Character Dining and disability

[iheartdisney]

Hello all!
My sister and her family recently adopted a son with Cerebral Palsy. I am so excited to meet him, and we are planning a trip to WDW this summer!!
With 7 small children between us, i would love to do some of the character dining, and was wondering if anyone had any experience.
My new nephew does not eat. (he uses a feeding tube) but is 4. Will my sister be charged full price at any of the character dining buffets for him?
Thanks!

Congratulations on your new nephew! We have been to Disney several times over the last few years with our family. Oldest son is now 13 with CP and is g-tube fed. We have been to Ohana, Tusker House, Crystal Palace, 1900 Park Fair and 1 other for character meals - and have never been charged for meals when he could not eat. And I would argue of everyone in our party our special needs child receives more attention from the characters than the rest of us! For our family Disney is truly a magical place where we can go together and everyone can enjoy, no matter the age or needs.

Have a great trip & take lots of photos!

Just adding a comment to include him in the count for the reservation. This is needed so you can get the correct size table.
