When I'm making reservations for meals, like a character breakfast, do I include my two year old in the count? I know she isn't a part of the dining plan but she will need to be sat with us. Is the count for meals or chairs?

Question

Answer 1

Hi Laura,

Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks for sending us this excellent question.

When making advanced dining reservations for Disney Character Dining, or any other table service restaurant, will need to include all the members of your party regardless of age. This ensures your table will have room for everyone, including Guests under the age of 3 who may need a high chair. An accurate count is needed in order to help manage service capacity and to comply with fire safety regulations. Therefore, your two-year-old princess will most definitely need to be included in each of your dining reservations.

Disney Mom Tips:

1. Spend some time exploring the page about Planning for Pre-School Kids & Little Ones.

2. Be sure to check out the useful packing tips videos found in this excellent Disney Parks Blog entry.

3. Do take advantage of the convenient Baby Care Centers found throughout the Walt Disney World Resort.

I hope you found this information useful, Laura. Please visit us again here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with all your questions. We are more than delighted to sprinkle a little pixie dust on your Disney vacation plans.

Wishing you a most memorable visit to that wonderful place where the magic is endless!
