ADR Changes question

[kmk1180]

We are less than a week away from our ADR at Chef Mickeys.
We have a large party of 10 but now 2 are backing out.
What should I do?

Do I call and tell them it's only 8?
Would they make me change the res now and thus lose my time and day?
(with 8 it would almost impossible to get the same time and day now)

If I don't what do they do?
Do they still charge for 10?

Would then still seat if if only 8 show and not all 10?

Just tell them 2 couldn't make it when you show up. They will not charge you for those people.

I think you should tell them, especially if they're putting tables together, now a party of 2 can eat there. They shouldn't have to cancel your reservation, I would think they can just change it from 10 to 8.

They don't change your reservation, they cancel and then make you new ones.

The only ones I would worry about changing are any that are guaranteed by a credit card - like the princess dining or the dinner shows. Those are the only ones that would charge for your 2 no shows.

Otherwise, just let the hostess know when they seat you.

That's what I'm afraid of. Since it's less than a week, I'm afraid we would be out of luck now.
