Hello. We are coming in January with a family of 9. We have reservations each day. My dad was recently diagnosed with cancer. So his eating habits are way off. Would he still be required to pay if he sits with us? We dont have the dining plan.

Question

Answer 1

Hi Travis,

Thanks so much for writing to us. I'm sorry to hear about your father and am sending healing thoughts. If your father chooses not to eat, he is welcome to join your family. Be sure to ensure that he is counted in your table totals so that the restaurants account for the seat, and simply explain that he will not be dining, but rather enjoying your company. If your dad would like something to eat, but has special dietary requirements, be sure to tell your server, as he or she can liaise with the kitchen to prepare something that meets his needs. You may also contact guest services about any special dietary restrictions in advance of your vacation, and the chefs will be able to prepare in advance to make his visit as magical as possible. Again, I wish your family all the best.
