We just got back yesterday after 5 days on the
ddp with 3 adults & 1 8 yr old & the choices for kids at the ts were really horrible. They have the same menu at almost every restaurant. There were usually no appetizers unless you consider the side dishes which are served in the ears of the mickey dish but they are served along with the entree so it's really hard to consider them an appetizer. Every restaurant also had the same desert...vanilla ice cream "sundae"...every night how ridiculous. The adult deserts were way too much for us so he ended up eating one of ours & we still had plenty left. I know if we went to buffets it would have been a different story but we don't like buffets. Le Cellier & Kona had soup for kid's appetizers but Wolfgang Puck's & Raglan Rd didnt have any kid's appetizers at all & the adult appetizers are way too big for a child to eat by himself so we ended up ordering appetizers he would like just so we could share with him. As far as veggies go there really weren't any. Most of the meals were pasta. At dinner on the last night my 8 yr old nephew asked his dad if Disney thought children were third class citizens. I was surprised by this remark & disappointed that he felt that way, especially since he was eating my decidedly decadent triple chocolate dessert at Raglan road...a fabulous place by the way, at the time. So I guess it really bothered him that he had very few dinner choices during the week.
Even my 12 year old fits into this category....
Children have much more sensitive taste buds than us (thus their strong preference for sweets, and often bland food). Adults had lost that sensitivity over the years, so we often enjoy stronger flavors, including bitters like beer.
MANY (if not MOST) children 3-9 are not adventurous eaters. So Disney does cater to that. It is likely that my 12 year old will order from the kids menu, and his VERY adventurous 9 year old sister will order from the adult menu. (she even tried escargots on
DCL--LOVED them!
) Luckily we will be able to order FOUR appetizers at each TS...if we can get rings or fried cheese, DS12 will be happy. And he likes few desserts....vanilla ice cream is about it!
I noticed a "healthy" option on many of the TS kids menus, which was very nice. Grilled chicken or salmon, salad, fruit, veggies, smoothie or yogurt. My younger 2 would LOVE this choice. (again, DS12 likes grilled cheese, burger, chicken fingers, mac & cheese, PB&J...you get the idea!
KIDFARE)
At 10.99/kid for DDP, and considering most kids couldn't eat a full appetizer, entree & dessert (cripes, most adults can't !), I'd say the sides "as appetizers" is appropriate, usually.
) so it would be great if they could offer corn, peas or something similiar cooked (even the carrots) that I know he can eat. 
I thought we were on vacation.
At Disney, Key Lime Pie counts as a green veggie!
