Children's Menu

[ams71]

I am traveling in June with my DS 12 and DD 14. I was sitting here trying to calculate whether the dining plan would be an option for us, so I printed out the menus with the prices on them so that my children could indicate their choices. Guess what? They didn't like the adult entrees and would prefer chicken nuggets and pizza on a daily basis. So my question is, will they be able to order off of the children's menu at restuarants such as Coral Reef, Cindy's (lunch)?

This may be a stupid question considering that they order off of the children's menu when go to restaurants like Olive Garden, etc. with no problem, but this is my 1st trip to WDW and I just wanted to make sure that there were no special policies.

I believe they will be eating off of the adult menu because of their ages. I believe the childs menu is like the ticket, ages 3-10..

If your question is whether your kids can order off the children's menu, I am sure they can, whether you are on the dining plan or not. If your question is can you book the dining plan at the children's rate then I am sure you can't! The dining plan is paid at the children's rate for 3 through 9 year olds, and the adult rate for everyone 10 and over. If your kids really want to eat off the kids menus all over, it may not be worth paying $35/day per person to do the plan.

headoflife is absolutely right - if you are on the dining plan you must pay for the exact age of the child - in other words, i am paying adult fee for my 16 year old DD on the dining plan even though she will probably always order from the child's menu when we eat -

this was confirmed to me through CRO when i called to ask if i could pay childs fee for her and was informed that i would have to pay the adult fee but she could order children's meals if she wanted.

i wouldnt do the dining plan since they sound like they will not eat their monies worth. i would either order the kids meals or have them make a meal similiar ie like an appetizer whatever they should accomodate you. its your vacation.
