Disney Priority Seating

[kawanku]

I apologize if this question has been asked before. I will be at WDW the week of Dec 17 and my DD would love to meet with Cinderella for dinner so I booked PS at Grand Floridian. The problem is that the reservation is for 4 (everything was fully booked) and I have 3 kids (8,5 and 2). Do you think they will seat us OK or one of us can't be in the dinner?

Thanks for any advice.

When you made your ADR, did you indicate that there would be 5 people (only 4 eating and 1 probably in a high chair)? Children under 3 don't pay to eat as long as they eat off an adult plate at a menu driven restaurant or at a buffet, but I do think they count them when you make your reservation. I guess I'm wondering why you made your ADR for only 4 people when you have 5 in the family.

I don't think they will turn you away, but you might have a longer wait if they can't fit you in at the table they expected to use.

I'm sure you'll be okay. Your two year old will be in a high chair so they'll accomodate him/her. I've had to add or drop people from my seatings and have always done it at the podium with no problem.

The reason I made it for 4 instead of 5 because there is no other opening during our stay (12/17-12/25) and DD really wants to have dinner with Cinderella. I did tell them about my 2 yr old kid. I took ADR on what I can get and I just want to make sure the worst case probably is for longer waiting time. Thanks for everybody.

I would show up extra early, and explain the problem at the check in desk. The problem will be that you will have to be at a different size table than what you have booked. You are going from a more average table for 4 to a larger table that will seat 5 or 6. Hopefully they will be able to accomodate you, but I would go early so that you have a better chance.
