What happens if you are late

[Mimi Q]

for an ADR? Just 15 minutes or so. I can't change my ADR time as there is nothing else available at LTT that afternoon, but I am afraid I will be a few minutes late due to a BBB Boutique appointment.

I wouldnt worry if your late u'll still get in! I get stuck on rides all the time but i still get on!

Worst case scenario..they give away your table and you have to wait as if you don't have a reservation.

Best case..they seat you fairly quickly even though it is your fault you are late.

I would try not to be late.

Two weeks ago, I was afraid that we would be a few minutes late for our ADR at 50's PT. I called Disney Dining from our resort to ask if they had anything later that evening, but they did not. I was unsure if we should cancel the ADR or try to make it (we had 5 small kids in our group, so I didn't want to rush everyone and risk someone being cranky). The CM said not to cancel if we thought we would be just a few minutes late. She said they would hold the table for 10-15 min. We decided to go and had no problems (we actually got there exactly at our ADR time or maybe a minute past).

We were late to WCC last week for our dinner ressie thanks to MK closing early b/c of Grad Night (never go to WDW during Grad Night ) and then they changed boats at MK so we were late (almost 30 mins) but we were seated within 10 mins. I would just keep yor ressie and get there whenyou can

Thanks. I hope we will not be late, but I don't want to be stressing out if we are.

When you make your reservations they will advise you to be there 15 minutes before your scheduled time. That's good advice and we try to follow it. If you are late, its up to the CM at the podium as to how long you wait. What is supposed to happen is that you would be treated like a walk-up, but sometimes they get you in quicker.

My father-in-law made us about 20-25 minutes late for our Crystal Palace breakfast ADR in February. When we arrived, I thought I would go up and ask if we could still get a later ADR for that morning (since I had thought the ADR would be gone), the hostess said not to worry and she sat us in about 3 minutes. I was shocked! She said it wasn't a problem as I thanked her about 30 times.

As much as my MIL & I griped at my FIL that morning, he was NEVER late for an ADR the rest of our trip
