    I just need to add a special request. It’s my daughter’s 5th birthday & we want to sit where we can see the carousel. Is there anyway to add this request once booking is confirmed?

    Royal Greetings, Raven!

    Let me first begin by wishing your daughter a very happy birthday from all of us here at planDisney. “Happy Birthday!”. We just celebrated my son’s birthday at Hollywood Studios last weekend, and boy, was it magical. He didn’t have any special requests other than Slinky Dog Dash. So I am happy to report that we did in fact play in Andy’s Backyard and sprung through with two rides on Slinky Dog.

    When it comes to special seating requests, I recommend giving Walt Disney World Resort a call. A Cast Member there will be able to better help in regards to adding any special requests. On the day of your reservation, I recommend arriving at your dining location 15-30 minutes early so that you can kindly remind the host of your table request. Being early shows enthusiasm and may increase your chances of getting your preferred table. 

    This past March was my dad’s first visit to Galaxy’s Edge. And when I say he is the biggest Star Wars fan, I mean he is quite literally the biggest Star Wars fan. So much so, his guest bathroom in his home is covered in Star Wars memorabilia turned into decoration because he ran out of room in his office for it. We had a reservation at Oga’s Cantina with no special requests because all he wanted was to go in and have a drink. When we arrived, we found out it was a standing reservation, so we kindly asked if there was any chance of getting a table to sit at. And after a little bit of Pixie Dust, some extra wait time, we were in and sitting down together. It was truly the best day ever. Experiencing this with my dad was even better. Just sharing this small story with you puts me in the feels. 

    I can’t wait for all the emotions, memories, and fun you’ll be having with your daughter very soon. Soak it all in and consider even adding Memory Maker to help preserve these new memories. Until then, if there’s anything else you need, please let us know!

    Dream Big, Princess!
