Originally Posted By Mrs Nurmi we have always been able to order the kids food in adult sized portions - you just get charged for it. At RRPP, I have ordered the cheese ravioli, and at the BB, my son always orders the mini corn dogs in adult size. I believe they end up being around $10ish.

I friend had the lap band and explained it to the gentleman at the hall and had no trouble her 3 days there.

And if they want to, who cares?
Originally Posted By kaoden39 The problem with the no kid meal thing is the adult meals are so huge. I know I won't be able to eat it all. I think at the self serve places it really won't make that much of a difference they don't know how many kids are in your party. I shall see next week at Disneyland.
Originally Posted By Mr X I agree with Jim, what's the big issue? Are there so many people trying to find a bargain that this could actually be an issue? And even if so, those kids meals are a rip-off just like the adult versions in most restaurants, maybe even moreso!
Originally Posted By boyumz My kids (teenagers) and I always buy the kid's meal at Whitewater Snacks inside California Grand. It's the same size as the adult portions and the drink is included plus you save a couple of bucks. It's always been fine with the cashier

They just wanted something DD would eat. Waiter told them, " No, we don't even have a kids menu!" So she ordered the monte cristo and just picked at it a bit. Please! I know they have a kid's menu!
Originally Posted By x Pirate_Princess x I order kids meals, too. Sometimes, like at Pizza Port, I've ordered 2 kids meals and my 2 girls and I have shared them. I've even ordered kids meals and Denny's for breakfast LOL Why should I pay more for food I'm just going to throw away? What a waste.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Looks like they have chicken drumettes, mac and cheese, pb&j montecristo and what KCCHIEF described on the childs menu. We went to BB the end of April and had excellent service. I was hoping that the complaints I was hearing about service and food quality had been addressed. After reading momof4boys post I guess not. Really odd or lazy thing for a waiter to say.
Originally Posted By momof4boys Yes, I was very disappointed in their waiter.
