Hey there, Jinni. Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
You are vacationing at
Walt Disney World during my favorite time of year. I just love all of the holiday decorations that are on display throughout the
Walt Disney World Theme Parks and the
Resort Hotels. It's beautiful.
While the
Disney Dining Plan isn't available for your son, I do have some good news for you. Your son and all children under the age of 3 are able to dine for free while on vacation. At all-you-care-to-enjoy restaurants like
'Ohana at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort or
Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club Resort, you are able to fix your son as many of his own personal plates from the buffet that he cares to have. When my daughter was younger, we choose to dine at these style restaurants a lot because of this. Also, several of the buffets are character meals which are really fun at that age. At restaurants where each person chooses an entree from the menu, like at
California Grill, your son is able to plate share with anyone at the table that you wish. If at this style of restaurant you want to order your son something else, only then would you be required to pay something.
I hope this helps, Jinni. If you have any other questions before your trip, please come back and ask us!
