Food Price Flexibility

[GlobalDiva]

So, from what people say after their planning sessions, food choices are flexible. But if I have a particular dish that I love from one of the Disney restaurants and want to incorporate it as an appetizer or as my main course, how is the price adjusted worked?

It's just funny to me how a filet of fish for a wedding can cost over $70, but God knows I would never go to a restaurant and order a plate of tilapia for that price...

Of course, I'm perfectly aware that a wedding requires plating on a much bigger scale, many more servers, and more of everything compared to a restaurant, but I swear--as soon as a venue knows it's a party that involved a big white dress, there's like a 130% mark-up on everything

I'm pretty sure they can work your favorite dish into the reception menus. I do know if you are having the reception at a restaurant the menu is a bit less flexible: we are having our welcome dinner at the California Grill and their catering menu is pretty much set.

I believe that also includes an appetizer, a salad, rolls + butter, coffee, and tea (or at least that's what is on top of the plated menu options sent to us): we're going with the tilapia (which is why your comment jumped out at me) and the beef + lobster. The price to me seems less outrageous when I remind myself what it includes.
