No kids for an ADR.......

[tinkyrie]

We are meeting friends for dinner one night without our children. Can the children's missed TS meals be used at a counter service that night with their baby sitter?

During Free Dining this is allowed.

It might be possible at other times. It sounds like they would use the food court at the resort, which is where the CM's are able to do this quite easily.

Does anyone know if we can have kids use their missed TS at a counter service in the parks?

OR can we book an ADR for the KIDS ONLY like at Chef Mickey's?

Whether or not you can exchange a TS for a CS on the regular plan can depend entirely on who you ask and where. This is usually accommodated at resort CS, but at parks it may depend on such random occurrences as which cashier you ask.

During the August/September free dining period through 2008, it was announced by Disney that the switch was universally permitted, but that stopped in 2009. Now that free dining is almost all year, can't see that announcement being made again.

Some posters also reported that they were able to get the resort lobby concierge to exchange those TS credits for CS credits.

If you feel your kids are old enough at 11 and 9 to dine out by themselves you can probably send them to Chef Mickey's. However, if you intend to accompany them and have them be the only ones eating, you may want to pick something other than a buffet or all you can eat family style restaurant, because they'll charge for everyone present at those places.
