Kids over 9 can order off the kids menu

[JohnDaleswife]

We have a 12-year-old and ate at several Disney table service restaurants this past week. (not buffets) Even though the childs menu is ages 3-9, they let her order off of it regardless. So even if you have a child over 9, don't be afraid to ask about the child's menu.

I have never understood why Disney uses the ages of 3-9, because this is not industry standards at all, but they do. Just remember that this won't work at buffets.

There have been many reports here of most restaurants allowing adults to order from the kid's menu as long as it is an a la carte menu.
Disney uses 3-9 to align with their ticket pricing.

Anyone can order off any menu when they are paying for it. Add in the DP and you have a whole other can of worms to tend to

Just remember there have been reports that non Disney owned restaurants (such as La Hacienda de San Angel) can be more strict.

I have a friend who always uses the DDP for her family. She is a picky eater and she has never had a problem as an adult ordering off the kids menu. The cast members have told her that she paid for a more expensive meal so it's fine.

Yes, we didn't have a problem with this in August. A few times my 12 year old couldn't find anything on the adult menu that he liked, so we were able to order larger portions of child menu items for him.

The meal portions are so large and I hate wasting food so I almost always order a kid's meal.I've never had a problem.

Even on the dining plan we've never had a problem.

I'm in my 30s and ordered off the kids menu last week.

I am so happy to hear this! We're paying OOP for the first time and taking my niece along with my daughter. Hope you don't mind me asking along these lines.... has anyone ever ordered one adult entree and had two people share? Again, I've only done the DP, so this part is new to me. Thanks!!

Yes, you can do whatever you want.
