Yes you can. Many people don't get the buffet, the characters actually have no idea who does and doesn't. They will come to each table. Just know that sometimes ordering al a carte doesn't save much if any by the time you get drinks, especially if you get two, such as juice and coffee. I am not a great lover of breakfast foods and always say I won't do the buffet but always do, I love all the fruit. You can always check out the buffet and then decide if you want to go that route or not. Enjoy your trip!
