Table For 3 vs. Table For 4

[jhaig]

For a party of three, I've heard that you may have a better shot at getting the times and reservations you want by reserving a table for 4. Right or not? Does it really make a difference?

I've heard lots of people say that also, but we've always gone in even numbers, so I can't help you first hand.

Yes, it doesn sometimes make a difference. The only place I've been told that they actually have tables to seat only three are at Boma (I believe they're pushed against the wall on one side.) I don't know if this will change with the new reservation system, or if they're still looking at allocating a certain number of tables for 2,3,4,5, etc. or going by the actual table size itself. I'll be honest and say we did get an adr for 4 at 1900 Park Fare out of desperation and calling daily for weeks. I did not see any triangular tables so I didn't feel guilty.

So if I say there's three in my party (which there truly is - no guilt here!), we should end up with a table for four, right? I don't think any place would cram us around a table for two, and if almost no place else has tables for three, four is the way to go regardless.

'Ohana also has actual tables for three.

Most Disney restaurants have (hard-to-get) tables designated for one/two diners; (much more readily available) tables designated for three/four diners; tables for five/six...

Yes, O'hana's does have 3 seat tables too and they are too small in my opinion!

I think it makes zero difference.

I am going in May, have 3 in my party, and got ADR's for every restaurant I requested within 20 minutes of my requested time when calling on the 90 day mark.
