Is this OK??

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

Please don't hate me! A couple days of our trip I made 2 reservations when I know we'll only have one sit down meal. this is our first trip to WDW and I have no idea what to expect of how well my triplets will behave! I wanted to cover myself. Will i get in trouble for this? will disney cancel one without me knowing? thanks...

I think it will be fine. We did this before, but we did cancel the one we did not go to.

Do you have them both at the same time or close to the same time? Or do you have one for lunch and one for dinner?

If you have them booked during the same timeframe Disney is telling people they can cancel one of them.

To answer the question posed in the title to your thread, I personally do not think it is okay. By booking more ADR's than you can use you are preventing someone else the opportunity.

I think as long as you cancel its fine. We had to cancel one of ours on friday. It wasnt that we made two of the same we had a large group so i had made one for the entire group and one just for me and dbf in case they with the kids were wiped. Turns out they go stuck in traffic and we had to cancel anyway. I would find it better if you cancel ahead of time i have a couple for sept that i need to do this with as I wasnt sure about something when i booked the dining but now we are so cancelled they get, but as long as you cancel you should be fine, i have done this before and they never got cancelled. If you are worried put them under a different name and number.

I have to agree with this poster.
If everyone did this there would be no reservations available.

I think it's a tad bit selfish...JMHO.

And yes, Disney CAN cancel one or both of your reservations if they realize the mistake. Then you're completely out of luck.

I think it is a little unfair when there are people saying they can't get any ADR because places are fully booked.

I have 3 kids and sometimes things don't always go according to plan - you just deal with it. Last year at one meal the 2 year old fell asleep at the table and didn't eat. Another time the 2 year old decided to act up the entire meal and didn't eat. Another meal the 6 year old decided he wasn't hungry and I had to pay for the buffet anyway even though he didn't eat.

I've made one ADR for each day of our visit. I'll try to make sure the kids get a rest in before we eat dinner. Some days we are going to eat an early TS lunch. If they eat they eat if they they don't we can bag it up and eat it later unless it's a buffet. We'll deal with it.

I would cancel one of them per day. If Disney finds out they can cancel one or both on you and then you won't have any ADR's.
My thing is I want to try switching some of my ADR's...so far I am unable to since they are telling me there are no openings at the places I want...Which is fine, but knowing there may be people HOLDING ADR's they won't use since they "doubled up" burns me.

 

[Blessed_wth_Triplets]

I totally understand...already cancelled the other ADR's..I only had 2 extra anyways.

I had made some double and triple reservations during my planning when trying to decide where to go for my trip. (I was trying to coordinate with another family and we hadn't had the chance to talk about it yet.)

I recently called to cancel some times I knew I wasn't going to use and the CM went through my entire reservation and had me cancel all double or triple reservations. She even noted that one morning I had a pirate adventure booked for my three children and an ADR for chef mickeys at the same time period. She had me cancel one of those.

I had made most of my final decisions, so it wasn't a big deal.
