Adding a 5th to the party

[Krystal659]

My son has requested that a friend join us for our trip in June. We have two rooms, so space will not be an issue. But, now I am wondering is there an easy way to add him to a) hotel reservation; b) dining reservations; and c) park reservations.

In theory this sounds easy right, just pay more money but I realize in the Disney system this may be very difficult. Any suggestions on where to start (or if it is worth it).

Unfortunately for June it would be far from easy.

Adding him to your hotel reservation could be done fairly easily.

Dining reservations would require attempting to change your current reservation group size. This may or may not happen.

The most challenging part by far would be park reservations. If some/all parks are already full it will be challenging to add someone to your travel party. Many days in June only have AK and/or Epcot available. Disney is not able to add a park reservations so you would need to check often to see if you could find a reservation for him but a lot of people are looking. Some are successful, others not.

Thanks for the honest answer. So, now along with my daily hunt for ADRs that were not available the 60 day morning, I can hunt for park reservations. I may need some one to remind me that I love a good Disney planning challenge

You should sign up for Dining Alerts using this link www.***********.com
I have been able to get almost all my reservations, because I needed to add one more person to our reservation.

Unless you have any of the restaurants that required calling direct (like Trex) just call Disney Dining. I had to do this once, as I was in charge of our dining reservation in 2016 and I explained hi, I made all our dining reservations about 3 months ago and we just found out my younger sister in law is able to come (YAY!) so I basically need to add 1 to all our dining reservations please. The CM took me through each of the ADRs and we got one added. It took at least 30 minutes on the phone but got it done. I can't help at all one the other parts as the park reservation system wasn't in place and she was staying in a room with someone else, but I hope the dining part helps!
