Hi, Janice! Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It is great to hEAR from you again!
I always get so excited when I hit that mark of 180 days prior to my Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Once I get my
dining reservations booked, I start to feel like my next visit to my "home away from home" is a tiny bit closer.
Unless you are dining at a buffet or all-you-care-to-enjoy restaurant, there really is no rule that says all guests must redeem a
Disney Dining Plan entitlement at each meal. You may feel free to share a meal with your daughter at the restaurants that you inquired about.
I think you and your family will really enjoy the restaurants that you mentioned in your question. My kids both love pasta and pizza, so they are big fans of
Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano. You will love the unique atmosphere at
San Angel Inn Restaurante, where you can dine in twilight while watching the boats from the
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros float past. When you dine at
The Hollywood Brown Derby, be sure to try their famous Cobb salad and the grapefruit cake. Please be aware that as They Hollywood Brown Derby is a signature dining establishment, you will need to redeem two table-service entitlements for one meal.
Have a magical day!
Samantha
