Let’s discuss!
This post is all about answering this common question: Can you get Disney World kids meals for adults?
Can You Get Disney World Kids Meals for Adults?
Sadly, there is no straightforward answer to this.
Sometimes, you’ll be able to order Disney World kids meals, no problem.
Other times, you may not be allowed to.
Let’s break it down further …
Can adults order kids meals at Disney World Quick Service Restaurants?
Absolutely! You can order kids meals at quick service restaurants regardless of your age. There are two ways you can order kids meals as an adult:
- Waiting in line to order at the counter or window (don’t worry. Cast members won’t ask if the meal your ordering is for a kid or adult!).
- Mobile ordering on the My Disney Experience app (once again, you won’t be asked on the app if you’re ordering a meal for a kid or adult).
Kids meals at Disney World Quick Service restaurants often come with one “main”, two sides and a small drink (water, milk or soda) – and usually cost at least a few dollars less than adults meals at the same locations.
The portion sizes are often quite considerable, and can be adult-friendly!

Can adults order kids meals at Disney Table Service Restaurants?
This is where things get complicated. Sometimes, you will be able to order a kids meal at a table service restaurant. But you may have to pay more, because you’re over the age of 9.
Some cast members may not allow you to order from the kids menu at all, whilst others may allow you to – but you may receive an adult-sized portion with high adult meal prices.
Also, be aware that ages 10+ have to pay adult prices at dining locations, such as buffets and places with a pre-fixe menu.
Other Frequently Asked Questions Related to “Can You Get Disney World Kids Meals for Adults?”
What is the official Disney World Kids Menu Age?
If you are an under 10, you are considered to be a “kid”, and therefore young enough to order from the kids menu at both quick and table service locations at Disney World.
Anyone aged 10 and over is considered by Disney to be an adult. (This is also the same for Disney World ticket prices, where even kids 10+ are considered by adults).
What are Kids Disney Check Meals?
Kids Disney Check Meals are those special meals on Disney restaurant menus marked with a Mickey check symbol.
That little icon isn’t just there to look cute, it’s supposed to mean the meal meets Disney’s nutrition standards for kids.
This will often mean lower calories, less salt, and usually some actual fruit or veggies squeezed in there somewhere.
Whilst these meals aren’t always the healthiest (sometimes burgers qualify as a Disney Check Meal), but they are often somewhat better than your average Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Fries meal.
Remember, these are healthy by Disney and Theme Park standards – not necessarily always healthy overall.
Can adults order kids meals at Universal Orlando?
Typically, the rules will be very similar at Universal Orlando. At quick service locations, this shouldn’t be a problem – but it may be at table service locations. You can always check with your server.
Can kids order the adult menu on Disney Cruise?
On a Disney Cruise, you can often order whatever you like, in many cases.
There is usually more flexibility on what you can order on a Disney Cruise than what you’ll find at the Walt Disney World parks and resorts.
