Picky Eating with Older Kids

[cdingess]

My 11 year old daughter is a pretty picky eater. I notice that a lot of the restaurant menus have meals that would probably not appeal to her. However with the dining plan my understanding is that she can't order from the children's menu. Is there a way to get an adult size chicken tender meal for her?

Absolutely-- ds is 12, has sensory issues and is very very limited in what he eat--- and we had chciken tenders mieals made adult size. Chicken tenders in fact is the only dinner food he eats... so I actually have a list of who has tenders. Not all resturants do.

I believe they will let your DD order from the children's menu. My DD (now 14) has done this in the past on the DDP with no problem. Sometimes we pay OOP for her and save the credit.

She can order from the children's menus and pay with her adult credit BUT there is no guarantee that they will up the size of the portion for her. If you elect to pay the child's price in cash and save her credit, she'll get a child's portion.

I simply asked for a children's meal in adult portion--- this time I think I am going to pay OOP for his (we do have DDP) and save the TS credit. An adult portion of chicken tenders w fries at Kona last January was $10.49. He is not a dessert kid or beverage (other than water) drinker. So even if I got him a scoop of plain vanilla ice cream, that with the chicken tenders/fries still would be a waste of a ts credit... and I do have TIW so I can use that on his...
