We have a difficult child as well, and I believe they were able to offer a bowl of plain pasta to him last year. We've been able to get similar simple offerings (rice, pasta, etc) at most of the nicer restaurants but YMMV.
Or grab something from quick service next door.

You should try contacting WDW special needs dining to ask. They used to have a direct phone number, but I don't know if it still works. I did find was the current email: SpecialDiets@DisneyWorld.com
They are generally fairly quick to respond.

There's no such thing as a kids' menu: it's a family-style meal. For the family. There are, of course, some allergen-friendly and vegetarian substitutions that can be made, but nothing that would qualify as "picky kid approved."
That being said, the normal menu includes kid-friendly foods like mac-and-cheese (which might mean there's plain pasta somewhere in the kitchen), mashed potatoes, fried chicken, and strawberry shortcake. Anecdotal reports online suggest that in the past, parents of picky kids could request items that were available over at Trail's End (an adjacent former TS restaurant, now a grab-and-go, which shares a kitchen with Hoop-Dee-Doo), which under their current menu would be something like an Uncrustables PB&J sandwich or some chicken nuggets, but I wouldn't assume that such substitutions are always available. If there's truly nothing on the Hoop-Dee-Doo Menu that your child would eat, consider feeding them ahead of time.
