Hello, Jean! It sounds like you have a big family gathering coming up at The Most Magical Place on Earth! While traveling with a large group is always fun, it can present some planning challenges, especially when making dining reservations. Not to worry, as the Disney Parks Moms Panel is here to the rescue!
Guests can now change certain aspects of their
Dining Reservations via their
My Disney Experience Accounts. You'll find this option listed on the right of your reservation information- just click the blue link to "Change Reservation" (on the
mobile app it says "Modify"). It is much harder to add guests though, as it is based upon availability only. You can also call Disney Dining at (407) 939-1947 and ask if it's possible or see if there is a different dining location that may have availability to accommodate your party.
Another idea is to have your friend or family member make a reservation for just themself at a similar time. Then I would suggest speaking with the dining location upon arrival to see if they can make accommodations and seat that person with your party. Since you'll all have reservations, it likely won't be an issue. For hard to get reservations, I have used the Reservation Finder Tool on the subscription-based Touring Plans website. It's straightforward to use, and I successfully scored one for
Oga's Cantina yesterday!
Best of luck, Jean! Please write back if there's anything else we can do. Happy Holidays!
