dining with the disney characters is one of the highlights of dining the Magic Kingdom. You can have breakfast, lunch and dinner with the disney princesses at Cinderellas royal Table or if you prefer Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods, dine at the crystal palace. Are Mickey and Minnie your faves? Then enjoy dinner with them at Liberty Tree Tavern. All of these restaurants are in great demand, so reservations are highly recommended. You can make reservations beginning 180 days in advance, and you should call 407-WDW-dine as soon as possible to assure a table on your preferred date. Yes, demand is great!

For other casual dining, you might also try the other table-service restaurants. Tonys Town Square Restaurant features classic Italian food with atmosphere inspired by the disney movie Lady and the Tramp. At the other end of Main Street, the plaza restaurant is a quiet stop for gourmet sandwiches. reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are possible.

For those of us who prefer more freedom, you can chose from four counter-service restaurants that feature full menus. My favorite is Pecos Bills Caf in Frontierland, where I love the burger toppings bar with grilled onions and mushrooms. The best variety is at Cosmic Rays Starlight Caf in Tomorrowland; you can choose from burgers, chicken, sandwiches and soup. Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square serves fried fish and chicken, chowder, chili and other sandwiches.

(The fifth counter-service restaurant is the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station, but it is frequently closed. Im staying away until the menu becomes more reliable.)

If that isnt enough and of course, it isnt! I love stopping for a snack at one of the 15 ick-bite shops. Here are my top three snack stops:

• Sleepy Hollow in Liberty Square for a funnel cake
• Aloha Island in Adventureland for a Dole Whip, soft-serve pineapple ice cream
• Caseys Corner on Main Street U.S.A. for corn-dog bites

The variety of dining options at the Magic Kingdom translates to a variety of prices. The character meals range from $40 for adults and $25 for children at Cinderellas royal Table to $28 for adults and $14 for children at crystal palace and Liberty Tree Tavern. meals at the other table-service restaurants are generally $15-20 for adult entrees. prices for counter-service meals are generally under $10 for adults and $6 for children. Snacks are typically under $5 per person, many are about $2.

If I could pick anywhere to have lunch, it would be sitting outside at Pecos Bills overlooking the Rivers of America, listening to the delighted screams of guests plunging down Splash Mountain, noshing a juicy hamburger.

Probably every doctor will tell you that there is no such thing as an automatic weight loss supplement and in a way, they are right. But did you know that you could lead a lifestyle that would make your weight loss automatic? Yes, there are ways to make your body burn fat faster and lose weight more rapidly.

1. Follow healthy dieting principles: This is your our best automatic weight loss supplement.

How you eat and when you eat affects the way your body processes food and stores fat. Everything from the timing of your meals, the size of the portions you eat, the phytonutrient index, the glycemic load, etc. all work together to determine how much weight you will lose. You should also try food substitution that is, replacing your unhealthy food with healthier alternatives without necessarily depriving yourself of the little cravings you love.

Do you often eat out? Then you are probably malnourished. most restaurants serve unhealthy dishes but that does not mean you cannot eat in them. If you feel that a dish contains foods that you should be avoiding, do not be shy and ask for substitutions. It is your right as a paying customer. You can order a crudits platter in place of the usual bread basket, for example. Choose a light drink and avoid the carbonated ones. These little changes will make weight loss automatic in just a matter of time.

2. Moving is also a great automatic weight loss supplement.

Moving does not only mean going to gym and hitting the treadmill for 30 minutes. Lets face itwho has time to do such things or a regular basis? Whats important is that you incorporate physical activity within your daily routine. This can be as simple as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. You can also leave earlier for work and walk instead of taking the cab or bus. Having lunch? Fight the urge to order in and instead stroll to the nearest restaurant. All these movement, when added up, hastens your metabolic rate and makes you lose weight automatically.

Marketing companies are constantly inventing new and expensive fads to help us exercise, lose weight and get healthy. But if were really going to get results, its probably just best to do more and more of the things we already enjoy. Frankly there arent any shortcuts to good health and fitness, the only real way to be healthy is through a good diet and good exercise.

To get results, we need to commit to a regular schedule, ideally we should be doing something every day if possible. But whatever our personal circumstances, I dont think theres a single one of us that doesnt find that difficult with so many demands on our time. Of all the choices of exercise available, yoga is perhaps the most versatile, allowing us to exercise almost anywhere, without the need for any special equipment we dont really even need a mat.

This means that we can exercise anytime morning to night, wherever we feel comfortable, at home, at work or in our hotel room when we travel.

For most of us, the limitation of yoga, is also one of its most important aspects. To practice properly, we have to know the postures, and the correct sequence to do them. But now we can all get our own private professional yoga instruction.

Ancient practices, modern technology

The latest technology now allows us to follow video based yoga instruction, without having to buy the videos or DVDs. Instead we can access a full library of videos online at the click of a mouse. Our high-speed computers can stream the videos over the internet to our homes or wherever else we want to practice.

Convenience and quality all the better for us

Having access to a range of different yoga routines and instructors gives us the benefits of going to class, without the hassle or its limitations. Online yoga classes give us:

• yoga instruction on demand so we can practice yoga according to our own schedules. Fit a session in before work, at lunch or in the evening theres no need to check your yoga center's class schedules.
• yoga wherever you are No need to fight traffic, pay for parking or even make a special trip to our yoga center. We can just practice at the click of our mouse, wherever we feel comfortable. Even our hotel room when you travel.
• Clear visual and audio instruction Using the same technology as the Hollywood movie studios, we can get full screen, High Definition (HD) quality streaming video online. We dont need to wait and we dont even need to waste electricity downloading the videos overnight. Its as convenient as putting on a dvd.
• More health improving yoga poses Having access to a library of online videos means we get a wide range of routines and a greater range of yoga poses and their unique benefits to your body and mind - just like you'd get in class.
• The highest quality yoga instruction - All yoga instructors have unique styles and quality standards. Don't let your development be limited by the instructors in your area, get access to yoga instruction like you've never experienced before.
