Can you share an entree at Disney World?

So, splitting a plate is a fantastic idea and a great way still to try out a few of the excellent restaurants while on your vacation. I am happy to share that you can absolutely split a meal at most restaurants throughout Walt Disney World.



Yes, you are generally allowed to share an entree at most Table-Service and Quick-Service restaurants at Walt Disney World. This is a popular "pro-tip" for families looking to save money or those who find Disney's portions too large. In Quick-Service locations, sharing is completely unrestricted; you can simply order one meal and ask for an extra plate. At Table-Service restaurants, most "à la carte" locations (where you order individual items from a menu) will allow sharing without an extra fee, though it is polite to order a side or an extra drink. However, there are two major exceptions: you cannot share at buffets or "family-style" all-you-care-to-enjoy restaurants (like Liberty Tree Tavern or 'Ohana), and you cannot share at Character Dining locations, where every guest is charged a fixed "per-head" price regardless of how much they eat. For those using a Disney Dining Plan in 2026, you cannot "split" one dining credit to feed two people at a Table-Service meal, though some servers may allow it if you are paying out of pocket for the shared portion.

Just ask the Cast Member serving you to split it however you want, or you can tell them at the beginning of the meal and they'll take care of it. If you want to charge your meal to your Disney Resorts Collection hotel room, you can give your server your Disney Band and they will charge it to your room folio!
