Sharing with a 4 year old instead of ordering a separate child's meal?

[SEC71]

Is it ok if a 4 year old child shares a meal with a parent instead of ordering a child's meal? We are not on the dining plan but we do have a TIW card. On our last trip I felt we wasted money and food at several meals by ordering a kid's meal.

Its YOUR money, you can do what you want. You can share with 10 people if you wanted to. I know a lot of ppl who share meals at disney. With or without the dining plan. You'll be fine trust me!

Totally fine. We shared several meals with our then 4 yr old on our last trip.

You cannot do this at any buffet/dinner show.

You can absolutely share, and it's a great idea! My mom and I just got back from a week long trip and shared almost all of our meals. If we thought a sandwich and fries wouldn't cut it, we ordered a small side or treated ourselves to dessert

I've always shared with DD at sci fi - they brought an extra plate and offered to split the food no problem.

Its true that you can share at ANY place except for buffets and dinner shows. They will charge you for your 4 yr old even if s/he just sits there. Lol.

Everyone will be charged at:

-buffets
-all you care to eat family style meals
-dinner shows (Hoop de Doo, luau, Mickey's Backyard Barbecue)
-fixed price restaurants (e.g. CRT, Akershus)
-anyone eating from the skillet at Whispering Canyon Cafe

You will be able to share at a la carte menu restaurants.
