    How particular are non-buffet style restaurants about "kids menu" items when NOT using dining plan. Now that our oldest are "adult ages", on most of the menus we've reviewed, my kids (11,12) would prefer kids menu items to the adults.

    Hi Megan!

    My son who is 15 often doesn't like what is offered on the adult menu so he orders from the children's menu. Most restaurants in Walt Disney World will let you purchase a kids meal for kids older than ages 3 to 9 or even if they are considered an adult. It is really up to that particular restaurant so it doesn't hurt to ask. It has been my experience that around 90% of the Walt Disney World restaurants that I have eaten at with my son have let me do this exact thing.  You can ask for a larger portion of a kid's meal for a nominal additional fee or you can order two kids meals (typically under $20.00 total for both kid's meals which is cheaper than an adult meal) like my son does. For Buffets, Character Meals, and Dinner Shows you will have to pay full adult price for the meal.

    I hope that all of your meals are magical on your next Walt Disney World vacation!

    Keep Dreaming Big!
