Hi Courtney! May is such a beautiful month to visit the
Walt Disney World Resort! The weather is nice and warm, and the promise of summer is in the air! You’re going to have a great time!
You made a wise choice with the
Disney Dining Plan! Knowing that your meals and snacks are already paid for gives you great peace of mind during your vacation! You’ll relax just a bit more knowing that the expense has already been covered!
While the final decision of whether to allow older kids (or even adults) to order from the children’s menu is at the discretion of the restaurant, our family has never experienced an issue when making that request. Some locations offer the item from the children’s menu, but in larger portions (even if not listed on the non-children’s menu), and then charge more than the price listed on the children’s menu. That has worked well for our family when our guys were younger eaters. They couldn’t get enough chicken fingers and bacon cheeseburgers! Now, with three older teenage boys, they’ll eat just about anything!
Courtney, the Cast Members at the Walt Disney World Resort do just about anything they can to make a family’s vacation a good one! Make your request and, in most cases, they should be able to accommodate you. If they can't accommodate your request, they might be able to offer a helpful alternative! Happy Disney dining!
Dreams do come true!
