What are my options?

My son will be 9 on the first day of our trip but will turn 10 four days later. He hates to eat off the kid's menu. Do you think I could ask to have him charged as an adult for the meal plan? Would they allow this? I don't know what would be more cost effective for us in this regard. For our 6 TS meals 3 are buffet-style and 3 are sit down. Should I leave him at the kids rate and just pay for him to eat off the adult menu at the regular sit down meals? I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

Since you seem to know where you are eating go into www.allearsnet.com and price it out. Print the menus and have your son look at them.

Kids aren't restricted to kids items at the buffets and that's half your meals

So worst case scenario, I think you'd be better off ordering an adult entree off the menu at the other 3 sit down places if you had to rather than upgrading his meal plan to adult status.

At the sit downs, I'd show him the menus from all ears and see what he says. Some places have better kids menus than others. Maybe you could find some to his likeing.

Spoodles has a good kid's menu as does the concourse steakhouse.
Other places.... Not exactly.

Thanks, I think he will be fine. i looked at the menus and I know he'll find something at Concourse and Spoodle's. So hopefully, it won't cost too much extra out of pocket. I mean we are getting the "free" dining.

I would be more concerned with my child eating cs kids meals vs. table service. It appears that with the adults getting an appetizer, entree, and dessert that there will be plenty of food for all by splitting appetizers - which we always do just so we can eat a variety ie: we both wouldn't get potato skins, we would order separate apps and all would try/eat them. I am also not a big dessert eater so would be more than happy to give my kids the adult dessert. My main concern would be how much is in a kids meal at CS - 3 nuggets (I really don't know) and would see if he will eat those meals vs. ts which seems to have a good variety.
