Dining Plan for Picky Eaters

[Tink1024]

Is it worth getting a dining plan for a picky eater like my friend? She is more of a chicken fingers and fries kind of girl! Thoughts???

Well, I believe you have to buy it for every person in your reservation--an all or nothing thing. My sister is very picky--hamburgers plain and dry, only eats corn, potatoes, and green beans for veggies, etc. We used the dining plan on our family trip in December. I think she found something to eat everywhere we went, except one night we had reservations in Morocco at Epcot. She wasn't feeling well and didn't go with us that night. The other places that we ate TS were 'Ohana, Germany, Japan, and Spoodles. I think your friend should be able to find something almost anywhere.

I agree there is such a great variety that she will find things she likes. If you look over the dining menus you can make sure to visit places where she will like the food. Also the buffets are great for picky eaters. So yes I think the dining plan would be find for your friend.

Welcome Tink1024! It's nice to see another Rhode Islander here! Woot-woot from the northeast corner!
Anyway, the answer is if you & your friend are staying on the same reservation, then you both need to be on the same plan. The dining plan is tied to the number of nights you are staying at your resort, and your credits are determined by the number of people on the reservation.
Now, to the chicken finger issue:
Disney is quite prepared for guests like your friend, as many families have a chicken-finger only type of kid. The good news is practically any Disney restaurant will be willing to whip something up for a picky eater, so you can eat adventurously while she eats yet another strip of chicken. The even better news is that she may (I repeat "may") get so darned sick of chicken fingers and fries for lunch and dinner that after a couple of days she may be more inclined to branch out and try new things.
