We have a just-turned-3-y.o. who prefers to graze on snacks throughout the day rather than eat meals at mealtimes. If we go to a buffet, family style or price-fixed meal, can we just purchase meals for those of us who will actually be eating?

Hi Tracy! Typically for Table Service Restaurants Guests are not required to order something if they are not hungry. So your 3 year old could choose not order anything or just something small (kids meals are usually between $8.00 to $12.00). For Buffets, Family Style meals, Character meals, and Dinner Shows you will have to pay the full price for the meal even if your child does not eat anything (keep in mind that the children's price is less expensive for these if your child is 3 to 9 years old). I hope that all of your meals are magical on your next Walt Disney World vacation! Keep Dreaming Big! Marc
