Buffet Menus

[imnotaprincess]

Hi Everyone -

Our planning session is at the end of the month, and we're pouring over our menus, and were curious what everyone had. I have heard so many things that people have had, but they aren't on the menu.

I know this is Disney and the options are endless...but what have you all dreamed up? What can we put down that wasn't on the "list"?

All help is greatly appreciated!

We're vegetarians, and everyone in my family is allergic to something random, so we gave Disney the list of nos, and they came up with Asian salad with tofu and edamame, risotto cakes with kalamata olives and artichoke hearts, and penne pasta with artichoke olive oil and julienned vegetables as meat substitutes. I'm not actually a huge fan of either artichokes or kalamata olives, but everything was amazingly delicious. We're still having stuff on the standard menu (roasted potatoes, Mickey roni 'n cheese), which makes for a lot of food. I'm sure that Disney can make anything you want.

That helps in a HUGE way. Now, where did you get those base menus? It's not one of the "standard" ones I received. It appears we're on the right track!

The food sounds awesome by the way!

That menu came from MagicalKingdoms It's pretty good. Magicalkingdoms.com has some great information. Go to the weddings link and then you can get pretty much anyhwhere.

Hope that helps!
