Hi Sheila!
I'm happy to help answer your question about
dining at Walt Disney World Resort. Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Walt Disney World Resort does a wonderful job accommodating Guests with specific dining requests, including Guests who may have a smaller appetite than others. If you'd prefer to order from the Kids' Menu at a Table Service or Quick Service dining location, you'll be more than welcome to. The only time you wouldn't be allowed to do so would be at a buffet-style meal, where you would be required to pay the adult price for the buffet.
I have a 13-year-old that fluctuates between eating like a bird and devouring everything in sight. For those "bird" times, she often chooses items from the Kids' Menus for the smaller portions. I, myself, am a big fan of macaroni and cheese (which can't always be found on the adult menu), so I've been known to order from the Kids' Menu as well!
I hope this helps in your planning. Please let us know if you have further questions before your Walt Disney World vacation. Have a magical day! - Diane W.
