New Dining Options with a 2 year old

[GoofyforDisney3]

I have a question about the dinning option when you are traveling with a two year old. I know she would eat for "free" at the buffet restaurants, but how will it work with the sit down meals that has a menu to order from. I am assuming she would either eat off of our plates OR I could purchase a kids meal seperate for her. She is not a picky eater (most of the time ) , but some of the meals that are offered for dinner at a menu driven restaurant may not be her speed. Does anyone know how this might work?

You are rigt about buffets. You do not need to pay and they still eat. If you order at a sit down restaurant, you pay like you would for anyone else. Sometimes I ordered one meal for both of my kids and let them share. I find even the child portions are large enough for me, so it's way too much for them.

Most Disney restaurants will be able to get you a kid-friendly mac-n-cheese, chicken strips, hot dog, hamburger, french fries, etc.

A couple times I've ordered a side dish for my DD and then shared part of my (or DHs) main course. I've had great luck with that, getting some mashed potatoes or a veggie and then sharing something. Once both DDs were old enough for regular food we started splitting a kids meal for them. Most nights that is plenty of food (they are 2 & 4). I've never really worried about it being enough food, especially since if it is not we just order them dessert or share some of our meal. I've always been able to get some fresh cut fruit for them as dessert too, it isn't always a sugar treat. I've also asked for and received applesauce for them.
