We discovered today that some friends of ours who live near Orlando can only visit with us the first day of our trip.
So, we decided to see if they could meet us for dinner. We had ADRs at Whispering Canyon for 6:45 and we needed to change the number of people from four to eight. I realized it was a big jump so I thought I would call to be nice and change the number instead of just showing up and letting them know.
I called Disney Dining and was basically told they could not accommodate us with that number and there was nothing they could do.
So, I ended that call and called Whispering Canyon to ask them if they could help. I explained my situation and how I wanted to let them know and not just "show up." Not only did he say it was not a problem. He went into our ADR and changed it to reflect our new number.
So, don't hesitate to call your dining establishment to see what they can do if situations change. The establishment itself may have much more flexibility than the phone representative at the Disney call center.
