The are just some food items in Disney I would give my right arm for. I have made this salad and dressing at home and it is very comparable. If I don't get it I won't be disappointed, just wanted the option I guess. I could always sit at the bar and order it too.......

I don't find this a strange idea at all. Maybe for certain hot meals...yes, but a salad would be a perfect take-out meal to bring back to your hotel. We did pizza at Ft. Wilderness way back when they had the best pizza on the planet , and more recently from Spoodles that used to be on the Boardwalk,(they had a pizza window, so I don't think that counts). We've taken desserts from the Main Street Bakery in the MK back to our room as well :mickey2:yum!

I don't think you'll be able to get a definitive answer before you go, since there's probably not a specific policy about this. Your response is going to depend on which cm you deal with and how busy they restaurant is at the time. If you're dedicated, you could do the work around suggested where you sit down, order, then leave with the salad.

When we tried in 2011, we were told no, more than once, even when I mentioned we had done it the year before. The CM seemed quite insistent that we wouldn't have been able to do that at all. I did ask several different CMs over the different days we were at EPCOT as it does seem that answers aren't always consistent from CM to CM, but in this case it was quite clear, no more to-go orders from Canada ~ at least on our trip So much for our friendly neighbors to the north

I remember about that time word got out on Disney sites that ordering to go was a way to eat Le Cellier when you couldn't get a reservation. What started out as something the CM could do to be nice to someone, probably turned into something that was requested constantly and they had to stop doing it.

Oh, I don't think we had known about it beforehand, we just thought we would ask and try. I can understand them not wanting to have people carry out whole meals, but a cup of soup doesn't seem so bad. I suppose it is easier to say no to everything than try to decide where to draw a line though.

I have a feeling they might have had to stop if they ran low on the soup for people dining in, since it would be something they couldn't start and have ready to serve in 5 mins (even though it may just be out of a bag), they would not want to make a seated guest angry and impact how much they spend.

Hmmmm. I can see the pros and cons on orders to go.... I lilke the idea!!
