Sharing adult meals with kids

[2disneycrazy]

I have a trip planned for 2 adults and 1 6-year old child. The child is a picky eater and doesn't like too many chicken nuggets. It seems as if the only thing on the children's menu is chicken nuggets and mac & cheese. There are other foods, but not much more of a variety.

I have the dining plan for 10 days and was planning on doing about 7 character meals. The other 3 meals I wanted to go to Le Cellier, Prime Time and Concourse Steakhouse. When we go to these restaurants can we order 2 adult meals and then share them between 2 adults and 1 child or will the waiter makes order 1 adult meal and 1 child meal when we say that we are sharing?

Since I have been reading some postings and it sounds like it's so much food that I thought 2 adults & 1 child can share 2 adult meals.

How are the meal credits issued? Do they give tickets for each meal for each person on the dining plan? I read somewhere that they put it on the room key. Do we have to carry room keys for myself, my niece and my 6 year old nephew to get into the parks and eat?

Are there any recent changes? I have been reading postings to gain information on the dining plan and almost all postings say that the credits are pooled together whether they are adult or child, but today I read a posting that someone just booked the dining plan and was told that the credits are separated. Is this true?

Any info will help me plan so I can call and make reservations. Can I make more reservations and then cancel them later?

Currently, the dining plan credits are pooled. This is subject to change, so be prepared for them being separated, just in case.

The are currently pooled by room. As long as your family is in only one room anybody can access the credits. If your family has 2 rooms you need to make sure that the names in the room are listed on the checkin like you want your credits to be divided. I have experienced this issue.

The dining plan in my opinion is a enormous amount of food. You should have more then enough when trying to feed 2adults and 1 child on just 2 adult credits. I'd suggest maybe using the extra kiddo credits for breakfast or something like that. And don't forget about your snack credits. Those tend to build up for most people it seems...
