Child vs Adult meal plan - date of purchase or date of trip

Flame me if you must, but that close to his birthday? I would have registered him as a 9 year old on the reservation at the beginning. Problem solved. Master Mickey doesnt need that extra revenue. Honestly.

And that would be stealing. Honestly.

...Second: OP should not pay for that 10 year old as an adult. Disney isn't going to ask for verification, and if that child is happily eating off the child's menu, then go for it.

There is no such thing as 10 yr old adult. Prices are by ages - Guests 3-9 and Guests 10+. Disney has chosen those ages as the break points for park admission and dining. You are not an adult at Disney until you hit 18 and can reserve a room.
