Child's Menu Questions

[ChrisMouse]

I'm still confused over the child's menus. I'm trying to make an "expected spending" spreadsheet to determine if we should do the DDP or not, but it's hard knowing exactly what is covered on the DDP.

I've been checking menus. When the menu lists "mixed green salad with chicken and one side item"...does that mean the chicken is IN the salad? Or is it chicken tenders or strips? What about "chilled chicken with carrots and celery"?? Is this all un-fried chicken, or fried chicken? I have to determine if my kids will be willing to eat these items.

I've seen these items on the menus for several places...Columbia Harbor House, Pecos Bill...
It's so confusing!

Also, on the McDonald's menu at Epcot, I see chicken nuggets. Is this considered a CS? and if so, do I then add the cost of the nuggets ($2.79 or 3.99 depending on number of nuggets?) and then the only dessert available McFlurry $3.99 and a soft drink at $2.09 to try to determine what the CS meal would cost me OOP? I'm trying to compare the value of the credits against the cost OOP. Does that make sense?

I guess I'm just having a really hard time figuring out what my kids' choices will be.

THanks for any insight or help.

"Chilled chicken" is grilled, not fried. Awhile back, it got very difficult to find fried chicken on children's menus at WDW. There are indications that may be changing a bit.

McDonalds in DTD is not a participant in the dining plan, but you MAY be able to use CS credits in Epcot (it is not on the brochure; however, people have posted in the past that they were able to use credits there. You'd have to ask when you got there.) You would definitely be able to use them at Restaurantosaurus in AK, which sells McDonalds nuggets.

at EPCOT you get the nuggets, fries a drink and a mcFlurry. Great deal all for a CS.
