Geyser Point menu questions

[Simba's Mom]

First, when I go there, I'll be solo and I have a small appetite, so I'm wondering if something from the "small plates" might be suitable for me. I don't know what "small plates" mean-are they appetizer size? Or I might get the grilled portobello salad w/citrus dressing. I'm not vegan, but I don't like goat cheese (the other choice). And the dessert menu says "seasonal pies". This is what really caught my eye. I LOVE pie, and I haven't found anywhere at WDW where I can find a slice of pie. What do they usually have? I love almost any kind of pie, except mince meat-my mother's Thanksgiving tradition. And is there a busy time during the day? Last time I was tempted to go there, it wasn't busy, but it was also in the low 40s, drizzly, not the type of weather that tempted me, or anyone else, to eat there that day. I felt so bad for the CMs standing in the open doorway with menus.

I was there at about 6:30 PM on a Friday in July and waited maybe 20-25 minutes to be seated. I had the salmon croquettes and the edamame from the small plates menu, and it was a nice smaller meal - I think there were five croquettes (maybe ping pong to golf ball sized) and a good sized bowl of edamame.

Thanks! So it sounds as if small plates are really about appetizer size. I have ordered soup and salad (2 appetizers) several times as my meal.
