Dining question

[sherbet]

When you are on the Deluxe plan you also get a starter.Does that include the soups and salads? Also i see that most of the steaks and such have sauces, do they mind if you say just plain? What about substituting mashed potatoes for fries? Im taking 3 teenagers with me and am longing to try all the restaurants but they only like plain so am wondering how we could get around this . THanks

Yes, except for entree salads. Some places might even let you get sushi.

I've hear a lot of folks report success ordering steaks without sauces.

What about substituting mashed potatoes for fries?

In general, subbing one dish's sides for another is typically allowed. You probably can't go "off the menu", so for the example above, you couldn't sub in mashed potatoes if the restaurant doesn't normally serve them.

Suggestion: Ask for the sauces on the side. This will allow them to try a bite or two with the sauce without having to commit to the entire entree until they decide whether or not they like it that way.

Thanks, thats just what i wanted to hear !! Now we can go to some signature restaurants and they wont be moaning about the menu!

I feel your pain!

I have two very picky teenaged sons and they had no trouble getting sauce on the side when ordering steaks. We also found that most places were very willing to substitue one side for another (usually fries for the potato). Have fun!

As others have said, our experience is that substituting is not an issue as long as it is on the menu.

Yes Disney charges a lot but they are also very accommodating.
