One previous poster touched on something I always think about whenever I see any type of "food sharing" thread.
Often times it has nothing to do with wanting to "cheat" Disney, but more that there are lots of us out there that simply don't want to waste food! I cringe at throwing away a huge portion of a meal. I've never asked for a second bun or anything, but as I am a light eater (especially in Disney heat) and my tiny 4yo is full after three bites, I have no problem sharing with her or sharing one meal between my 4 and 7 yer olds for no other reason that to cut down on waste. I'm also not a soda drinker and my kids are allowed only non-caffinated and only once in a while as a treat, so sharing that is a no brainer for us as well.
In the end Dis still gets plenty of our money. Even with the dining plan there is still more than enough oop spending on treats and extras during the day.
Oh, and on another note, as someone with a lot of food service experience, Disney pays about 3 cents for each $3 soda you buy...they aren't hurting. Itr's a well known fact that the #1 money maker in any fast food situation is the soda. Virtually pure profit.
