Hiya Shawn!
Thank you so much for sending us your question and welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! Shawn, you are only one short month away from your Disney vacation - can you believe it? I am so excited for you to experience the magic, and I am honoured that you came to us during your planning process.
Unfortunately, unpredictable things happen, and I am sorry to hear that not everyone in your party will be able to join. There are things to do to adjust your plans! For your dining reservations, simply go into your
My Disney Experience account and click on "My Plans" on the website or "Future Plans" in the
My Disney Experience mobile app. Once you have located your dining reservation, you should be able to click on "Modify Reservation." Thankfully, making your party smaller is typically easier than the opposite, so you should have no issue changing the party size to the correct one. As for theme park reservations, you can also go into the "My Plans" section or "Future Plans" on the mobile app and locate the park reservation that you would like to cancel. You can either cancel the reservation yourself or ask them to cancel their park reservation. Also, remember that if you need help with any of this, you can always
contact a Cast Member via chat, email or phone. Indeed, I always turn to Cast Members when I have questions as they truly are real-life magic makers and will be able to fix these plans for you!
Now, Shawn, you will be visiting the theme parks at an especially magical time! With
The World's Most Magical Celebration in full swing, there are so many new treats, cavalcades and fireworks to experience. Also at the same time as your magical vacation is the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival - my personal favourite! With colourful food offerings, breathtaking views of EPCOT in full bloom and special activities and performances, this festival is sure to make your vacation unique. And did I mention a butterfly garden?
I hope this was helpful, Shawn, and that you and your loved ones will be able to experience the magic all together real soon. If you have any other questions in the time leading up to your trip, don't hesitate to reach out! We are always happy to help, and you're as welcome as can be.
Have a magical day, and I am sending you all the pixie dust for your upcoming visit,
Ariane
