Dining Plus~too much food?

[mar2728]

This morning I showed my 24 year old daughter some of the menus of the places that we (including her) have PS's for. She was shocked and dismayed because it was too much food (dining plus plan) She is worried that we (her parents) will be upset if she doesn't order dessert and/or appetizer for lunch and dinner since it is included.
Well its too late now but she got me wondering if these meals really do give you too much food. I know that I will want to get everything we paid for ...but we don't want to come home having gained a ton....we work so hard to keep it off (genetics you know!)
So is it an overwhelming amount of food when including desserts and appetizers for dinner? Will we not feel like continuing on with our evening but rather lying down for a nice long nap?????
I like the saying I read on here somewhere....when they said they lost TEN POUNDS because of all the walking they did at Disney and they gained 15 pounds from all the food!

There is no rule saying that you can't share a meal, keep that in mind. If we were to eat at the ESPN Club, for example, I would probably eat the appetizer, DH the meal and we would share the dessert and pay for an extra drink. We are having one signature meal during our stay, so by sharing at two of the other sit down meals, we make sure that we have enough table service credits for the entire stay, am I making sense?
For Example, for our five day stay, we get 10 table service credits, here are the table service meals we planned;
Night 1
Cape May 2 credits
Night 2
OHana 2 credits
Night 3
Beaches and Cream (sharing) one credit
Night 4
Yachtsman 4 credits
Night 5
Concourse Steakhouse (sharing) one credit
I plan on using all of our snacks for water and I am not sure what I will do about the snack at the counter service meals!

Yes, You are making sense. I had not thought about sharing an entire dinner. My two daughter's could most definitly do that and it would actually help pay for some of the meals I was figuring I would have to pay cash for!
Thanks alot!

Well, forget all my advice. I thought you were talking about the premium plan!

Sorry!
