Need Advice On 9 Yr Old Eating Cs

[Brook1099]

I Was Looking At Some Of The Cs Restaraunts And My Daughter Is Probably Going To Want The Adult Priced Meals. Pbandj And Hotdogs Are Not Her Thing It Doesnt Seem To Many Options For The Kids. Dinners Are Fine Because We Do A Lot Of Buffets.
We Will Probably Be Going To Pecos, Cosmic Rays, Flametree And Some Where In Epcot. Should I Change Her To Adult Or Just Buy Her Counter Services And Use Hers For Snacks If Thats Even Possible.

Are you on the DDP? I think your best option is to keep her as a kid on the DDP as long as most of your TS meals are the buffets and she likes the kid options on the non-buffet TS menus. It will be much cheaper to buy her the occasional adult CS meal OOP than to pay for her as an adult the whole trip on the DDP.

Do not move her to adult on the DDP the price diffence is crazy and the additioanl ticket price as well. What I did when DD was 9 was to get her the kids meal of her choice then supplement it with an a la carte item like a hotdog, burger,etc. We also used her CS credits at breakfast--mickey waffles and then I just paid OOP for an extra a la carte entree $4.00-$5.00 and we shared the fries--between the other 3 orders of fries and three desserts there was plenty of food for all of us without paying the increased ticket and DDP cost.

For kids,
Flame Tree has wings or a hot dog

Pecos lists a burger or a salad with chicken

Cosmic lists salad with chicken. chicken nuggets, or hot dog

Epcot has Chicken and cheese quesadilla in Mexico, no child's menu in Gernay so she could get the bratwurst, and The Land lists a make you own sub and a couple other unexpected choices.

allears might list a few different choices if their menus are more updated, but there are some alternatives to hot dogs and pb&j!
