2 questions about food vouchers

[Tay N Evie's Mom]

I've just spent the last hour comparing the cost of the Quick & Casual voucher cost vs. the prices on wdwdig. Question #1) Some of the meals didn't specify they were a meal combo but stated that they included fries, chips, corn on the cob, etc. Would that count as your entree and side dish or would you still be able to choose another side because the entree already included fries, etc? Question #2) Neither DH or I are huge eaters, but I can't see how it would be possible to split the amount of food purchased on the food voucher between 2 people as some people have stated they have done. I would love to only have to spend $11.25 +extra drink on lunch for the 2 of us, but I don't want to spend my entire vacation eating fries and cookies and give DH the entree.

The answer to your first question is yes the fries count as your side dish (or corn or fruit).
If you order something like the double cheeseburger and cut it in half you will each be getting a regular hamburger minus half of the bun. You can effectively split some food items and not go hungry, but for many of the counter service places that serve traditional fast food you may be hard pressed to find that you are saving much or getting large portions.
My advise check the menus and decide if the entree is splitable otherwise plan on one voucher each.JMHO. We usually used two vouchers to feed four and supplemented with an extra drink and salad and did fine. I found that often we still threw out a bit of food.

A sandwich is easily splittable

And the double burgers are really quite large. You can get a double burger with bacon, fries (or carrots), a drink & a dessert with a voucher. It's not like a small mcdonalds burger. And if you go to the places with a toppings bar, you can add onions, mushrooms, cheese sauce, etc. It's a lot of food.

We usually ordered one large meal and a single order of something else, like chicken fingers with no fries (less $ than a meal but not usually listed on the menu) or a single burger no fries. Or a plain hotdog for DS (2). We'd split everything. Also, we are water drinkers & you can always get that for free!

At Beaches & Cream they will split your meal in the kitchen & bring it to you on 2 plates.
