Question about meal sharing/character meals

[mshanson3121]

Can you meal share at character meals, or does everyone need to use a credit for a character meal? Specifically at Crystal Palace or Hollywood & Vine?

The deciding factor; is it a buffet? If so (and both your examples are) then everyone pays (with cash or credits).

I can’t think of any character meals that aren’t buffets.

No sharing.

Well played, Disney, well played.

Cinderella's Royal Table isn't a buffet, but you pay individually regardless.
'Ohana and Garden Grill aren't buffets, but you also pay individually regardless.
BoG has a meet and greet with the Beast at dinner only, and is not a buffet.

But to reiterate what others have said...no sharing allowed at buffets and aycte meals. That would be really stupid on Disney's part. Family of 5? "We'll just share one buffet dinner".

Every character meal is a fixed cost.

You're paying admission to the character experience, and the meal is just an added bonus.

Also, add Bon Voyage breakfast as a non-buffet character meal.

No Sharing at the buffets, all you can eat spots, so they charge you for everyone 3 and up... If you are thinking about a character meal, breakfast is normally the least expensive.

Well played, Disney, well played.

Well played for a common sense policy? Which (non-Disney) buffets allow meal sharing? That's not how a buffet/aycte works. That's not how any of this works.

Heaven forbid someone make a joke.

Also, if you consider it basically dinner theater, regardless of meal, it also is common sense.

Imagine the party of 10 at Akershus ordering one child meal. It would happen.

Once you sit in a chair, you are paying for food. Regardless of if you eat it! And babies on laps have to be counted as well!

Jokes are funny.

Given the comment that the PP quoted, I assume the "well played" is commenting on the fact that all character meals are AYCTE/buffets, not the fact that none of the buffets allow meal sharing. Which is rather a smart move on WDW's part (and not just a "common sense policy".

That's how I read it.

It would.

Look at the folks ordering one cup of coffee at BOG PPO for a whole table
