    If I make a dining reservation, does each member of the party have to have their own meal or can we share one? Do you have to order what if you end up feeling sick or full?

    Welcome to planDisney, Brittany! Thanks for stopping by and for bringing this question to us! I'm happy to help! 

    Walt Disney World Resort is known for its amazing attractions and beloved characters, but another big draw is the food! There are so many dining options at Walt Disney World that I'm convinced you could stay for weeks and still not try them all! Typically, I'm pretty possessive over my Disney entrees, but there are times that I want to save room for a Dole Whip later, so I don't need an entire meal. Generally, you can share entrees at most Disney table-service restaurants, as long as it's not a buffet, family-style restaurant, or a fixed-price menu. It is up to the discretion of each establishment, so be sure to check with your server, but I have never had a problem with it, and I have heard stories from friends who have also split meals.

    Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' in Disney Springs is one of my favorite places. I could go for Art's Famous Fried Chicken with those Cheddar Drop Biscuits right now! The portions are large, so sharing a dish is the best option for some guests. Another fun spot is Jungle Navigation Co. in Magic Kingdom Park. The theming is an extension of the Jungle Cruise attraction, but I love the food and drink options. If I'm in EPCOT, I'm headed to Nine Dragons Restaurant for dinner. I try to time my visit with Luminous The Symphony of Us because they have a great viewing area.

    All this talk of food has my stomach growling! I wish you many amazing meals shared with those you love on your most magical vacation yet, Brittany! If you have more questions, please let us know! It's our joy here at planDisney to help other guests with all their Disney planning!
