When did a 10 yr old become an adult for dining purposes?

[n2mm]

It changed on July 1, 2005. Haven't been to a buffet since then and have taken 4 trips since July 2005. That was a good point about the "kids" being charged as adults for tickets and meals, but not considered an adult when it comes to sharing a room.....hmmm, is that next? BTW, we have traveled with our grandson (11) on 3 of the 4 trips we have taken since July 2005 and we have had no problem letting him order for the kids menus at sit down restraurants. Most, if not all, of the servers are very accommodating and give him a choice of adult or kids' menus.

When we were there in late June, dd was considered a 'child' as far as dining purposes go. She was 11. Then, in early Aug, she was considered an 'adult' for dining. While I understand Disney's reasoning (sort of anyway), I hated it. My dd is the kind of kid who could live on mac and cheese at WDW. Since that is no longer an option we won't be doing nearly as many buffets as usual. Sure, she can get mac and cheese at any of the character buffets, but to pay $28 for mac and cheese at Crystal Palace is a bit much. So, we are doing more counter meals now. I wish they would put a Jr. pricing in effect for those that don't eat so much...even if it was for the exact same food as the children's rate.
I'm already obsessing over what this kid is going to eat when we go in Oct '06 for her 13th b-day!!! She really wanted to do HDDR, so I have it booked but what the heck is she going to eat?? Doesn't do fried chicken, ribs, beans....I think it may be time for a bit of a taste expansion at our house!!!

Sounds like a great idea!
