Ressies from 3 to 4 people

[brytorlyn]

DD20 has decided to crash our January trip to Disney. There is no problem adding her to our room but I am worried about the dining ressies. Do I need to call and cancel everything and re-book or should we just go and hope we can add her at the restaurant. At the moment we are DH and I and DD10. I know that as three people we are usually at a table for 4 anyway....

Any thoughts?

Try to see if you can find ADRs for 4 at the places you're already scheduled to go (don't cancel your current ones until after you find the new one!). Continue to search for the new ADRs, even once you're down in Orlando. For those where you're still stuck at 3, call and see if you hit the CM jackpot and they'll let you adjust it.

If they won't, then go to the restaurants when they open for your meal and see if an extra person can bee added. Be prepared that some of the most overbooked restaurants (Le Cellier, 'Ohana, Chef Mickey, etc.) may not be very accommodating. Hopefully it all works out for you! Sending some pixie dust your way!

Thanks for the Pixie Dust.

I called and managed to add her to most ressies...including Le Cellier. Only problem we had was with 'Ohana. The agent was not able to get that one for 4.

She did actual tell me to go ahead and try just bringing her along and we might be okay. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I would keep trying or ask your agent to keep trying - people's plans change, so things do open up. 'Ohana is one of the most popular places, so walking-up and adding someone might not work so easily. If you don't get a new ADR, then have a back-up plan in mind.
