Hi, Lisa, and welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're gearing up for your Walt Disney World Vacation, which will be here before you know it! Dining at Walt Disney World Resort is quite possibly my favorite topic, so let's dig in!
Lisa, it seems like you're pretty familiar with the process of making an
Advance Dining Reservation at a Walt Disney World Resort Table-Service Restaurant. At the participating restaurants,
Mobile Dine Check-In on the
My Disney Experience App has been a game-changer for my family, because it really helps to streamline the process of communicating our preferences and our party's information to the Cast Members.
In my experience, there is typically an option to add up to one person to your reservation at the time of check-in. You can always check to see if you can modify your Advance Dining Reservation by visiting your Future Plans page, clicking on the reservation that needs to be changed, then selecting "Modify." You'll then have the option to change the party size, date, and time of the reservation, based on the availability of the restaurant at that time.
I recommend checking back often, especially the day before your reservation, to make any changes to your Advance Dining Reservation. Happily, Cast Members will always do their best to accommodate your party, and they will kindly let you know if they can add another person to your dining party if you visit the host stand.
Lisa, if you need any tips on where to find the best snacks, meals, or drinks, I'm your girl! Additionally, be sure to check out the
Disney Dining Plan to help you plan ahead for your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation - it's my favorite way to save time and money on Disney dining!
Bon appetit!
