We are planning on getting Kacee his own meal for lunch and then letting him eat off of our plates in the evening (other than at Cafe Mickey)

We are also planning to make use of the 'free' buffets for under 3 yr olds

Well folks, in all the Disney trips I have taken the kids on (since age 10 weeks), we have always let them graze off of our plates (or have their own free buffet) until they were at least three. There is always plenty of food and I do not know any kid under 5 who could eat a whole kids meal (talking table service here). My kids - age 5 and 3 tend to share as we have found ordering 2 kids meals a waste.

at the counter service we have ordered the family meals (pizza or bucket of chicken), or a selection of things for us all to share. It works out great.

i wish i could do that lol but me and ash dont share food. i guess i have passed on my food habits to her. i hate anyone touching my food and even if you cut food she doesnt want cut she wont eat it so sharing isnt an option. anyways i will be eating like steak, or burgers and she cant eat that

Ok, we're really different. We share everything, and my kids have been eating steak and burgers since they were 1!

Heck, my kids won't eat fish Fingers or Chicken Nuggets - give them a fillet, real fish or lobster and they will devour it.
