Hello Judith,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! My family enjoys the value of the
Disney Dining Plan, especially when we have booked Signature Dining or Character Dining Experiences. We love having the option of different Plans since, during each of our visits, we like to try new Restaurants, so we need a Plan that best fits with those particular Dining Experiences.
Guests with the Deluxe, Premium, or Platinum Dining Plan can mix Adult and Child meal entitlements. For example, if a Guest on the Dining Plan has two (2) Adult and one (1) Child meal entitlements, they may choose to select three Adult Table-Service meal options. You may use meal entitlements as you wish; if your Child wants to order from Adult meal selections on the menu then they are more than welcome to but, you will be charged for an Adult meal entitlement.
I hope this information helps. Please visit us again if you have any additional vacation planning questions!
Magical Wishes,
Susan
