Hi there, Gina! Thanks so much for visiting planDisney again from all the way across the pond. I'm so glad you found your way back to us with another excellent vacation planning question, and I'm happy to help with your question to make your trip to
Walt Disney World Resort just as magical as can be!
Our family was very excited when
Disney dining plans returned earlier this year. I really like the dining plan as it lets us pay for most of our meals in advance, which helps with staying within our vacation budget! Your question feels very familiar to me, as I too have teens who sometimes gravitate toward a selection from the appetizer menu or a kids' meal instead of a large entree.
In most cases, Gina, this won't be a problem! As long as you're not dining at an all-you-care-to-enjoy restaurant or a location with a
prix fixe menu, your teen should be fine ordering whatever sounds good to her. Some restaurants also offer kids' meal items in larger portion sizes, as well. Ultimately, this is up to the discretion of the restaurant, but we have been in this situation many times over the years and have never had an issue!
I hope this information is helpful to set your mind at ease for your upcoming trip! Thanks again for returning to planDisney, and please stop by anytime if we can help with any other questions for a jolly holiday that your family will always remember!
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
