Help! Debating on site vs. offsite. AGAIN!

I will say that switching to the family suite at ASMu made a difference too since dh and I will have a queen bed! We upgraded to the ddp. Had we been on qsdp, I don't think I would have questioned switching to SVV. I am so with you on paying adult prices for a child to pick fruit and bread! That is truly our reason. 3 of my kids are Disney adults yet only 1 (the 15 year old) actually eats like an adult.

Just so so you know, you can pay OOP for kids meals for the 2 that don't eat that much and save your "adult" TS credits for another TS meal. I have read about kids as old as 19 ordering kids meals at TS places (although I admit that I think 19 is far too old to be eating meals that are marketed for "Mickey's Friends 9 and under") but the servers don't seem to care and had no problem bringing my DD a kids meal even though the reservation clearly said she was 10.

So .... you may be able to squeeze in another TS (or go for a Signature) if your two light eating "Disney Adults" order kids meals and you pay OOP twice on your trip. The standard TS kids meal is about $8 complete with drink and dessert. The average adult dinner is about $31. If you look at my thread link I added in an earlier post you will see the restaurants where I plan on having the girls eat off the kids menu.

This may also help you with your plans:

Robin, I never thought of that! Great to know since we will be using 4 adult and 4 child credits at CRT which throws us off. I think we will definately take advantage of that plan! Thanks for the tip!
