Hello and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I can certainly understand not wanting to leave anyone out of the fun. Making sure and hoping that all party guests are able to make some unique
Disney Dining experiences has always been part of my planning process, too. However, situations arise and your good intentions fall short. The good news is that Disney understands and just asks that you honor your reservation with your remaining party guests. You will not be charged for having only 7 of your 9 party guests. Go ahead and put your worries to rest.
Diane's Tip of the Day: If character dining is a must for your visit, I recommend
Chef Mickey's which is located inside Disney's Contemporary Resort. Mickey and Pals will certainly put a smile on your face, but be ready to join along on some fun!
Have a MAGICAL day and "SEE YOU REAL SOON!"
