Adding members to your ADR party

[SirDuke18]

I have a reservation for 2 at Ohana character breakfast but now have 2 a friend and an other child who would like to join us. I called to see if there was an open reservation for 4 on that date but was told there wasn't. Any suggestions? What would happen if we just showed up with 4 that day? Would they accomodate us?

You could keep checking online every day to see if anything opens up. Whenever someone cancels a reservation, it goes back into the system.

You could try making another reservation for 2 as close to the time of your reservation. You'll need to make it with your friend's name and phone number because the system won't allow one person to hold 2 reservations for the same time. When you get to the podium ask the CM if you can be seated together. You may have to wait a little longer, but hopefully they'll let you.

You can continue to check at Guest Services after you arrive at DW.

You can subscribe to the cancelled ADR thread on the Dining Reservations subthread. There's one for each month. Here's the link to the board:

I would try and make every effort to get a reservation and try walking up as a last resort. Depending on what time of year you're going and how busy "Ohana is, they may or may not be able to seat you. Your best chance would probably be when they first open or near the end of breakfast time.

Hello and welcome to the boards.

Sorry to let you know that if you show up with the extra people, they would be turned away. Not the entire party just the extra.

Restauants as WDW have strict fire codes that they have to follow, so adding people is often very difficult, and virtually impossible at popular places.

So the only thing you can do is keep trying to add them, check for ressies for 2 - and link them if you get one, that way you can hopefully sit next to each other. It isn't always possible but it is better than nothing.

Good luck!
