DP Adult/Child Question?

[robin714]

Hi all,
Were going in 2 weeks and have 2 adults and 2 teens, a 13yo and a 15yo..In looking at some of the menu's that I have dinner reservations at. I think my kids might want something off of the kid's menu. My question is can they order off the kids Menu if they are on the adult DP...Were not paying much attention to the prices of everything and making sure we get our value for the money. Were just going to let them order whatever they want but I'm afraid that might include the kid's menu.
Thanks for your help

Your kids like hot dogs, mac and cheese, and sugar free jello that much?

I'm sure they will allow you, but once you think this out I don't think you'll want to.

There are other options than last poster stated. However, my concern would be portion size and your kid's ages. Salads are literally less than 1 cup. The sundaes are one small scoop. Look closer at the appetizers for your kids and then the entrees. Plan you counter services more towards their "kid tastes". Let them look at the menus and ask them if they like it. Or go with buffets which will have pizza, chicken nuggets etc... and they can fill up. I think they would walk away hungry if they get the children's meals

Yes, they can 100% order off both menus. They even allow adults to do that so I'm told.

We are going to Narcoossee's on Saturday and I want the "make your own smore's" dessert- It's a kids dessert and I'm 27 :)

For table service, they might get hungry though since the portion sizes are smaller. What I would do is try to find either an appy or salad that they would eat on the adult menu, and then order a kiddie main dish. That should help with filling them up.

Also, don't be afraid to order things plain. If your child doesn't like "peppercorn red wine reduction" with their steak, get it without. If you want sauces on the side, they will do it.
