Heigh-Ho Tracy,
Thank you for bringing your question to planDisney, we are a panel of Guests with a wealth of Disney knowledge and Disney travel experience which we love sharing with our Fellow Guests. One of the many reasons I love visiting
Walt Disney World is for the food and beverages. Here Guests can explore a cornucopia of flavors. But to explore the food and beverages, around Walt Disney World, doesn't necessarily mean partaking in full meals. In fact, I am lucky to have surrounded myself with family members and friends who love to share and more importantly budget. One such way is when dining at a table-service restaurant, which is not a buffet, I usually split a meal or share a plate with someone else. The servers are very accommodating and happy to fulfill your request. Some of the only times this is not an option, as you have noted, is at the buffets or family-style restaurants where Guests are charged per person.
So, enjoy your foodie and beverage adventure around Walt Disney World and may that rumbly in your tumbly be filled with some delectable choices.
Have a Practically Perfect Day,
Amy M.
