Dining Plan and Buffets

[missmdr]

We leave in a few weeks for Disney; have a question about the dining plan. We got the dining plan for three adults; my 10 year old is considered an adult apparently. This is unfortunate as he is a fussy eater and will certainly not eat like an adult!
I was going to conserve some credits by having him order from the child's menu and paying out of pocket. While this may work at some places, I am not sure if it will at the buffet style restaurants. I would rather pay the $10 buffet price for a child than the $25 for adult. Do you think this will fly?

Thanks!

Since your child is 10 years old, he would pay the $25 junior/adult price for the buffets, anyway. So there would be no advantage to paying OOP for him at the buffets.

It's such a shame b/c he literally turned 10 a month ago!
