Is this morally wrong?

I'm not sure if I have asked this before. We are doing a family reunion trip, and much of our family cannot afford the table service meal plan so we all decided to do the quick service meal plan. My immediate family still wants to do a few of our favorite table service meals, but we don't plan on telling them. How can we do this?

Hmm, good question. I don't think it wrong not to tell them. During any larger family reunion, there should be times when everyone goes off and does their own thing. You can simply state that they can do whatever they wish, and meet back up later. Unless they are immature, they should have no issues with your family wanting to do something different, even if that is food that they can't afford.

I don't understand. Your immediate family wants to have dinner at a table service restaurant and the rest of your family can't afford it? Just tell them that you guys are going to go to a restaurant one night because you've been looking forward to it and you'll meet up with them later. Problem solved. If they get upset, that's their problem not yours.

I don't think that you need to tell them, at least in advance. Unless you are planning to spend every single moment of the trip together as one big group, you'll have free time to do what you want to do as a small group. I wouldn't feel guilty sharing that information either though, since it is your money and time to do what you want to do, as long as you don't rub it is as a "I have money to do this and you don't" kind of way.

Do you plan on being with them the whole time or have you planned some alone time with your immediate family? Since you are asking, it seems like you are concerned about it. If you are going to be worried about them finding out, I would go ahead and tell them you are thinking about going to some table service meals during the time y'all are doing your own thing. I don't think you need to ask permission but you could just casually mention it in conversation. I think you would feel better if you get it off your chest. Then you are not worried about it your whole trip.
We are doing the same thing. My parents and sister's family booked last minute and did not get free dining so we are doing table service meals with just the immediate family. We all agreed it was a good opportunity for us to have some time apart :)

Why can't you just say, which is the truth, that you and your immediate family want to have some alone time at a few meals together? I don't see why that's unreasonable. ??

Yes. You already asked about this.
