Disney's Animal Kingdom Launches "Picnic in the Park"

[elmjimmlm]

Here is a thought...When we were there in Dec. and ordered from each CS restaurant, they told us that we could order anything from the menu because the credits were all the same and the kids could have whatever they wanted...This was even at places that offered a kid menu...So I just wonder if kids eat then will it just be considered a credit?

Unfortunately, the Cast Members were incorrect in stating/doing such.

Disney Dining Plan literature and policies clearly state that Child Credits must be used for Child Meals where there is a Children's Menu available. It makes no exception for Counter Service locations.

Since this "program" doesn't offer a Children's Menu it might allow use of a Child's credit, but again in its official description it specifically states the requirement of adult credits.

As was mentioned above, this program was just launched today, so some details of operation are not clear at this time.
