Sitting at an AYCTE and not eating....allowed?

[2hapykdz]

We've gone to nice TS before where some in our party, who were picky, didn't eat and just enjoyed a rest while we dined. But what about AYCTE like Liberty Tree? We have 3 and 1 doesn't eat anything....ya think they can still sit with us? Anyone have any experience? TIA!

 

[kaytieeldr]

No.

Unfortunately, no. That one person will have to find something else to do if the rest of you want to eat there.

If that person wants to pay the price for the meal and sit there, yes.
If that person wants to sit there and not pay the price of the meal, no.

Nope. Choose Plaza or Skippers canteen or Tony's as alternatives to Liberty Tree.

As long you are paying for every person, whether they eat nothing, or have thirds on everything, sure.

I assume the answers that say you can sit there if you pay were intended to be humorous. It kind of goes without saying.

Nothing goes without saying

at all disney restaurants, if the price is by age, aycte, shows, character meals you are required to pay per person, regardless of what you consume or how much/how little you consume.

Its just easier. If they didn’t, can you imagine? Bad enough the folks that lie about children’s ages.

The number of people that try to avoid paying for their picky Eater requires it being said

Didn't think of it that way. I avoid making comments about how I feel about picky eaters since I know I won't be popular.

Once my newly-minted Disney adult son ate one roll at LTT and promptly fell asleep for the entire meal. That was an expensive roll.

 

[westie55]

I am not going to LTT for the very reason that I have a 3 and 5 year old who will consume $1 worth of food between the two of them. Getting them to eat is always a struggle. We will go to another restaurant where they can share a kids meal. It may be that AYCTE isn't a good fit for your group if people don't want to eat and don't want to pay to just sit there.

Potential compromise - there are restaurants that have some AYCTE options and some menu options, like Whispering Canyon. The non-eater can order the most minimal menu item - an app, or a dessert, or maybe even just a beverage - while the rest of the party has the skillets. Only way to travel with the grandma who eats like a bird and the 15 year old bottomless pit grandson.

Fun fact "On average, birds eat approximately 1/2 to 1/4 of their body weight every day."

Thank you!! I always roll my eyes when someone says that a kid/adult in their party is picky and "eats like a bird" with getting maybe one roll because birds eat A LOT relatively speaking.

Teehee, that IS a fun fact.

You're both welcome! I heard it somewhere, and was able to find "proof" online

At least thirds here

You would be popular with me, but I am mean.

 

[2hapykdz]

Thank you all for the overwhelmingly positive responses. Are you saying that it's NEVER happened that a family sat down to eat and someone wasn't feeling well or not hungry....and they still charged them ???? or everyone left???? C'mon now.

That’s how it is with ALL buffers and AYCE restsurants
