You can share whatever food you want but your bill will reflect the number of people at your table at character meals. (I wonder if at non character buffets/pre plated - are there any?- if you can opt not to eat) They are booking a show as well as a meal and they know that even if they turn you away because not everyone wants to eat they can fill the table with someone who is willing to pay for everyone. They have more people wanting to eat at these restaurants than they possibly can seat they have long waits and people complaining about the waits - this is one way they can lessen the wait my making less people interested.
