Hi there Lindsey!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. I'd love to assist you with your question about
Dining at the Disneyland Resort. As an adult who often eats smaller portions myself, I understand your desire to order off of the children's menu. Officially the children's menus are for children ages 9 and under, but it's possible a Cast Member may allow you to order from this menu, so it wouldn't hurt to ask. Alternatively, Table Service Restaurants can also split a portion for you to share or box up the other half to enjoy later. Personally I prefer having them split a portion off of the regular menu as I find the adult selections to be a little more adventurous and satisfying. Restaurants at the Disneyland Resort are also very accommodating when it comes to diets and allergies so just let them know if you have any specific requests. Keep in mind that if you choose a
Character Dining meal, buffet experience or dining package, that you will be charged the adult price if you are 10.
If you have any other questions when it comes to dining, feel free to call the Disneyland Dining number at (714) 781-3463. You can also make dining reservations by calling this number or by reserving online up to 60 days in advance.
I hope this helps, and wishing you a delightful trip to the Happiest Place on Earth!
