"kids meals" vs al a carte

[SUZI]

Planning the first trip ever!
I was looking at menus and many places have "kids meals"
Is that the only option for children or can they just order what they want? DS and DD have small appetites and would do better if I just chose what they can eat (or share) rather than have an entire "meal" Just curious. Thanks!

If you're paying cash for your meals, you are welcome to order whatever you want for the kids, but be aware that the menus for kids has changed alot over the last couple of years and you might be hard pressed to find something that your kids like (a lot of places got rid of chicken fingers/pizza, etc). If you're on a dining plan, then your child's meal will consist of certain items. If you are thinking of CS meals, you can certainly order 1 adult meal and split it between them. But if you're on the dining plan, you will be limited to purchasing kids meals for your kid credit.

Most menus at TS restaurants have an ala carte selection and a full meal choice (includes certain side and dessert). I'm sure you will be able to find something that will work for your kids.

Thanks Janet!
I didn't think to mention that we are not on the dining plan, but thanks for giving a response in both situations.
Have a great day!
