Dining plan and number in party

[KCarr2000]

I am trying to plan ahead for a possible trip the week before Christmas. So far I have a room reserved at Coronado Springs with free dining. We did this two years ago but I did it late in the game and was not able to get two of the dining reservations that I wanted - Ohana and Cinderalla's Royal Table. I am trying to plan ahead for this trip, but I really have no idea how many of us will go - it could be 2, 3 or 4 of us. If I make reservations for 4 of us, can I change it to 2 or 3 closer to time? I know from last time that the reservation system won't allow me to double up on reservations for the same time, making one for 2 people and another for 4 people. Cinderalla's Royal Table is probably the biggest priority, so I'm thinking making a reservation for one dinner for two and another evening for four, same with Ohana. That way I can cancel the necessary one closer to time. I feel like I'm being a hog here, but cancelling the second will give someone else the opportunity to get the reservation.... any advice? Oh, and I know that I'll be lucky to get at least dinner at CRT the first morning that it's available, so any advice there would be appreciated as well - I'm thinking that I will try to make that reservation first and for later in our week.

Make the reservation for the largest group you think you will have. Its easy to downsize your group, but its sometimes impossible to add people.

Because you have the DDP, you will not need to pay when you book CRT. As powellrj suggested, book for the largest number of people you will have in your party, you will not be charged if fewer actually show up.
