Dining plan for toddler

[Bella]

Hi! My husband and I will be going to Disney with our daughter, 20 months old, for the first time. We purchased the dining plan. My question is does this include a children's meal for her as well? TIA!

Since she is under 3, she can eat off of your plate for free. Otherwise you have to pay for a meal for her.

At buffets and all you can eat, this won't be an issue, though -- she can have her own plate. Only at "menu" restaurants will you have to choose between sharing your meal and buying her one.

we are taking our son who just turned 2 on his first WDW trip. We are going on the free dining plan and are trying to make as many character buffets as possible. He should find something he likes on the buffets. At the sit down restaurants he can order a kids meal --if necessary or just eat off our plates. When I made our ressies -they told me since he was under 3 and not a "ticketed" guest-dining plan was not needed and he could share our meals or buffets.

I wouldn't worry about it. We had plenty with the dining plan to share with both of our kids, 1 and 3 years. At buffets under 3 is free. At sit downs, if you want to order a kids plate you can.
