Yes, adults can absolutely order from the kids menu on Disney cruises. Disney Cruise Line is very flexible when it comes to dining, and guests of all ages are allowed to order anything from the menu.
If something on the kids menu sounds better to you, you can order it without any issue. The same goes for mixing and matching across the menu. You can order multiple appetizers, choose both soups, add a salad, or even order more than one main course if you want to try different dishes. The dining team is used to these requests and is generally happy to accommodate them.
Can kids order from the adult menu?
The flexibility works both ways. Kids are not limited to the kids menu either. If your child wants something from the adult menu, such as a steak, fish, or pasta dish, that is perfectly fine. Many kids prefer the adult options, especially on longer cruises when they want more variety. The servers are happy to bring adult menu items in kid sized portions if that helps.
Take all you want but eat all you take.
The only thing to keep in mind is food waste. Disney encourages guests to explore the menu, but it is always best to order with the intention of eating what you take. With so many options available, it is easy to find a combination that works for everyone at the table.
