It's great to see you here today at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Laci!
My family and I really love using the
Disney Dining Plan when we're on vacation at Walt Disney World Resort. There's so much flexibility built in so we're able to use it in a way that works best for us, and it gives us the opportunity to try new places every time we go. We're real foodies in my family and the Dining Plan has really made it possible for us to experience new foods and new flavors that we may not have tried before!
When you book your vacation package, everyone in your party must be on the same Disney Dining Plan so you are not able to split one Dining Plan between two children. While you can't share a Dining Plan, you are welcome to share meals at most restaurants. If you're at a Quick-Service or Table-Service dining location and your kids would prefer to split a meal instead of order one for each of them, you're certainly allowed to do that. The only exceptions would be at a
buffet or family-style meal,
dinner show, or
Character Dining experience where everyone is required to pay the listed price or redeem Disney Dining Plan credits to enjoy the experience. Other than that, sharing meals on the Dining Plan is perfectly fine!
Have a magical day, Laci!
