    I have an 11 yo boy with autism & Im concerned that the restraurants wont have the foods he eats and the others that do are on the childs menu. Mu question is, can I order off the childs menu even tho he's older than 9,if not can i special order somet

    I understand your concern, Amy. Meal times can often be frustrating when our kiddos have specific preferences. We have found that Walt Disney World Resort restaurants are most accommodating and willing to allow older kiddos to order off the children's menu. Sometimes mac and cheese is a comforting staple during vacations. Also, don't hesitate to ask the server to modify a dish to your son's liking. My son refuses to eat anything covered in sauce and servers are happy to accommodate his request for sauce on the side. This makes for a happy kiddo and happy parents.

    As you continue to plan, take a look at the many online menus available for Walt Disney World restaurants. I like to have an idea of what items are available and discuss with my son what his options are prior to arriving at the restaurant. On several occasions, he has decided to try new dishes, and now those are some of his vacation favorites.

    I hope I've helped to alleviate your concern. I don't think you will encounter any issues and will be able to focus on creating magical memories with your family. 

    Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!
