Can we share?

[PartyofSix]

My husband 36, me 35, two sweet daugthers both 4. We are coming down for a short trip of four nights. I have looked thru the menu's and it seems like you get a lot of food at these sit down meals. My husband and I both watch our weight and enjoy sharing an occasional meal out of town. We snack on vacations quite a bit. And i know my girls are going to munch on an entire kids pizza themsleves. Is sharing allowed and how do we handle asking for plates? I don't care if they charge us extra but there is no sense in wasting that much food or money for that matter. I can't think we'd do this every meal but i know like at Tony's the portions are huge and Whispering canyon any adivse for a newbie? Thanks

You can share your meals. Just tell the server that you're splitting and they'll even divide it in the kitchen for you.

We did this at Le Celleir because we both wanted the soup and the caesar salad, so we just shared the filet and each had dessert. Our server acted like it was nothing new to her. We did have to do the splitting, but she brought an extra plate for us. I can't see wasting food either, and when you're on vaction and have no where to keep the leftovers, I'd rather share!!

Thanks i feel much better now. If we do share i always leave a nice tip i don't want them to think it's cause we did'nt want to pay for the extra plate instead of wasting the food.

Is it acceptable to share at the character buffetts? Or does each person have to buy the buffett. I'm not big on buffetts for the reason's stated above and not a breakfast eater. I was thinking of booking Ohana's for breakfast or CP.

No. You can't share on buffets. However, if you have a child under three they can eat for free with you at the buffets.

At least this is my understanding.

we share 80% of the time for the same reasons and never have aproblem but do tip more since they are still waiting on 2 people. RFC (ak) Lecel.,& others didn't split our food for us in the kitchen but BD and beaches did which was really nice. at RFC they knew we were spliting but we had to ask twice for a second plate, never got it and ended up using the appe one they hadn't removed yet but think that was just the waitress as she was a little goofy

My DD and I shared at the Whispering Canyon last October. We had the fried chicken meal--3 pieces of chicken, corn on the cob, fries, and baked beans!! We had plenty for the two of us. We then shared a dessert afterwards. The waitress didn't blink an eye.

Thank you all so much for your insight.
