Will I lose my specific table at HDD if I cancel one person?

I will be booking my ADRs next week. HDD category 1 will be one of the first I book, in order to get the best table possible. There will be 3 or 4 of us, depending if DD25 comes. I believe they have tables for 3, so I am worried that if DD25 decides not to come, and I cancel her, they will change our table to one for 3, which may not be as good as the one I originally booked. I understand the setup as we've been there a handful of times. I'm hoping for the center table in front of the stage

It doesn't matter how many in your party show up. Book it for four, and they won't charge you if three show up.

Wait, I may have misspoke. Is HDD a pay in advance ADR? If so, I believe you have to cancel the one person in advance, to get their refund. So....is it worth the $$ to pay for the table you want?
