    Is every guest in the reservation for table service restaurants required to order?

    Hi, Cathy!

    The answer to your question is a definite "it depends!" If you are at a dinner show, buffet, family style dining, character dining, or any type of "all you care to eat" location, then each guest will be charged for a meal. However, if you are at a regular a la carte table service location, then each guest does not have to purchase a meal.  

    Regardless of what is ordered, if your party consists of 6 or more guests seated at your table, an automatic 18% gratuity will be added to your bill.

    I hope that everyone in your party decides to enjoy a meal together. It certainly does not sound like much fun to watch others indulge in all the great entrees, drinks, and desserts without jumping in on the party!

    Have a great stay in Walt Disney World!

Meet the Panelist: Cathy, Ohio

Hi, I'm Cathy from Cleveland. I love to travel, especially in the winter to escape the cold of Ohio! My husband and 2 kids share my enthusiasm for travel, so we enjoy our adventures together whether it is sailing with Disney Cruise Line, running (or cheering!) at runDisney events, taking hula lessons at Aulani, or vacationing at the Walt Disney World which is our home away from home. I am proud to be a part of the planDisney team and cannot wait to share my tips and advice for a magical vacation
