ADR question with infant - how many ppl?

[newgirlhere]

When searching for ADRs, should an infant be included in the number of ppl for the reservation? Does it matter? Would one have more luck searching for reservations for 4 than 5, assuming the 5th is an infant?

Include the infant in your dining reservations. Although there is no charge for the infant, he/she is included in the maximum guest capacity that a restaurant can hold.

You need to include every person, regardless of how young or old, eating or not, because of fire code regulations.

If you are having difficulty finding a reservation for 5, try looking for 6 because the Disney reservation system sometimes has difficulty with odd numbers. It wants to fill every seat at a table and most tables are for 2-4-6-etc rather than odd numbers. If you find a table for 6, you will not be charged for the "missing" person when you check in at the restaurant.

I agree, include the baby

As the others have said, include the infant in your total count. I didn't know I had to my last trip and was kindly asked by pretty much all the CMs to include infants in my future reservations upon checking in. That being said - we weren't turned away either, but we did have to wait a bit longer past our ADR times so that we could be accommodated.
