Hello, Carolyn!
Welcome to planDisney with an excellent question about dining reservations! I am happy to hear that you will soon be making magical summer memories at the Walt Disney World Resort!
To modify your dining reservation, open the
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device, tap the three horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen and select
My Plans. Tap your dining reservation once you find it and select
Modify to change party size, date, and time. You can also
sign in to your Disney account and visit
My Plans. Scroll down to find your dining reservation and select
Change Reservation.
If you are unable to make modifications, I recommend that you keep checking the app as other Guests may end up canceling reservations closer to your travel dates. You can also try booking a second reservation for the other Guests dining with you. If you are successful at making a separate reservation for the same date and time, arrive at the restaurant earlier and ask Cast Members if you can be seated together or close to each other. Please note that they will do their best to accommodate you, but requests are not guaranteed.
I hope this information is helpful, Carolyn! Come back to visit us if you have additional questions and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
