Adding a 2 yr old to ADR at the restaurant?

[ILuvTinkerbelle]

Ok this is stupid but when I made my first ADR for an early breakfast I didn't include dd who is 2, I just thought well she will use a high chair and that does not count as a seat...it can be added. In all my other ressies I thought, I better add her.....

We leave in 2 days and I want to know if it will be an issue to add a high chair to our table for 4 at the podium? I don't want to cancel and try to rebook as it was a hard to get one....I am going to call and try to add her....but I might keep it anyway and hope they say ok at the podium


Please tell me that they will seat us!!!???

The way I am reading it you have 4 people and if you add your daughter you will have 5 right? If so, then you should try to change your ADRs in advance. You will need a larger table, and while the restaurants will try and seat you, there are no guarantees.

Try and change it ahead of time, and if that fails, show up early. But be prepared that they may turn you away. Sorry.

Even if we are just putting a high chair on? She does not need a regular chair. I am going to call later when the kids are asleep and try to work it out on the phone just so there is no way we get told no. Thanks for the info

Yep, even if you are adding a high chair. Most of the restaurants have their tables situated in such a way that you cannot just add another chair or highchair to it. The tables are too close together. A four top table sits four, and in most cases (if not all) that means just four. Not four and a high chair. You will need a larger table once you count your 2yr old.

Hopefully you can work things out ahead of time.
