Dining Plan ?

[chevblazer02]

Alright I've read and searched the forum, I may just be blind, but got a quick question. With the TS meals, are there only a certain number of entrees you can get like in a certain price range or can you get things ranging from lets say for example $12.95 to $22.95? Just curious going to WDW Nov 7th-12th but want to be prepared...thanks

That's right-for entrees you can get either the $6.49 hot dog and fries at Beaches and Cream or the $31.99 twin lobster tails at Cap'n Jacks for the exact same 1 TS credit.

The only exceptions are some of the add-on's (I think Cape May has an option to add on crab legs; Spoodles used to have a grilled shrimp add-on), appetizers or desserts for two (Le Cellier has a cheese plate and a dessert sampler that are designed to share; Nine Dragons has a couple of 2 person appetizers), and a few menus have separate sections that aren't considered "appetizers," "entrees" or "desserts" (namely sushi at Wolfgang Puck's and the "accompaniments" at Tempura Kiku, which are also mostly sushi).

Really, though, the exceptions are few and far between, and you won't feel like you're required to order from a lesser menu at all. That was one of my concerns before we went, and I was very pleased to not encounter any issues.

That's something I was wondering about...since my husband and I are both on the dining plan and would each be using one TS credit for our meals, would we be able to order one appetizer or dessert that is meant for two and share it? Or would there be no way for the restaurant to ring that up? We have an ADR for the Grand Floridian Cafe, and they have a chocolate fondue dessert that sounds heavenly The menu says "great to share", so it kind of sounds like that's meant to be for 2 people, especially since the price is fairly high for dessert -- this site says it's 9.99 -- so I assume it's a pretty large portion. And 6 of the 8 appetizers listed on the menu here for Raglan Road say "for 2 people". If we couldn't order one to share on the plan, can we request them to prepare a half size portion for one? And then they could put both half portions on the same plate, we wouldn't care
