You sound like good candidates for the dining plan. Honestly, we have never thought the portions were small, but that's just our opinion. In fact, often times, DH and I will split entrees. Anyway, the dining plan will give you a choice of appetizer, entree and dessert at TS restaurants. As for TS places with larger portions, definitely consider buffets because you can eat until you feel like you are going to explode...haha. Whispering Canyon is a good choice too because of the all you can eat skillet. Hope this helps!!!
