All good ideas. I don't mind eating breakfast bars or cereal in the room but I refuse to carry food into the park. It *is* vacation and a huge part of that for our family is all of the wonderful restaurants and yummy snacks they have at Disney. We do bring one bottle of water each into the parks (which can be refilled as you go along - add flavor packets if you need to), then what I would do is choose a late breakfast buffet or a lunch at a table service and eat your fill. Have a snack later in the day and then you can grab takeout off-site on your way or make a sandwich when you get back to your off-site room.
If you're eating counter service, Disney portions are large... you can share, and then if still hungry grab something else at another place or an extra snack. And, if you have adults who are not large eaters I've never seen them mind if you order from the children's menu. If you're eating at a table service place and it's not a buffet or being served family style, you are welcome to share.
Hope this helps!
If you are eating counter service, be aware that you can order things without fries. Most places don't have just a hamburger/sandwich listed on their menu. It is almost always listed as a hamburger/sandwich and fries. If you think you will have enough fries to share, you can order just a hamburger/sandwich and they will take some money off.

If you are going to Animal Kingdom, a meal at Flame Tree BBQ is definitely sharable.
The McDonald's and Earl of Sandwich at Downtown Disney have free refills on beverages

Are there free refills at any of the parks... in any of the counter service restaurants? I read (somewhere???) that you can get free refills at the Sunshine Seasons counter in Epcot. Does anyone know if this is true? When I was there in February, I did see a couple of people refilling their cups, but I wasn't sure if it was an ok thing to do.

One other thing, DH and I always share counter service meals. Most portions are huge - espeically at Cosmic Ray's
where you can build your own burger, ect. This way we save money and don't over eat. Also, this give DH room for
snacks from Mrs. Pott's. He is obsessed with that place. I, on the other hand, prefer Dole whips.

Also, don't forget to make some ADRs if you'll be doing any of your meals in the parks at a Table Service/Sit Down restaurant before you leave!!
Something else to consider if you're doing the table service route for your meal in the parks....do a lunch instead of a dinner...it will be cheaper & a nice break in the hot day for you guys!
Have a great trip & welcome to SR!!
