We have children ages 10 & 13 who are small eaters so we are not planning on using the dining plan. If we pay for our meals out of pocket can they order from the children's menu at a table service restaurant? What about buffets?

Hi Paul! We've not had issues ordering off of the Kids' Menu at many of the Table Service restaurants, so you should be good there. You might have to request the Kids' Menu for your children when you check in. Another economical option at a Table Service restaurant is splitting one adult entrée between the two. Buffet and all-you-care-to-eat meals are a little bit different, and will be charged based upon the guest's age, the same as park admission. For those meals, they'll pay the 10 and up rate. Have a magical vacation! Amanda
