Hello Emma and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel where as the current British Mum here on the Panel I'm thrilled to assist you with your jolly holiday plans to visit the magic of Walt Disney World Resort.
Oh boy! I'm absolutely delighted to know you've already secured Advanced Dining Reservations for
Character Dining at
Mickey's Backyard BBQ at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground where there's sure to be lots of toe-tapping and hoe-down fun for all your gathering of 9 folks!
When visiting
Disney Table Service dining locations you might find that the very 1st question you'll perhaps be asked by your Cast Member server is
'Are you using the using the Disney Dining Plan today?" and I'm more than happy to share that in my own experience of dining as part of a large group of family or friends at Walt Disney World Resort where some are using the
Disney Dining Plan and some are not that it truly won't be any problem at all. Simply explain to your Cast Member Server which Guests are utilising their Disney Dining Plan Credits and who is paying out of pocket for their meals and they will happily take care of it for you.
Wishing you and your whole group an extra pixie dusted upcoming visit to the wonder of Walt Disney World Resort.
~ Jane
