? on dining at WDW with special needs

[juliesue]

I am going to be having stomach surgery soon, and will not be able to eat much food afterwards. In fact, it will probably only amount to about 10 bites at each meal.

How do those with small appetites deal with the huge quantities of food? How do the restaurants feel about sharing meals? Do they allow you to order smaller portions for a lesser charge?

Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if you can order smaller portions - it would be worth asking as it might be different at each place. Most places should be fine with you sharing a meal, though. Some food stalls, like the crepe stall in France, might work for some meals. You might also consider things like having an appetizer instead of an entree, though. There is a wide selection across WDW - salads, meats, fish, veggies, etc - as far as what goes into the appetizers and it's likely to be a cheaper option in some places. Not to mention that a lot of those appetizers look darn yummy!

Thanks, that was something I'd considered.

You might want to do a search on this, I know there have been other posts with people having similar conditions.

Enjoy your trip!

I would suggest you go to the "disABILTIES" forum. This and other dietary items are often discussed there, and the index is not as crowded as this forum.

Some restaurants will allow you to order a half portion of certain entrees. Not all do, and it's not for all entrees.

As others have suggested, there are a huge variety of tasty appetizers that are different from the usual greasy pub grub variety.

Jiko would be an EXCELLENT option for appetizers, as well as Citrico's.
