    I have triplets who were very prem but next time we visit they will be over 10 meaning they will have adult dining plan!Is there any exceptions where I can buy them child dining plans instead of adults as the cost difference is considerable? Thanks

    Dear Nicola,

    Thank you so much for stopping by to visit us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your great planning question about your upcoming visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!

    I understand how it can be a challenge sometimes to transition from the child meals to the adult meals, because there can be a change in cost. In your situation, having that change times three must be a shock! If your children don't eat large portions, you might consider not purchasing the Disney Dining Plan and instead paying out of pocket for their meals. At restaurants that are NOT buffets, family-style, or other fixed price restaurants, you can select kids' meals for them. That might help you to keep your costs down. If your children are big eaters and/or if you are planning many buffets or family-style meals, then it might be better to just go ahead and purchase the Disney Dining Plan because it might save you money and the hassle of having to pay for each meal separately. 

    Hope that helps with your magical planning!
