what does childs dinning plan include?

[Garage Door Momma]

I understand that the adult dinner includes entree, main course, drink & dessert. While reading another post it looked as if one family also received this a few times with the child meal plan (childs dinner, entree & desert). I can't imagine this is right. If so WOW we'd all gain 25 lbs., Disney would be losing money & what a deal! Could someone please clarify. Thanks

Yes, that's correct. We were there in April. They ask that childs meal be ordered from childs menu(although some CMs at the counter services don't push it, and one even encouraged us to order from adult menu at the counter service, but like others, I didn't want to take advantage of a good thing) But at counter services it's main course, dessert and beverage. At sit down meals they can order an appetizer from the regular menu a main entree from childs menu, dessert and beverage. And yes, it's a lot of food. DH who is a huge eater wasn't always able to eat everything. And then factor in the snacks as well.

Wow. What a deal Theres no way we could eat everything they offered. With 3 adults & 3 kids I'm sure Disney would be so happy to get rid of us! It would be great to let the kids go crazy without nickel or diming it! For late dinners we could always take leftovers back to hotel. I'm hungry just thinking about it.

yep each person over age 3 gets all that. There are a few resturants that have kids meal appetizers and desserts and make you stick to that, but at counter service, buy the adult meal and split it so you can get lunch and dinner both.

At Shutters our server let us have an adult entree for our 5 yr old so there would be more to split w/the 2 yr old. But at some table services they were more strict and wouldn't let us do that.
