Splitting parties up

[Mason7AK]

Hi, We have a trip Dec 2nd - 6th. I made my ADR's a few weeks ago and we were fortunate to get most of the places we wanted to eat. We are a party of six, with two adults and four children. The kids are 14, 6, 5, and 2. At two places: 1900 Park Fare (8:20 pm ADR) and Boma's (4:45 pm ADR), they had no tables for 6 and placed us at two tables - one for four and one for two. The DD CM said they will try to place us "near each other". I am wondering if we will be able to get a table together once we check in at the restuarants? Have you all had luck getting a table together even though you were booked with two seperate tables? Given the ages of the three youngest, we are hoping to sit together! Otherwise one adult (probably me!) will have to sit with the three youngest and DH will get to sit with our DD14. DH and DD14 would probably LOVE that, but poor mom wouldn't
Any experiences?
TIA
Angela

this past may and were told when we made ADR's that we would be at two tables and we were but they were pushed about two inches from each other! So no problems because the reservation is in one name so I would think the staff are prepared for that. Good Luck

I have had to make two ADR's many times, in each case we were seated together. Once at 50's Prime Time we had three tables but they were next to each other all in the same small room.

The last time I had to book two ADR's was this August at Boma.

I've had this happen more than once. So far (knock on wood) I have always been seated right next to the party. It may have been a different table (some pushed together and some not) but we were at least right next to each other. Just remind the CMs of what you are wanting when you check in.

Usually they tell us we will be at 2 tables and we end up all at one table.

The only problem we have ever had was at Tony's at the Magic Kingdom this past July. They sat us at two different table and the two tables had two different waiters. With some people in our group on the DDP and some not on the plan, the bills got totally messed up.

Otherwise, we have never had a problem anyplace else.

Just back traveling with a party of 9- was told seperate tables at every place we made ADRs for. We never sat at seperate tables- I wouldn't worry about it.
