Adding a dining guest

[Mickey 103]

Hi,
This Oct I have a ADR for 6 at CRT. Since making the reservation my brother has decided to join the family. I have tried to add 1 to the reservation but there is nothing available. Will they seat 7 on a 6 person reservation?

woulda been a lot easier if you were a party of 5 since the table seats 6 it would have been easier to add the extra.

but a party of 6 is seating at a table for 6.

yikes.

what happens if you call and ask to add an extra person.

Most likely not. Going from 6 people to 7 people you will need a different table. Plus, if the restaurant is booked solid occupancy codes will not allow them to set an extra person.

The best thing to do is to keep calling and see if they can add your extra guest. Or if they have a table for 1 around the same time as your ADR. If neither of those things work show up early for your ADR and see if they can work any magic for you and seat your extra person. But be prepared you may be told no.

Exactly what this poster said.

Won't work, since you technically would need a table for 8. Keep calling.

1) Disney is getting wise to the "but, they decided to join us" trick.
2) People can't always get the ADR they want.
3) So, they under-count to get a table.
4) Then, they show up with "unexpected" additional people.
5) In a team meeting, CM's have been told to warn guests against this.
6) If there is room, WDW will not turn away revenue.
7) But, if busy, they will turn away the additions.
8) Go ahead any arrive with the extras, if you like.
9) Just be prepared to have someone stand around while you eat.

NOTE: Twice I picked up shifts as a host or seater at a character meal.
On both days, I turned away people who showed up as extra people. To
me, it was just rude to try to squeeze in extras. Oh well, several folks
ended up eating elsewhere, while the original ADR people sat and ate.
