Reservations for 5 - we need to add 1 ?

[disneyagain]

I have all my reservations for our trip 12/17 - 12/22 for the 5 of us -we've invited our niece to join us. I was able to get the free dining for her, when adding her to one of our rooms. I was also able to add her to our ADR's for 3 of our 5 meals. The two I couldn't change were Fantasmic at Mama Melrose and Chef de France (regular dining - not CP package). I'll keep trying to increase to 6, but what are my chances of trying to add one, as a walk in? It's such a busy time of year, I'm curious if anyone has experience with this? I feel like the table will be for 6, not 5 anyway.

I'm trying to avoid re-working the whole trip (yes it was my idea to invite her, so I've only got my self to blame for this one!

You're probably right about your party of 5 taking up a table for 6. Although the CMs would probably try to be accommodating, I wouldn't count on a walk-in at that time of year. I think your best bet is to call Disney Dining and see if they will just convert your party of 5 to 6, since it realistically wouldn't be taking up any more space.

I bet you'll be fine at Chefs de France, but I don't think you'll be able to walk up with an extra person for the Fantasmic package.

Yep, drop an inquiry first so you'll know beforehand.

I'm feeling pretty lucky right now. I found fantasmic in 12/21 for 6 so I grabbed it ( that was our chef de France day) and chef de France on the 19th ( that was our fantasmic day). Such an easy switch. I slept much better last night
