It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jennifer! It's so exciting that you're headed down to Walt Disney World Resort tomorrow! I'm so glad that I'm able to answer your question about some of the finer points of the Disney Dining Plan so you can concentrate on having fun this week.
Kids between the ages of three and nine who are using the
Disney Dining Plan must order from a children's menu where there is one available, but if a restaurant without a children's menu accepts the Dining Plan, your kiddos can still order from there. Make sure to ask a Cast Member at the register if there is a specific selection for kids or if the whole menu is fair game and then you can place your order and tap your
MagicBand to use your Quick-Service credits! Kids Quick-Service credits can also be broken down into Snack credits as you mentioned, but the Snacks must all be purchased from the same location when you're redeeming credits in that way.
Speaking of snacks, you're traveling at one of the best times for snack-lovers because the
Epcot International Festival of the Arts just kicked off! The Festival is a celebration of all different art forms, including the culinary arts, so it's the perfect place to try new and exciting dishes that are only around for a limited time. Lots of the menu items are available for a Snack credit on the Dining Plan so it's a great place to spend the day of you're hungry!
Have a magical day, Jennifer!
