How do they tell the difference between child and adult on...

I have a trip planned for August and will be staying in a Disney resort. I am planning on getting the meal plan for 2 adults and 1 child. On a few days an adult friend will be visiting and we want to take her out to eat. The child will be relatives at another resort for the evening -- offsite. Can this person eat with us using our meal plan.

How are the meals broken down? Are they on different room keys, one key per adult and one per child. If my friend uses the child%26#39;s key will they know it is for a child or will she be able to eat with the child%26#39;s key? Are all meals lumped together whether adult or child?

Thank you.

I%26#39;m not exactly sure how they work but I know the child Meal plan only allow them to order off the kid%26#39;s menu at restaurants. So I would think it is seperated out in some way to know that you are allowed so many adult and so many child%26#39;s meals for the week. I think you can use the meals anytime during the week so if you take your friend to dinner one night then I would think you could use three adults meals on the plan but you would be short a meal somewhere along the way for one of you later in the week. Just my guess, but I%26#39;m sure one of the experts can clarify this.
