ADR for my party plus others not staying on site?

[jknewberry]

Hello,
We are planning a trip for Feb/Mar 2017 and just learned that we will be in Orlando at the same time as my sister in law, her kids, and her mom! Our trips only overlap by about 2 days, so we were hoping to make a reservation for our party and hers to eat at the Wilderness Lodge the day we check in.

Can I do this, or can I only make ADRs for our party? There will be 7 of us (or 6 plus a not quite 3 year old) plus 4 of them for 11 total is that makes a difference.
Thank you!
Kelly

You can make ADRs for any number of people and they do not need to be staying on site or on your reservation as the only difference on site guests vs off site guests get is if they have to wait exactly 180 days or if 180 also would be from the 1st day of their package but they then get to book the next 10 days as well.

For ADRs you must count everyone including the not quite 3 year old as restaurants count bodies for fire code reasons so no matter how young or old everyone counts for ADRs even if they don't need a chair or aren't going to be eating their own plate.
