If not on DDP will I pay Adult price for my 10 yr old daughter at Buffet? - The DIS Discussion Forums

alldiz · 11-11-2012, 02:58 PM

Hi,
I'm planning ADR's and my DD want to go to Biergarten and Chef Mickeys. She eats 2 ounces of food....it will kill me to pay Adult price for her. I will be using my 20 percent off DDE card?
Thanks

Yes they will ask for her age and she will be charged for an adult price. The buffets are priced by age. 3-9 child 10 and up adult.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Oh boy that is terrible

If she doesnt eat that much just tell them she's 9

At most non-buffet/non-family style meals, it won't be a problem for a 10 year old to order off the kids' menu. There may be a few exceptions though. At most of the non-buffet restuarants, they probably won't even ask your DD's age.

A child that age is very aware of teaching them to lie if it's a *convenient* thing to do. It could back fire. Sometimes the wait staff, just being nice and friendly to a child will ask something about their birth date, etc. The child could very well say that really I'm 10, but my mom told me I'm 9 for this meal. Children can be so innocently honest - should teach parents a lesson

I was going to say that too but wasn't sure if I would get my head bitten off.

alldiz · 11-11-2012, 03:24 PM

I hear ya....might have to

She dosent even eat enough for the child prices

If I do i wont feel bad cause we go to WDW frequent and eat mostly at table service....so they are getting plenty of money. This is the 1st time she is going at 10yr old though....** Vay that is crazy to charge adult price at that age

AllisonLeigh · 11-11-2012, 03:27 PM

So if your daughter overhears you lying, you're cool with that?

alldiz · 11-11-2012, 03:34 PM

no....she looks very young....maybe they wont even ask....they never have before.

kellietony · 11-11-2012, 03:44 PM

My son will also be 9 again this year. As a matter of fact, he knows that to be his answer if asked. And I have no problem with that. I think 10 is too young. It should be 12 or 13.

Sometimes you cannot order off the child's menu if you are not nine or under. Sometimes they may let you, but they may also charge you an adult price for that meal. However, buffets have set prices based on the age of the guest. Most buffets offer more than just food for the price, so you are also paying for the entertainment. And if you choose not to pay the price, you can always dine elsewhere.
