Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Tina!
Although to enter the
Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks (unaccompanied by an adult)
Guests must be at least 14 years old (or accompanied by someone who is at least 14), Guests need to be at least 18 in order to
make a dining reservation. This is primarily because a credit card is required for booking dining reservations, and the minimum age for a credit card holder is 18. Even for dining reservations that do not require prepayment, a credit card is required to guarantee the reservation (although it will only be charged in the event that the reservation is not cancelled within the dining location’s allotted cancellation period).
Even though they can’t make advance dining reservations, your sons may still visit any of the
Quick Service restaurants at
Walt Disney World Resort, but they will also be restricted when it comes to using
Mobile Food & Beverage Ordering (since that also requires the use of a credit card).
I wish I had better news for you, Tina! Please let us know if there are any additional questions we can answer for you, though. We're always happy to help.
