Picky adult eater and kids menu question

[honeymom]

My 15 year old has sensory issues and is a really picky eater. I'm looking at the adult menus and don't see much that she will eat on them. However, occasionally she will eat something on the kids menu. Will the restaurants allow her to eat off the kids menu? If not, will they make her an adult portion of something on the kids menu and charge the adult price? This is not really a matter of trying to save money. It is a matter of finding something she will eat.

Yes they can do this- they will also make any of the adult dishes without the sauces or with sauices on the side.

I totally understand; I have a 15 year old son with sensory issues. For us it is not a money issue either, but rather we simply want him to be able to eat. I have to tell you that we have had positive and negative experiences with this issue. For example, I explained it to the waiter at the Brown Derby and he kindly said "he can order anything he wants". At La Hacienda, the waitress told him he couldn't order chicken tenders because they were for children 9 yrs and under only (this restaurant is not Disney owned). Also, at the Plaza restaurant at MK the hostess rudely refused to give me a child's menu when she saw my son was 15. We ate there anyway and my son went and got himself some lunch at a CS. In hindsight, I wish I asked to speak to the managers at the restaurants where we had problems. I just didn't want to make a big issue at the time.

I also have a picky eater and he would order something off the children's menu and they would just make it an adult sized meal . We've always gotten the DDP so it would cost us 1 TS credit, but the meals always came with adult portions .
