leftovers question

[Jenny]

our 2 yr old isn't a big eater - whenever possible we'll share our meals w/ her at WDW but i'm sure we'll order her kids' meals too - if she doesn't finish, do the restaurants have carry-out containers or should I bring a ziploc? is this ever done or this tacky & i shouldn't bother?

Sure they have carry out containers. Not a problem. I don't think they give containers at buffet dinners though. I am sure someone will know the answer on that one.

We've traveled with adults that have taken home about half of their meal. The restaurants had packaging, but you may want to carry a couple ziplocks just in case. Remember that during the summer, food can spoil very rapidly...if I were to get anything "take out" I'd make sure it got into a refrigerator very quickly.

leftovers are such a pain to mess with, we always figured in who would eat what and then had DH or I adjust our order so we could finish off one of the kids if necessary. I wouldn't suggest stressing over carryout containers at WDW--I can't imagine what would be that good that it would still taste and look presentable after time being carted and bumped around.
Happy Dining!!

We get carryout containers when we are staying in a DVC villa. Take it back and put it in the fridge and microwave it for lunch the next day. We only do it when we are returning to the room right after the meal. For example, we did our CP package after the show last month and were done about 9:30 and took the leftovers back to the room for lunch the next day. My Mom and I usually split big meals otherwise because it is too much food.

We take leftovers home often after dinner at WDW. They will place them in containers for you and put them in a plastic WDW bag to make carrying easier.

maybe then if we're at a restaurant w/ an a la carte menu & can't make room for dessert, we'll take it to go - as long as we're headed right back to the room & it's not really, really hot outside for our bus trip back to the hotel. thanks, good to know.
