Just Checking - ADR number of people

[CarlyMur09]

Hi, everyone.

I have a vacation (All DVC - Poly, OKW, and CCV) in late April/early May, and our 180 days is upcoming on Friday. There are 7 of us that are going, so I know what we have as of now

One of my friends from college is working down there through the College Program, and she’ll be there through May, I believe, so we do plan on meeting up at least one of those days.

My question is, if I want to invite her to come eat with us at one of the restaurants we have ADRs for, I know we need to have 8 on the ADRs. As we don’t know her schedule right now, would it be safe just to make every ADR we have for 8, even though we have 7 people on our DVC reservation.(No DDP) we won’t get pentalized if we just show up with 7 for most of our meals?

Thank you!

You only get charged the $10/person penalty if nobody shows up.

My son is not yet a definite for my next trip, but I have made all of my ADTs for 6. He would be number 6.

Ok, thanks, all. That’s what I thought, but my sister, who’s normally the one to do all this, wasn’t sure, and she didn’t want to get penalized for not having the one person with us for most of our meals.

Its actually easier for you and Disney the way you are planning. They can reduce the size of a reservation much easier than you showing up with her and trying to increase the size.
