Hi there, Melissa! I'm so glad you were able to follow the trail of pixie dust we left out for you and found us here at planDisney!
I'm so excited to hear about your upcoming trip to
Walt Disney World Resort. With just a few days left before your trip, I imagine you're feeling a little like Cinderella waiting for the clock to strike midnight! Speaking of Cinderella, it sounds like you have an enchanting meal scheduled for
Cinderella's Royal Table and you're looking to add one more Guest. Let me see if I can grab my magic wand and turn this pumpkin of a problem into a carriage for you!
Melissa, to the best of my knowledge, Cinderella's Royal Table will need to have the total number of Guests included on your reservation. However, fear not! I have a little pixie dust up my sleeve that may help you add an extra Guest to your fairytale dinner.
First, I would try modifying your reservation a few times a day leading up to your trip. This is as easy as bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Log in to your account online, hover over the
My Disney Experience tab and click My Plans. Scroll down until you find your Cinderella's Royal Table reservation listed and click Change Reservation. From here, change your party size and click Search. You can also try searching while on the go by using your
My Disney Experience app! Tap the icon that looks like three stacked lines in the bottom right corner, then tap Future Plans. Click on your reservation, tap modify and change your party size. Personally, I've had a lot of luck being able to modify my reservation the day before (or even the day of!) my scheduled dining reservation, as that's when Guests most often change or cancel their plans.
Second, if you're unable to modify your reservation before your arrival, I think you'll have the best luck by talking to a Cast Member at the restaurant. I would recommend stopping by the podium in front of
Cinderella's Royal Table as early as you can when you arrive at
Magic Kingdom Park. The wonderful Cast Members will always do their best to see if they can sprinkle a little magic on the situation!
Melissa, you are sure to have a truly memorable time experiencing
The World's Most Magical Celebration! I can't wait to hear what you think of all the magic that awaits you around every corner (especially
Beacons of Magic and
Disney Enchantment)!
Your Fairy Godmother in planning,
Michelle
