The problem isn't price fixed, I guess it is for some. The meals are treated like a catering order. My understanding is some meals aren't even prepared in the restaurant but are just heated. Makes it harder to ask for an entree sized serving of an appetizer. Asking for change to a menu item. Some of the posters who have issues with price fixed could better cope if the items could be made to order and delete items that are issue, nuts for example.I'm not a fan either. Aside from allergies and preferences being thrown out the window, feels like I'm at a wedding banquet. Mass produced, expensive, not great. Will not be eating as many TS meals this trip.
Disney uses loopholes to avoid having to furnish calorie information on the menu. Disney won't even supply carb counts of menu items if you request it in advance from disability services. Absolutely no reason why diabetics should have to estimate carbs.I sympathize with those with allergies. As a diabetic, I see the same issue... I have to commit to a prix fix price and hope that my needs will be accommodated. For me that is switching out the boatload of carbs and sugars. the newer menus don't look that promising.
It may just be my imagination... or my increasing grumpiness on the subject, which I'll admit... but I never used to find this such an issue!
Disney could solve "the problem" by requiring a minimum food order, charging a per head cover charge or going with a price fixed meal. I suspect the price fixed meal generates few complaints.
