Question about dining with children

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

Hello!

So I have a child, a Disney adult (aka a 10 yr old) me and my s/o.

So...if we go on the ddp, it will be 3 adults 1 child.

Here is my question:
At restaurants like Sci Fi Dine in, or Le Cellier for lunch, can we use the adult credit but order off of the child menu?

I know that financially this is not a good idea, but there are places that we all want to eat at but I know that there will be a lot of wasted food if he orders adult portions, plus there may not be anything that suits his taste.

You would be better off paying our of pocket for the meals that your 10 year old wants to order that are childs meals. Then use the credits left for extra meals

You can... or you can pay oop for his meals and save those adult credits to do an extra meal or signature meal. The credits are pooled to the room and not to the individual so that won't be a problem.

yes you can but i would do as the other 2 said if you would like to try signatures.

that is a great idea, I didn't realize that was even an option! so we could have 3 people on ddp and 1 person out of pocket, and use that 1 credit for something else?? that would be beneficial at two of the places on our list. Thank you!

other question: if he wants to order off the childrens menu, paying OOP, is that ok even tho he is 10? noone is going to care too much, right?

You are allowed to spend the credits anyway you want. So fi for 3 ts meals you pay oop for ds, you would then still have 3 adult credits to use at another time during your stay. There should not be a problem for your ds to order from the childrens menu.
