Looking at bringing my 2 1/2 year old to a character dining experience. First of all, should I book the reservation for 3 (just the adults) or 4 including my little guy? As well, does Disney charge for a meal for children under 3?

Greetings Karen! Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! As a mom of four children myself, I would highly recommend a Character Dining experience for your little one. You will definitely want to include your son on the Advanced Dining Reservation. By making your Advanced Dining Reservation for four Guests, the restaurant will know to have a table available that can accommodate your entire travel party. I am happy to report that Guests under the age of 3 are free of charge when sharing from an adult's plate. I hope this information is helpful to you. If I can assist you with dining recommendations or any other questions regarding your vacation, please don't hesitate to ask. Best wishes for a magical trip, Karen! Bon Appétit, Jodie
