Ok, what will happen now? :O(

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

I posted yesterday asking about info for taking my husband (separated ) name off of the reservations for the hotel. (he is very adament that he is no longer going on the trip :O( )

But now I have ADR's that I need to take care of.

they were all made for 7 people, and for all of them we were able to confirm tables together rather than separate.

Do I call and have him taken off of the reservations for dinners, or do we just show up 6 of us rather than 7? (i don't want to have to cancel and rebook our times as I know that I will lose what I worked hard to get for the ADR's)

Anyone know what my options are?

Thanks so much

I would just show up with six people and apoligize for any inconvenience. It's not like they won't serve you just because one person didn't show up.

I have been seperated before, so I feel your pain.

I would call the reservations dept. about the ADR. Just ask if it is okay if only 6 come. If they act as if you need to re-book and it's some big deal, I would not call back, leave it be. Shouldn't be a huge deal, I am sure someone has gotten sick, etc. and the whole party hasn't shown.

Just my opinion. Hopefully someone knows more.

Have fun.

I won't bother changing your ADRs.It's not like you're trying to get another space for one more you have one less.

I've been seperated then divorced...hang in there things will get better for you!!! Going to WDW is a good way to make you feel better...believe me...been there ,done that and felt way better after our trip!

 

[a*lil*bit*goofy]

awww thanks so much guys for the hard words. i never thought I would be in this situation.

But yes, having my trip to look forward to helps somewhat. Its the after Disney crash that I am worried about, add that to the after disney back to reality crash. yikes. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other.

but in the meanwhile, I am disney dreaming. I can't wait to share the experience with my kids for their first time, they are going to be blown away. :O)

Thanks for the advice. Unless i hear otherwise i will follow what you all say and leave as is. Thanks so much!

I also would just leave them alone!!! Sorry about the seperation.

 

[bazzanoid]

Same here - leave them as they are unless you've had to supply your card details to guarantee the booking, in which case you would have to remove the extra person from the booking earlier than 48 hours before the ADR or your card will be charged when one less person shows up.....

Sorry to hear about the separation

I agree that it would be fine to leave them alone. Most of the tables where you would put 6 you would also put 7 so it shouldn't be a big deal to the seaters.

Actually, many Disney restaurants would put a party of 6 at a 6-top table and a party of 7 at an 8-top table. That said, I'd recommend just keeping things as they are for now.

Honestly, if you show up with six and the host/hostess gives you a hard time, I think a, "My husband and I have recently separated, so he is not here," would leave them absolutely bending over backwards for you. If I were the hostess, I would feel terrible!

 

[richard_andmel]

I think that's pretty good advice. Good luck.

 

[apirateslifeforme]

No advice, but

I'm going through a divorce, and having my Disney trip to look forward to has definitely helped, because I can see that there will still be fun times in my life even without him!

It is such a hard thing to go through, to have your future and all your plans taken away. Everyone told me in the beginning that it would get easier with time. I couldn't see how that was even possible then, because everything was so ugly, but they were right! My dh and I have been separated since October, and I'm starting to see a new future for myself, that will be happy, even if it wasn't what I had planned on. I never imagined that I could be a single parent, but my daughter and I are doing great. My new mantra has become, "I may be divorced, but I refuse to be bitter!"

I wish you the best, and hope you enjoy your time at Disney. You deserve it!

Hugs! Now go enjoy your trip!!

Been there done that I can actually say we've been (DS and myself) 6 times and on DCL 4 times and I if were still married....wouldn't have done that. He's not Disney. At least I got to raise my son right


Hang in there....things do get better

 

[BonnieA]

I have gone to WDW restaurants with one, even two, less than my ADR's were for. They didn't even bat an eye, no problems. If it was 1 or 2 more then I would be worried, but less, no worries.

 

[Disney Crazy Debbie]

I didn't see anyone else address this but I would keep it status quo except for those places you may have pre-paid like CRT or one of the dinner shows - Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue or the Spirit of Aloha. Other than that I don't see how it could be a problem.

It will get better. I am raising my DS16 alone and it is much better with just the two of us than the three because we would never have been able to vacation anywhere but Virginia Beach, where my ex-MIL lives, otherwise. My son is happier and probably better adjusted than if the situation had stayed the stay.
I am not bitter, just happy!

 

[DISNEYDUET]

I agree with the OP. Leave them be. It will just give you more elbow room! And hang in there!! My mother always says "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" and you know, She is right.
