Kid's Menu

[Pocahantas]

This will be our first time going to Disney with kids that are over 9. Does anyone know if 10 & 11 year olds are allowed to order from the kids menus???

If you are NOT on the Dining Plan, then yes, I think that they can order from the kids menu.

Thanks, that is what I was hoping to hear! We use DDE instead of DDP since we are annual passholders. There are only a couple of our resturant choices that the girls may want to order from the kids menu instead of the regular.

We are DDE too. I know for a fact that I myself have ordered from the kids menu. And I am definitely not a child! Disney is usually pretty flexible on it from what I've seen.

Thanks again!! We will be staying at BWV when we are there in February.

Same here...we use the DDE and both my girls are preteens, and all three of us have ordered from the kids menu before.

With the dining plan they don't care if an adult (i.e. over age 10) orders from the kids menu because the adult credit cost more.....but they won't allow a kid (i.e. age 3-9) to use credits to order from the adult menu (because their plan was lower priced). That makes sense of course.

My girls and I have also shared two adult meals between the three of us, quite often in fact. So if your kids want to eat the adult fare, but it's just too much food, just have them share. I have never been charged or turned down when requesting an extra plate so that we can divy up the foods. It's also a great way for us to get to try more items! At TS places they will divide the food onto two plates for you if you simply say "these two will be sharing the chicken". Never been charged in a TS either, though I have read that some of the really fancy ones will charge a plate fee (I think it was V&A and CG). But, even that charge is likely to be less than ordering two entrees that neither child can finish, lol.

Even if you are on the dining plan, they can order from the childrens menu. It will still cost an adult dining credit though.

Thanks for the info! I am glad to see they are flexible when it comes to kids. I totally understand why they won't let a kid order from the adult menu (using kids credits) on the dining plan. We find that DDE is a much better value for us than DDP (especially since DDE includes the discount on adult beverages).

We had the DDP and ds almost 12 ordered from the kids menu- but he only eats chicken tenders so they doubled the amount and used it as an adult credit...
