I think I would pay for the childs plan. You get so much food that you could easily share your meal if there wasnt something she wanted on the childrens menu. As mentioned many ts meals are mini versions of adult meals and the childrens appetizers are great. I would really look at where you are planning on dining and go from there. If your doing a buffet or two and dining at Lecellier or coral reef you may want to just buy the childrens plan. At some cs places I ate the childrens meal and my son ate an adult meal. Cosmic rays childrens meal had a wonderful chicken salad. It still came with the same adult dessert as all counter services do. At the sci fi dine in I could have easily shared my appetizer, meal and dessert. Coral Reef the children get to order an adult appetizer then the childrens meals are similar to adults meals. We also ate at chef mickeys and of course it a buffet so your daughter could choose whichever. Maybe your 11 year old would want chicken strips or a kids meal once or twice as well? Just a thought!
