I think that if you just ask for an extras clean plate to be brought to you at the table you can split your own entree for free. On this link, a poster tells about her experiance in 2006, when a waiter simply brought her a clean plate there was no charge. http://mousepad.mouseplanet.com/archive/index.php/t-60530.html With any luck you can get a more authoritative answer from someone else.

Originally Posted By sarahwithbaloo Thanks for that like I said I do'nt mind as I read their was veg or salad with it which the kids eat more than anything else anyway. We just like to prep our eating bugget roughly before we travel.
Originally Posted By MrDisneyGeek from the blue bayou in DL last November they charged to split out entree but it was nominal and they only split the actual entree (a Monte Cristo) and provided a full plating of the rest for the charge. our CM asked if we wanted that or just an extra plate for no charge. we opted for the extra sides as like I said it was a fairly nominal charge and it was the only in park dining we did. so you could probably go either way
