While they loved the additional choices, the adult meals were definitely a waste of food as both the girls are small eaters. <br /><br />So now we share 2 meals between the 3 of us, and pay out of pocket. I imagine that in a couple of years their appetites will finally catch up with Disney's idea of their being adults and we'll need all 3 meals....but for now, out of pocket is cheaper even when the girls want Salmon (our fav) or steak (i.e. the expensive stuff). <br /><br />I think the best way for each family to decide this is to look at the menus and price out what their family would normally eat....and see if it adds up to cover the cost. For us, the other big thing besides portion size adult vs child, was that we don't normally eat dessert at every meal, nor do we drink soda (we ask for ice water at restaurants at home, no sense changing that choice just because we're at Disney). <br /><br />Pricing it out right now we find it cheaper to pay out of pocket for whatever we want...and not feeling we "must" eat things we wouldn't normally want. I know this will change for us as their appetite changes. Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011733553841744232noreply@blogger.com
