Hi Lisa!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm excited to hear you are considering a visit to the
Most Magical Place on Earth! Experiencing the wonders of Walt Disney World with your children is truly memorable.
When it comes to the
Disney Dining Plan and utilizing your meals, your kids will not need their own Disney Bands. You can account for their meals using your Disney Band, since everything should be linked to your My Disney Experience account. For example, if you are stopping by a Quick-Service location and purchase meals for everyone connected to your account, you'll only need to scan your band at the time of payment. The meals will be deducted accordingly, and you can continue using them at your next stop.
At table-service restaurants, this process works similarly. Your server will ask if you are using a dining plan and may request one Disney Band from your group to apply the meals used. You can check the status of your dining plan credits at any point by opening up the My Disney Experience Mobile App. To check, select "Hotel Reservations" and scroll down to "Check Dining Plan." This will show a tally of all of the available meals for remaining on your plan.
Lisa, I hope this information helps you plan for your stay! One of my favorite restaurants to dine at is
Sebastian's Bistro at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. It's a great place for both adults and kids, including a family-style meal that is packed with delicious flavors!
Have a magical time!
Greg
