Are ADRs easier to get if you have an even number of people in your group?

I'm curious. Are ADRs easier to get if you have an even number of people in your group as opposed to an odd number? I seem to have a harder time getting ADRs for a group of 5 than when I book for a group of 6 or 8 (our party size changes depending on the day).

For example, I tried twice to get an ADR for a character breakfast for a party of 5, even asking for 2 separate tables, but no availability both times. Then I called back and requested the exact same breakfast on the exact same day for a party of 6 and was given two times to choose from. I made all three calls within a 1-1/2 hour time frame because I'm slightly OCD....okay, I am.

Wouldn't a party of 5 be seated at the same table as a party of 6?

Please, enlighten me!

Your probably right. As weird as it sounds they must block off tables for even #'s. I am a family of seven but really didn't have a problem cause I call 7:00am on my 180 day. So it would be hard to tell me no.

IMO they are. We are a party of 4 and I had no trouble getting any of our ADR's. I even added a few just a couple of weeks ago with no trouble.

Sorry that your having such a hard time. It really makes no sense seeing that 5 or 6 should sit at the same size table.

We had an easy time with our 5's and 7's....might have just been bad luck??

I don't know if this is true or not, but a couple CM's at Disney Dining told me that 5 was the hardest # to get an ADR for.

The weird thing is, as a party of 5, we have been seated at tables designed for 4 and tables for 6. You would think this would make it easier.
