Large group-Seperate checks??

[MILWDIANA]

Dining with a group of 9. (No dining plan). If we make a reservation for 9 and all get seated together do we have to pay 1 check or can we pay on separate checks? I understand we will be charged the gratuity like a group which is fine.
My husband and I have Tables in Wonderland which we would like to use for our meals.

It's not a problem, just let them know in the beginning. Do try to help them out by ordering per each check group and being clear on who goes where.

[Figment!]

Personal experience has been that Disney (on both coasts) seems to be the one major travel destination that assumes one check for a large group as the default.

Never had a problem if separate checks were requested at the beginning of the meal, but if one isn't requested it is unlikely the server will ask for a preference (per my own experience).

Thank you!! We will make sure to request separate checks right away!
