Picky teen ?

[Elephantay]

We are taking a friend this trip and he doesn't like more than the standard picky kid food ~nuggets, pizza, macaroni and cheese, some fruit. For the rest of us, the DDP makes sense for the first part of our split stay, but he's the wild card.
I'm wondering if:
~ Do we have to use the DDP for his meal if he wants to eat off of the kid menu?
~ Would they allow an adult sized portion of kid food?
Thanks

No, you can pay OOP for the kids meal and save his credit.

~ Would they allow an adult sized portion of kid food?
Depends on the restaurant. It can't hurt to ask!

You don’t have to use a credit if you’d prefer to pay oop. I’ve found that buffets have been great for my picky kids. Most have a kids section and there’s also adult options for the rest of us.
