Eating lightly in sit down restaurants

[gailelle]

I am wondering if it is possible to order just an appetizer and salad in some of the sit down restaurants, not including the more upscale ones. Is there a minimum cover charge? Is light eating frowned upon? Which restaurant would work best? I like to dine with table service, but can't eat heavy meals three times a day. Thanks for any advice. Gailelle

Of course you can order lightly! Appetizer, salad, soup, whatever. No one will say anything. Portion sizes are huge at Disney. Don't know of any cover charges in the park restaurants. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here.

you can split a meal with someone, which is what dd and I do a lot at sitdowns.

Sometimes, I will just order soup and an extra plate. DD will give me a third of her entree which is all I usually need to be happy.

If you are going in the summertime in Fl, it's ttooo hot to eat big meals.

Not only do DH and I split entrees, we salad and appetizer also!!

And split desserts..... nobody says anything- in fact, a good part of the time they offer to split it in the kitchen.

Have a great trip!!!

Splitting courses is a great idea and a good way to be able to try everything you want, too. Be prepared at the finer restaurants though- you might have a charge for splitting or extra plates.

We have never had a problem just ordering appetizers, salad and dessert at any of the sitdowns, since so many of the entree's are huge we share all the time. One of my favorite meals is Caesar salad and seared scallops at Le Cellier, another is the Salad Nicoise and Creme Brulee at Chefs de France.

The only restaurant that posts a plate sharing charge is Shula's.

We split an entree at the NYC Shula's though, and weren't charged the fee.
