Childrens menu question

[draybook]

Here's a quick question. My daughter will be 10 on our next trip and I know we have to include her as an adult on tickets and the dining plan. However, can she order from the kids men and have them use an adult credit for it, because she doesn't care for much of the stuff on the adult menus. Thanks in advance.

I can't see any problem with that

Yes. When on the dining plan, adults may order off the children's menu, but children cannot order off the adult's menu.

Couldn't you just not include her on the dining plan and pay out of pocket for her meals? It would surely be cheaper for you that way if you can. Does anyone know if the DDP works that way or do all family members have to be on it if one is?:shrug:

Everyone on a reservation has to be on the Dining Plan.

But what they *can* do on a per-meal basis, if their daughter wants to get a kid's meal instead of an adult meal, they can pay out-of-pocket for her kid's meal and save that credit to be used later. (Credits for a room are pooled and can be used by anyone in the room) If the OP is paying for the Dining Plan, it's quite a waste to be paying $40 a day for the daughter but only getting $17 worth of food for it... (That $17 is a kid's meal at Tony's Town Square, Cosmic Ray's and a snack)

They might also want to consider trying buffets, where their daughter can eat as much as she wants from both the kids and adult buffets.

wow, we have just the opposite problem, my kids have a gourmet palate already and dont like the standard mac n cheese, nuggets, etc.....so best thing we have found is to eat at the higher end buffets/family style like Boma, Ohana, Whispering canon, etc.

Try buffets, my kids love them...they get what they want.

Hi draybrook,

We just went through that on our past trip in Nov. with our daughter, I was really nervous and kept calling Dining and the actual location itself to talk to the management on how flexable they were. The place that we had "no" response was from Grand Floridian Café I called sevral times leaving messages and no call back, so we switched to the Parkfare 1900, since it was buffet.

The best experiance I had was at the AK Yak & Yeti, our waitress really took the time to talk to my daughter & find out what she really liked and it came to just plain fried rice nothing in it & steamed brocc.

One place we found not to our dd's liking was the Garden grill in Epcot, it was family style but she is not a beef eater & the turkey she did not like the cranberry's on top of it.

Other locations, what we did was ask if she could order off the childerns menu like chicken nuggets & the waiter/waitress said we have give it to us in a adult serving.

So we found that most places were pretty accomidating. Also we just stuck to most places that seemed family friendly or was a buffet since she could pick what she liked.

I hope this helps.
