Dining reservation with infant

[corgi_monster]

Hi! This is the first time I will be travelling with a baby and it's a whole new experience!

We are a group of 5 adults and 1 infant (8 months at the time of travel). Do I make dining reservations for a party of 5 or 6?

Thanks!

Six. You will need a spot for the baby.

Include the baby in your reservation. You will not have to pay for a meal for him/her even at a buffet, but they need to know to have a big enough table.

They also need to know for safety reasons. If there is an emergency, they will need an accurate head count of how many guests are in the restaurant at the time.

True, but for an accurate count they should count how many people arrive per party, not how many are on the reservations. Some people over reserve tables "just in case" their friends can meet them.

Yes, one would hope that they do count as guests arrive, not just rely on a piece of paper. But they will also want to make sure that they don't go over their max capacity at any time when planning on that night's seating arrangements. (Although I can't think of any TS restaurant at DLR that is so small that this would be a problem.)
