I am in the boat that thinks the Children's menu looks good and is going in the right direction as far as looking more like the adult menu.
In November, my girls turn 10 on the 4th day of our stay. I have upgraded them to the adult menu (even though I could have kept them on the children menu). The reason, is that my girls do not and never have eaten chicken nuggets and pbj. So, the pasta and marinara was pretty much the only thing they would eat on the kids menu. Often, I would just ask for plain pasta for them. When you go for 7+ days, they would be so sick of the same choices over and over and over again.

That said, I am a little surprised they did not have chicken nuggets or mac 'n cheese for those kids that do like the 'traditional stuff' they serve at most of the restaraunts. But, I suppose the pasta and meat was considered that stapple item.
