Most places it will be fine but keep in mind the kids portions at many Disney restaurants are very small. I have started buying adult meals for my 7 year old because the kid meals aren’t big enough. Some places like Blue Bayou and maybe a few others might provide a double portion for double the price. I have also purchased two kids meals at once for my growing boy at Lamplight.
I often order kid meals for myself, but usually not at sit-down restaurants like BB or Carthay, so I'm not sure about that. At those places I generally share a meal, and usually pay a little extra for "share" rather than "split." That means they charge a fee but divide the meal in the kitchen and each party gets his/her own sides. There's no fee to split but you have to do it yourself and you don't get the extra sides. Anyway, I've never had an issue at the order-at-the-window restaurants. Sit down, I don't know because I've never tried.
I went at night and they originally seated us right in front of those fires and it was sweltering. We were starting to sweat so we asked to be moved. Even though there was plenty of other seating we had to go back to the front and wait while they consulted with the manager and about 10 minutes later they moved us to an area away from the fire overlooking the water. It was a good result, but a lot of time wasted for a simple solution.
That is ridiculous. I might have declined to eat there at that point honestly. My mother was allowed to order off the kids menu at Lamplight. She is older and has a small appetite. This was pre-Covid though.
Yes! At Blue Bayou my son was so hungry still after. I wish I would have thought to order him two meals. I did that the next time at Lamplight. Here are the Lamplight kids brunch burger and the Lamplight kids French toast. He ate both (he is 7).
That’s not how they are supposed to handle situations like this. They are supposed to let you offer off the kids menu and then double both the price and the portion size. I’ve only once been told my daughter (12 at the time) “can’t” order off the kid’s menu at the kids prices and that was at LL, as well. The waiter was very apologetic and said something about them “cracking down” on letting older people order off the menu, but that she could order off the kids menu and they would double the price and double the portion. We were fine with that, and we’ve never had that happen again. My daughter is almost 15 and she was allowed to order off the kids menu at LL a few weeks ago.
