Will they let my teens eat w/o us in the MDR?

There are two nights when my husband and I have specialty dining. My kids (16, 14, 10) will likely do Windjammer, but I didn't know if they could still use the MDR table if they were interested in that meal. I know all parents say this, but they are well-mannered and would be polite and respectful to the surrounding guests as well as the wait staff.

Yes, they can. They are absolutely welcome to go enjoy a nice dinner together without you, in fact I thought it was pretty cool when I saw a group on younger teens\kids having dinner together one night when I was in the MDR...it was nice to see kids enjoying themselves having a good meal and talking to each other over dinner.

Yup, you don't see that often anymore.  Nowadays, most of the time they are playing on their phones.

My boys 20 and 18 Y.O. had a great meal in the MDR without us. We were on date night and they had a great convo with the wait staff. They still text on occasion.
