Adult Ordering Kids Meal at BoG?

[jsmla]

Has anyone done this? I'll be there in two weeks. I'm a fairly light eater and know I won't want a heavy meal in the August heat. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Yes, I have done this. I prefer the adult food offerings, but I was also looking for a light meal at the time and the kid's grilled cheese, while very basic, suited me.

I've ordered the kids meal for both breakfast and lunch. I didn't have any issues with it.

Thanks for the replies!

I was looking at either the pork or the turkey sandwich. I'm assumîng you can get a regular iced water with this? I don't drink milk or much soda but one of those baby Dasani bottles isn't going to be enough.

1) If you ARE NOT doing DDP / Character Meals / Dinner Shows / Buffets, anyone can order anything from any menu and pay the posted price.
2) We are not big eaters, so wife and I frequently order from the kiddie menu, and pay the kiddie price.
3) NEVER HAD A PROBLEM.

Anyone care to make a recommendation? Just from looking at the pictures:

The meatloaf, macaroni and grilled cheese don't really appeal

I don't think the shrimp would be enough, even for me

That leaves the pork and the turkey sandwich, any opinions? I'm open to the macaroni if it tastes better than it looks

I've had the kid pork. It's the same thing as the adult pork, but a smaller portion, delicious.

My wife gets the kids pork. She loves it and the serving size is just right for her.

It's never been an issue.

The beverage station is do it yourself - with large cups. I always get a large cup of ice water before the meal, then refill my cup after the meal. I don't know if they have lids, but even if they did, I would leave it off so they know I'm not stealing a soda.

I dislike the food at BOG so I should try the kids meal next time.

i've read that the nicoise salad is a pretty small portion, if you're into that kind of thing.

Our Recommendations:
. . . appys:... Indian Style Bread Service
. . . entrée:.. Beef Short Ribs
. . . dessert:. Banana Kulfi Sundae (available seasonally) or Banana Cheesecake
.
NOTE1: Has good regional African food. Americanized, but definitely more adventurous than
other eateries. The menu is shorter than other table service eateries, the wine list average,
but the quality of the food and presentation are high. An added benefit is the viewing animals
on the Savannah during the meal (for daylight hours). There are eight window tables and six
more with good views. For lunch, try the Lamb Kefta open face sandwich; for dinner, try the
beef and lamb. Don't miss out on the Banana Kulfi Sundae. We like the bread appy/sampler,
as well as the salad sampler with three salads; either will feed two people. Be aware that items
labeled as "Durban" are highly spiced, best washed down with cold milk! It is out of the way,
but is worth the long drive. This is only one of the five sit down eateries we patronize at WDW.
In our opinion, Sanaa is better than Jiko or Boma. As a PS, they accommodate kids really well.
.
NOTE2: There has been a MAJOR menu change for lunch. The bread and sandwich offerings are
still there, but CONSIDERABLY toned-down for "heat". I had the Lamb Kefta (aka, Lamb Burger).
It was very tasty and nicely spiced, but no "heat". I asked, and yes, the menu items have
been altered. I asked for some PeliPeli sauce, which is a VERY, VERY hot Indian sauce. If
I put more than 1/32" ball on my fork, my lips and tongue would go numb! This was great, as
any Indian food that doesn't bring sweat droplets to your forehead is too mild. So, if you
enjoy something very spicy, ask for the PeliPeli on-the-side in a ramekin, but use sparingly.
.
NOTE3: Sanaa is a really good place to split/share meals. It not only helps cut the cost of
eating, but gives you a chance to sample the various offerings.
.
NOTE4: We prefer the lunch over the dinner.
. . . the fare is a little lighter
. . . the price is better
. . . the appys and salads are the same
. . . the lower number of people eating
. . . the ability to see animals on the Savannah is better

My toddler had the turkey sandwich on our recent trip. He liked it, and it did look quite good. He also really liked the peach applesauce that came with it.

My husband has had the macaroni before and he liked it.
