Question about splitting meals...

[capenor]

I keep seeing in various places that this is a good way to save $$; of course that's great but I'm wondering if it's something that the servers at sit-down restaurants are used to, or if this is only for counter service.....I'm close to 7m pregnant and while I eat all the time, I can't eat a lot at any one sitting (heartburn issues), so I was thinking I might be able to do this for some dinners/lunches (eating off DH's and DD's plates and just ordering something small/a side for myself), but I don't want to be looked at as if I have two heads.....

Thanks for your opinions.

We split at every table service we ate at, and we had not one server blink an eye. They all split the meals in the back for us, even, and were very gracious.

Of course we still tipped like we had both ordered meals, since the work was the same, but no one will give you a hard time.

We've done this before without a problem. We usually split an entree and dessert, and sometimes and appetizer, too.

I think the only place that you must pay for an actual meal is at the Buffets. I know this might seem like it should be known, but I wanted to add that even people that have had gastric bypass, and can only eat very small amounts must pay (sometimes a child's meal) for a meal. But anywhere else you can split, have fun

At the Kona cafe in the Poly, the server realised we were British and actually suggested we split a breakfast between us as the portion sizes may be too large. We already knew and had planned to do this anyway, but I thought it was great that he wasn't just trying to make some money for Disney by selling us a breakfast each.

We have split meals several times in sit-downs and never had a problem.I think it must be a frequent occurence because I never had to ask for extra plates, et al.
