Smaller servings for solos

[Claudia Kellenberger]

I will be going to WDW solo in December. ( My 6th solo ) I have found that I waste a lot of food and snacks because I really need the smaller portions.
I wanted a beaver tail with apples on it so bad, but I threw out half of it because I was just getting too full. Also, I finally found the caramel popcorn at Sleepy Hollow at the MK, but the smallest size that they had was a huge bucket. I knew that I would only eat a quarter of the popcorn, so I did not buy it at all. AND I really wanted to try that caramel popcorn ! Do you think I could get smaller, or half size snacks at these places ? If I over eat,
I tend to feel sick all evening, and I just don't want that on vacation !
The only time I allow myself to over eat a bit is the buffet breakfasts.
Any suggestions ?

Thanks So Much !

Often you can get half portions of various menu items at the table service resturants, just ask your server.

Also look at child portions, we've had good luck in ordering child portions for adults, they don't include the drink and dessert, and you are chrged the same as a child would be, but some places offer one or two of the items on the adult menu in child sized portions.

Well, at least you won't be tempted by the beaver tails anymore! They are a thing of the past.

It is such a shame the Beaver Tails aren't there anymore !

Boy,do I understand your dilema! I feel exactly the same way when I go solo, and often wondered about this. The only thing I've found that somewhat helps sometimes is to always carry ziploc bags. If you're going back to your room and refrigerator (or in December, the air itself is often cool enough to feel like a refrigerator), instant left-overs! That's one reason why I love the DVC villas-refrigerators for saving and microwave ovens for reheating. But if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them too!
