I have one big hope

[LindaBabe]

That Disney doesn't decide to legislate a very limited number of supposedly 'healthy' items on the adult menu! I've been reading the kids menu thread, and believe me, if those were my only choices, I would NOT be a happy camper. I do NOT want to diet or even just eat healthy - every meal at WDW - I do that sufficiently at home. In fact, they can make my dream come true, if they'll just bring back the DOVE mickey bars!

It won't happen. As has been said elsewhere in that thread, kids meals are a loss-leader, or at least, a very, very low profit option for Disney. It's in their interests to limit their spending on them, and minimise their losses. Though actually, I believe the changes are less to do with money, and more to do with the general sweep towards healthier eating in the Western world. Disney are (mistakenly, I think) trying to appeal to those people who have been so affected by 'Supersize Me' and it's ilk. My suspicion is that Disney hasn't clicked that there's a big difference between what choices people wants their kids to be faced with in Mickey Dees every week, and those that are acceptable on vacation.

All that said, they're unlikely to make similar changes for adults. For one, there are already healthy options on most menus for adults. For another, as adults are paying far more, they expect to be able to eat what they like, and not what is forced upon them. It'd be a crazy business decision to limit adult menus ina similar way.
