Well, hello there! Welcome to planDisney, Julie!
Oh my goodness, your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation will be here before you know it, so I'm glad to hear you are already starting to think about your
Advanced Dining Reservations! Let's be honest; the food is always the best part of any vacation, isn't it? But, of course, that goes double when it comes to all of the delicious culinary creations available throughout Walt Disney World!
Julie, you can adjust your party size for an existing Advanced Dining Reservation, but it is still subject to availability. Meaning, if your current reservation is for four Guests, but there is no table for five available at that time, you would not be able to adjust your party size. So, your best bet is to check on availability and adjust from there if possible.
To do so, start by logging into your
My Disney Experience account. Then, open the menu (the three horizontal lines in the bottom right corner) and select “Future Plans.” Next, scroll down until you see the dining reservation you would like to change and click on it. Then, click on “Modify” and adjust the number of Guests according to the new party size. You will then see all available times for that number of Guests. If you do see an available time, select the time and follow the prompts to update.
Now, if you don’t see anything available, don't lose faith, Julie! I recommend keeping a super close eye on the My Disney Experience app and keep trying to adjust your party size a few times a day. Reservation cancellations come through all the time, so you'll likely see times pop up if you check in every so often. I usually open the app about 2-3 times a day to check-in and see what's available, and this approach works really well for me!
I hope this answer has been helpful for you! We are a big bunch of Disney foodies
