steps I take and when I return, I will share here on the blog. I think it will be quite an interesting experiment!
