Bonjour and Bienvenue, Brooke!
It's always a treat to help a fellow Guest plan their next visit to Disneyland Paris, but I'm especially delighted that you've stopped by with a question about my very favorite magical topic:
Character Dining!
Why do I love it so much? Well, character dining experiences are not only a great way to enjoy a filling meal that will fuel you for a full day in the theme parks, but also to spend some quality time with your favorite characters without queuing! Because character dining is quite popular, you're wise to secure your booking in advance. Since not everyone on the booking will be able to make it to the meal, I suggest seeing if it is possible to modify the booking through the
Disneyland Paris app or through the website. If not, you'll want to speak directly with a Cast Member at the restaurant, as each dining location determines its own seating policy. When I spoke with a Disneyland Paris representative using the online chat, I was informed that while typically a party will be seated if the dining party only differs from the booking party by one, this is ultimately up to the Cast Member's discretion at the time of check-in.
Since I mentioned the Disneyland Paris app, I wanted to make sure you were aware that it can do so much more than just store your dining reservations. It's also your ticket to the magic and a handy tool that will enable you to maximize your time in the theme parks by providing helpful maps,
mobile food & beverage ordering, and the option to bypass standby queues with the purchase of
Disney Premier Access. It's truly pocket-sized pixie dust!
I'm sorry that I was unable to give you a definitive answer about your dining reservation, Brooke, but I hope that the information I did share is helpful. If any additional questions arise as you finalize your plans, feel free to come see us again at
planDisney. You've got a friend in me!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
