we are a family of 8, purchased park pass and meal plans for 5 0f us. 3of us will buy the park passes only. If we booked at a restaurant for dining for the 8, but 3 of us did not have the park pass for that day, can they have dinner with us only?

Hi Ghada, Hooray for a vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort! I love traveling with friends and family to one of my favorite vacation spots! As long as you are not eating dinner in a park, you can absolutely do dinner together. Some of my family's favorite restaurants are outside of the parks like Whispering Canyon Café, Yachtsman Steakhouse or California Grill. If your room reservation has a package that includes the dining plan, all of the guests on that reservation must have the same package including tickets. If those three guests are on the room reservations with others who have the dining plan, they will need to have the dining plan. Wishing you a magical vacation! Beth
