They're not doing a good job at figuring out how much food they need because there's always a lot of food left over and you know what they have to do with it? I'm sure they'd rather have you stuff it in a cup, pocketbook etc, rather than having to deal with it afterwards
Using the small plates doesn't necessarily mean that people will eat less, it's just means more trips. But isn't that a good thing? Considering what you're doing, a little exorcise walking to the food tables between eating can't hurt.
I'm also wondering if they use tiny plates in an attempt to minimize how much food and plastic is thrown away. Disney has become very conscious about food waste. Guests are able to leave a lot more uneaten food on the bigger plates than on the smaller plates? At buffet events where the big plates are used, it's rack after rack of half eaten plates of food waiting to be scraped off into the trash.
But Disney wants to get your money again and delivering a good experience is the way to do it. There are a good number of return guests, so they must be doing something right.
I disagree with the first part, but agree with the second part.
