I can certainly relate to never wanting to grow up! It's hard to watch our kids grow up, but perhaps your upcoming visit will help to keep everyone young at heart!
Whether or not a slightly older child is permitted to order from the kid’s menu really comes down to which restaurant you’re visiting. Some
Disney Dining locations are a little more flexible with their enforcement of the dining age. We always find that it never hurts to ask the Cast Member serving your table if members of your party can order from the kid’s menu. Just keep in mind that the answer given to you by the Cast Member isn’t really in their control, but more the direction they are given by the restaurant in which they work.
Amy, while speaking of dining, many dining locations throughout the Disney Parks and the resort hotels now have
mobile order as an option! We used mobile order multiple times per day during our most recent visit! It was quick and convenient when keeping our family on the go!
