Cancel reservation for change in party #?

[ELG13]

We had 6 people now we have 5. The man on the phone e said we didn't need to change reservations since we are only going down by one person. Does this sound correct?

 

[drizgirl]

That's correct. If at least part of your party shows up you won't be charged a penalty. Plus a part of 5 would need the same size table a party of 6 would need.

The only exception would obviously be if the meal is prepaid.

I concur. I had a reservation for two for Tony's Town Square a while back. One of my colleagues was maybe going to go to MK with me before a conference. I ended up doing a solo day in the park. It was no big deal when I showed up for the reservation by myself.

I will pile on...the CM was correct.

We often have reservations where 1 or 2 guests might drop off and it is only an issue with a prepaid meal.

 

[DisneyFreak]

This is correct. We have had a party size drop by one, sometimes two, and we have not had to make adjustments to our dinning reservation.

We've done this and with a pre-paid they will give you a Disney gift card for the amount of the pre-paid person that didn't show up. At least that was what happened with us the last time we had a part of group miss a pre-paid meal.

Yes, we've had that happen as well. But it's not guaranteed, so I wouldn't count on it. I would definitely call and adjust any prepaid reservation just to be safe.

Could someone give me an example of a prepaid meal, unless you are talking about holding the reservation with your credit card.

Hoop de Do, Cinderella's Royal Table, Aloha, and I think Mickey's Backyard BBQ.

All reservations require a credit card to secure them, but a few are price fixed and must be paid for at the time of booking.

It's true- I have done it...I have a husband that doesn't really want to go with us to WDW... but he does for a few days- I never know how much he will be able to go due to work, so we make the reservations and then he comes to as much as he can, and we just tell them he is not here when we show up... For us, we go from 7 to 6, so it makes it easier on the restaurant...

Thanks! Learn something new each day.

We had a reservation for Victoria and Alberts for our 40th wed anniversary and my DW got sick the day before our reservation (stomach virus) and they were very acommodating about allowing us to cancel without any penalty

The thought crossed my mind (very briefly) That would be someting honeymoon at Disney, anniversary at DIsney and divorce at Disney. That's provided she did not kill me first (last meal @ Victoria and Alberts that might be a Disney first) Ha HA
