Hello! My 180 days is coming up and I had a few questions that I figured the experts may be able to help me with!

1) What happens if I have an ADR and part of the party can not make the reservation? For example say I had an ADR for 5 people, but 2 people decide not to join, can I modify it? Will they seat us with just 3? We are traveling with friends, but they are not advance planners to the level we are!

2) if I have a reservation for a restaurant in a resort, can we park at the resort? Will we be charged? For example, if we are having breakfast at chef Mickey's, can I park at the contemporary? We are staying on site, but in the AoA suits if that makes a difference. Also, would there be a time limit on parking if I was allowed to park there? Could we then ride the monorail into MK?

Thanks in advance for any information!
 
1. If you have a reservation for 5 and 3 show up, you will be fine. They will seat you and you won't get charged any kind of cancellation fee. You would only get charged if no one showed up. If you know far enough in advance you could modify the amount of people in My Disney Experience by clicking "Change Reservation."

2. Yes you can park at the resort for free. You will tell them when you arrive at the parking gate area that you are there for a dining reservation (they might ask for a reservation number). The parking limit is 3 hours. Regardless though, parking at the Contemporary and then riding the monorail to MK and spending time in the park wouldn't be appropriate.

1) Agree with MUDIS17

2) You could always leave earlier for your Chef Mickey's Reservation and walk over to the contemporary - there is a walkway and its like 10-15 minute walk - really pretty and it elevates the need to take a car with you - we did this on our last trip
