Actually, using QS credits, you can use them for any meals, regardless of whether it's a kids or adult meal. I always wondered why they list the QS credits differently than the TS credits on the printout they give you at check in. For the QS meal allotments, they are all listed together and not separated between 'adult' and 'child', whereas for the TS credits they are separated into two sections. Also, anytime you get a receipt from a CS place at the bottom it would say '18 CS meals remaining' whereas on the TS receipt it would say '9 Adult TS/ 9 Child TS remaining'.
I kept wondering about it. So, eventually I started ordering an adult meal at QS locations for my oldest daughter. At BOG at lunch there was nothing on the kids menu they would like, so I ordered 4 'adult' meals and I never had a problem with it!
Similarly, an adult, who does not have a big appetite etc. can order off of the childrens menu at QS places.

Ooohhh.....don't say that too loud here!
It is true that CS credits are not separated adult/child, but Disney's official word is that children have to order from the children's menu when one is available.
Which brings me back to my point - if that is their official word then why do they not have them listed separately on the receipt?
It just doesn't make any sense to me, if that was their intention?!

CS dining credits are not separated on the bottom of the receipts, but the KTTW cards do indicate how many adults and children there are on your plan. So technically, the CM handling your order can refuse to charge more adult or children meals than you are entitled to at one time. It's possible that some CMs won't care and will let you charge more than you're allowed to by the rules, but there is no guarantee that will happen every time.
See question 3 of the last page of the dining plan brochure:

Why would some CM's allow you to do this if it is such a hard and fast "rule?"
Really??? Are we to be concerned about what makes sense to you?
Disney is clear in the DDP brochure (the rules ) that children must order off the childrens menu where available.
What doesn't make sense to YOU?
ttintagel said:The official policy is that kids have to order from the kids' menu if there is one. However, you may run into some friendly CM's who are willing to make exceptions and bend the rules for you. You have to go into it with a flexible and open mind.
That isn't being "friendly", it's being stupid. More CMs have lost their jobs over DP audits then you can imagine. If a CM goes by the rules they aren't being "unfriendly", they are simply doing their job.
