Well funny thing is we actually did just say "well, then I guess we are allergic to meatloaf and need an alternate option". The whole thing was so silly. That's when they came back without a chef and said we could just have the chicken.
The thing is they are making it harder on themselves, too. The pan with chicken in it was two steps away from the pan where the meatloaf was. They were making such a big deal about it but the food is all prepared and right there!!! My DH also points out that while we were happy to get the chicken, the $18.99 meal you get there includes three pieces. With the substitution we each only got one. Which is fine. We asked for the chicken and there is always a markup for a special event. But oh my goodness this one seemed extreme!
**editing to add, please don't think we were being mean to the Cast Members. Our son is a Cast Member so there is no way we would ever do that. It was the leaders of the location who were dealing with our request which we were handling respectfully. The front line CM's were giggling a little and rather agreed with us how crazy the one choice option was.
