Food for picky eaters

[Frogmom6]

Hello! I am travelling to Disney World for the first time with my husband and four daughters, ages 17, 15, 12, and 5. Most of us are pretty adventurous eaters, but my twelve year old is insanely picky. I am finding lots of great restaurants, but many of them don't have adult meals that she would eat. Would I be allowed to order her a kids' meal at most restaurants, or would they refuse because of her age?

Most should let you order a kids meal. However if it is buffet or something with a set price you will be changed as an adult for her.

Most will let her modify an adult order within reason and will allow her to order something off the child's menu but at an adult size order and price. As an example if the kids meal comes with 3 chicken fingers then the adult portion may be 5 and there can be an upcharge.

Our 13yo daughter is a picky eater, me too., However I can often find something to eat while she snubs the menu. At Disney there's been no issue with her ordering from the kids menu. There's also been times where she's just ordered sides of veggies and a starch or cup of soup and been content.

Have the 12 year old pick the restaurants.

My 15 year old son is ridiculously picky. He never had a problem ordering a kids meal anywhere. At our BOG lunch he ate nothing but french fries and a cupcake. At Prime Time Cafe he wanted chicken tenders, they asked him if he wanted the kids meal or an adult size portion of chicken tenders at an adult entree price. He chose to get the kids meal because he wanted the included desert. LOL.

I’m an adult and I order off the kid’s menu. Sometimes it’s because I’m picky but other times it’s because I simply don’t eat that much at meals. I usually eat small meals and snacks in between.
