One: If you are traveling and staying in the Disney area, food is going to be an issue for your MIL unless you have a suite and she orders in diet frozen dinners or something similar. Is there anyplace in Disneyland that serves low cal meals? Maybe at CA, but unless your MIL plans to leave the parks to eat, it will be a challenge.
Has she taken this into account and made plans for eating? Honestly, eating at the buffets, etc, won't be any less healthy. In fact, it may be her best bet for getting lean meats and salads.
Two: You might want to point out to her that while Disney is for families, the focus...or at least your focus...is on the kids. If you have cell phones or walkie-talkies, she can go her way and do her own thing and it won't be a problem to catch up with each other after meals. Or, if she wouldn't have to eat at all....
I'll be honest, this is one thing that drives me crazy. People assume that fat people have food at the center of their lives. I've found it to be that people who fear being fat are the ones who put food at the center of their lives!
