One of the most fun parts of visiting Disney World as an adult is the ability to “act like a kid” in certain ways, like riding attractions, meeting characters, and even eating.


Kid’s Meal


In fact, some adults will even order kid’s meals at the “Most Magical Place on Earth”, sometimes due to price, sometimes due to portion size, and sometimes because the option is just better!

Grilled Salmon at Columbia Harbour House


Let’s begin in Liberty Square at the iconic Columbia Harbour House. This quick-service location actually offers a couple of kid’s meal options — including the Grilled Shrimp Skewer — however, the top kid’s meal for adults is the Grilled Salmon. This dish, which is served with a choice of TWO sides and a small drink, costs $8.99 — a deal compared to the $15.79 Maple-Glazed Salmon on the regular menu.

Cheeseburger at Cosmic Ray’s


While there are a lot of burger options across the Magic Kingdom, our favorite for kids — and kids at heart, it would seem — is the Cheeseburger at Cosmic Ray’s in Tomorrowland. Served with a choice of two sides and a small drink, the $8.99 kid’s option is cheaper than the offerings on the traditional menu, but is still a great size.

Green Chile Beef Nacho Bowl or Citrus-Chipotle Chicken Nacho Bowl at Pecos Bill


Frontierland’s Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn offers several nacho variants on their menu, including two for “kids”: The Green Chile Beef Nacho Bowl and the Citrus-Chipotle Chicken Nacho Bowl. Each of these $9.29 bowls includes a choice of two sides and a small drink, and the portion sizes are ideal for anyone looking for a nacho fix without indulging in a full plate.

Pepperoni Flatbread at Pinocchio Village Haus


The Kid’s Pepperoni Flatbread at this Fantasyland location includes a choice of two sides — we would recommend doubling up on fries — and a small drink. In both portion size and price ($9.29 vs $12.99), it’s smaller than the main menu option, which may appeal to some who may not want to indulge in too much pepperoni and cheese in the Florida heat.

Keeping track of all these menus can get a bit overwhelming. Our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!

Ham and Cheese Kid’s Pack at Pinocchio Village Haus​


For those looking for an even lighter bite that works on the go, the Village Haus also offers a light bite option in the form of the Ham and Cheese Kid’s Pack, which includes sliced ham and cheddar with apples, grapes, dehydrated green beans, and whole-wheat crackers.

The Chicken Strip Option at Multiple Locations​


There are plenty of quick-service locations to pick up chicken tenders at the Magic Kingdom, and their kid’s menus feature smaller portion sizes (two tenders as opposed to four) which is ideal for many adult diners who want a quick bite of chicken and fries for lunch without filling up too much.

Some adult diners at the Magic Kingdom are choosing to order kids meals at some of the park’s dining locations. Stay tuned to Magical Guides for more on evolving Disney trends.
