Disney Dinning Question for kids

[GrumpyDad1974]

OK, I'm sure this has been asked before but I could not find it.
I have a DD 10 who does not like the adult menu at TS rest. and wants to order off the kids menu. I've heard this is ok, but my questions is can we just buy her the kids meal $7-10 and save her adult TS credit for another day or character breakfast? We are going to the california grill and she will use 2 TS credits and all she wants is mac n cheese. If anyone has expierence with this any info will help. thanks

The way I understand it, you always have the option to pay for any meal OOP (out of pocket). Just let your server know when you sit down how many meals will be paid for with the dining plan, and which meal (s) you would like to be separated. Happy dining!
