I am trying to figure out how the dining plan works for our 2 children. Our son will be 1 and our daughter 4. Does our son just share food?
 
Your son can either share your food (no charge for sharing), eat at a buffet (no charge for children under 3) or you can purchase a meal for him out of pocket. HTH!popcorn::
 
The kids size dinners are a good size, so I usually let my kids share and just order an extra drink for the baby. We also let the little one mooch off our plates!
 
we went a couple wks ago and our son (2 1/2) just ate some of ours most of the time. Actually a couple places brought him a meal and just said dont worry about his (we were all on dp). When it happened the 1st time I was surprised when it happened again I figured maybe this is something they do?

Not sure about the 4 yr but I was say the 1 yr old could share w/ no problem!
 

The 4 year old would have her own credits (children's) and would not be permitted to share at buffets or at all you can eat fixed menu meals.
 
We didn't realize the places we were eating were using the "child" credits for both kid's meals until we ran out of the credits. Not a big deal really, but if you're budgeting, something to be sure to mention to them that you're paying OOP for whatever. We just used our TIW card to get a discount of those. Also, my boys, 4 and almost 2, wound up eating most of each of their meals-surprising all of us! I don't think they could have gotten by sharing the majoirty of the time.

I guess to answer your question as simply as possible, the little guy can share or you can pay OOP.

Have a great trip!!
 
We just got back. I have a DS (3) and a DD (2)... Used the Dining Plan....
We ate at The Plaza, WCC, Tony's, Prime Time...
and probably about all the Buffets.... H&V, Crystal Palace, Boma, ect...
We ordered regular Drinks and Childrens Meals for my DD (2) expecting to pay for her.
And WE were NEVER Charged anything for her.... NOTHING....
So she really ate for free everywhere...:confused3

Also another Myth... Yes there is WHOLE milk available at all the CS places...
