Kids Meals max age?

[mlwear]

What is the max age for kids to order off the children's menu, particularly at sit-down meals? Seems like I've read two answers. Some say under 10 others say under 12. We did pay for adult for our10 year olds dining plan.

DS is 10 yrs and will be using the dining plan. I can't imagine him ordering adult portions of appetizer, entree and dessert! Just thinking that if he could order from the kids menu one or two times for which we would pay out of pocket, he could share appetizer and dessert with adults that would be plenty and we could use his sit down vouchers (doing same with DS age 7) for a signature meal or additional sit down (s).

As I wrote in another post... I made priority seatings almost 90 days ago for several restaurants in WDW (Crystal Palace, Chef Mickey's, Whispering Canyon Cafe, and others). I'm traveling with two boys ages 11 and 12. I was told by Disney Dining that the 11 year old would receive child's prices, while the 12 year old would be charged as an adult. At any rate, the priority seatings were made for 3 adults and 1 child. I'm under the impression that the dining plan has alternate rules, however...

Hi, we experienced a couple of different things in different restaurants. In shutters they let our 14 year old order off the child's menu. We specifically asked her if she wanted steak or anything else but nooo, of course once my dinner came she wanted some,, Always ordered off adult menu from then on. We paid for their two children's meals(both the 7 & 14) on our own and saved the credits.
At Donald's restaurnat the sign said 12 and under and when I looked at our receipt we had been charged for two childrenn's meals. so I really think it is where you eat and if you pay for their meals seperately just let them know and don't make a big deal of their age. and if you use a credit of course you should be able to order from whatever meal you want.
Have a great time, I wish I was going with you!
