The Picky Eater Strategy
1. **Declare the trucks** — "Pick ANY truck, order ANYTHING" 2. **Set the rule** — "You have to order something, you don't have to eat it if you hate it" 3. **Let them choose** — Ownership = more likely to eat 4. **Acknowledge the win** — "Good trying this!" 5. **Keep safe option open** — Burgers exist at many trucks **Pro tip:** Kids eat more adventurously when they feel in control of their choice. **Related Guides:** - [Read our guide: Super Bowl 2026 Watch Party at World Food Trucks – Big Screen, Bigger Flavors](/blog/super-bowl-watch-party-2026-kissimmee) - [Read our guide: Car Shows at World Food Trucks: Where Rides Meet Eats](/blog/car-shows-kissimmee-world-food-trucks-2026) - [Read our guide: Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth: The Best Desserts at World Food Trucks](/blog/best-desserts-kissimmee-world-food-trucks)
