Disney World Quick Tips: Count ALL of your family for ADRs

Most people know you need to make Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs) for your favorite table service restaurants at Walt Disney World.  ADRs can be made up to 180 days before your vacation.  One thing that some families don’t do is count ALL their family members in their reservations.

Many families with infants or toddlers, who will not be eating off the menu or buffet, will not include those younger members in their dining reservation number.  Make sure you include EVERYONE in your party number, even if they are not eating.

Fire codes allow for a certain number of guests in the restaurant at a time- not a certain number of eaters!  So don’t leave off your baby in your party number.  I would hate for a family to be turned away because the restaurant had reached capacity.
