To Meal Plan or Not and if not, what then?

Keep in mind that Disney considers your 10 year old an "adult" for the DDP, which significantly raises the cost. If your 10 year old would typically be ordering from the adult menu, then no problem. My dd at that age and beyond eats less than a bird and prefers the items on the kid's menu, so for us it doesn't usually make sense to do the DDP.

I have heard that all the TS places are VERY helpful about special diets & food allergies. Inform the CM when you make the adr.
This might be a factor towards picking the dining plan, actually ...

Are you thinking it might be better - due to the allergies - to do the plan so I have a ressie and the time to figure out how to help him eat? At least I am kinda thinking that.
