Did not know this until this trip: https://plandisney.disney.go.com/question/charged-one-person-not-dining-reservation-ie-reservations-614731/ I can find ADRS for 3 where there is NOTHING for 2!

I felt a little bit skeezy at first, but dang if I don't feel a little discriminated against as a couple trying to find bookings. I am trying to hemorrhage money at your resort, Disney! Why won't you let me?

12:56pm by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

You didn't realize you wouldn't be charged as long as one person shows up?

12:57pm by utang44

Exactly, @utang! this is really a game changer for us- suddenly I can get ADRs at Wailulu and Narcoosees! I am guessing it doesn't work for the ticketed sorts of experiences like HDDR, CRT, or Tea Experience but that seems fair.

1:00pm by joeyjojojuniorshabadoo

Yeah, I'm still not happy about those locations being virtually unavailable to our traveling party of 2!

1:34pm by Ali Ababwa

I noticed this on my last trip and started looking for ADRs for 3 and there was so much more availability. When I went to eat I just said we only have 2 now.

1:51pm by little1crh

Agree @joeyjojo that it feels yucky to someone like me who usually travels with party of 2. But it makes sense when I remember it's all about the Benjamin's. WDW wants 4 at a table to double the per table rate.

1:55pm by evamarie320

And I have t tried it, but I think the prepay events like CRT will refund you for the people who didn't join you. I think HDDR is tougher to squeeze money back from but not impossible. Not sure about dessert parties.

1:56pm by evamarie320

Oh yes, book for what you can, the show up with what you've got! It's their own fault for limiting the options for certain party sizes with how they seat and set up restaurants.

2:11pm by utang44

Always book 4. No such thing as party of 2 at Wailulu.

2:21pm by Jennyhirsch

Not sure if this would make you feel skeezy but if you want a prepaid reservation like HDDR or CRT and need to add a 3rd person to find a reservation, you can make the third person an infant and it won't charge you.

3:16pm by HalfBludPrincess

Thanks for tip @jenny! I just booked Wailulu for lunch on our arrival day at Poly which has TONS of availability all day for 4, and zero availability for 2. Ok, they forced me!

Just 1 ADR to be aware of, we had The Plaza booked with 3 and arrived with 2. They would not seat us. Said the table top is specifically for 3. I've not been back since

I'd have introduced them to my imaginary friend then, @youcan.

Hi friends! It's been a minute. Has anyone ever done an events only trip? How was it? My kids and I decided to do only AH/MNSSHP trip at the beginning of August. 3 nights @ BWI. AH @ HS, AH @ EP and MNSSHP on night 3!

We've done AH at MK twice and it's always a huge hit with everyone. Hoping the event at EP and HS are big wins too.

38 min ago by DeepInTheHeartofTexas

Was also pleasantly surprised that the discounted DVC tickets for the event + party were $30 cheaper than 3 day park tickets!

37 min ago by DeepInTheHeartofTexas

On my solo trips I tend to do approximately zero rides and instead do shows, resorts, shopping, happy hour, tours, boat rides, etc., and my days are full.

20 min ago by Ali Ababwa

Just checked into CR. Used TP room finder and sample request 5 days ago to request a specific room via email and chat with CM. Was given the room 2 doors away from the one we requested - system worked great!

4:11pm by dmwiggins

Ooh that's good to know- enjoy. Garden wing is gorgeous

4:20pm by hodg

It certainly is. We have a great ground floor patio looking out over green space and the water bridge coming to and from WL. Very peaceful.

Perfect! So glad it worked for you.

Congrats! this is good news! Is 5 days the recommended time frame in the new system? Or are we still figuring it out?

Took a peek at the Plan Disney Website. Erm. You guys were not kidding about the tone and content and how you need to write those responses.... Oddly... they almost read VERY AI. Dont they? But because it sounds SO AI, I wonder how they even screen.

I don't mind the effusive positivity, but the redirect to a completely unrelated link is what bugs me. "You have question about Lightning Lanes? You know a fun place is to contemplate Lightning Lane questions? A cabana at Blizzard Beach!"

3:47pm by TumbleMonkeys

Schlop wasn't my word - I was admiring the choice of word - has a response disappeared from the thread?

4:25pm by hodg

No-still there-it's @destiny's word :-)

4:26pm by hodg

We are staying at OKW with 2 EVCs. Would it be better to go to DS then take a bus to HDDR or get ourselves to MK and take the boat to HDDR? or another option? We are trying to avoid FW internal busea. We plan to see the 4p show

3:42pm by momshappyplace

From DS you will have to take the bus to FW and then the internal bus. A bus to WL or CR and then boat would work, I would go to MK and boat . I think it is easier. Give yourself at least 90 minutes.

4:04pm by PrincipalTinker

Is spending money an option? Use a Minnie Van? They deop off at HDDR venue, not at FtW bus stop!

4:06pm by Jennyhirsch

I was wondering if a minivan can take two EVCs? If they can, that is what I would do.

4:11pm by PrincipalTinker

Yeah like @jenny said, take an accessible Minnie Van that has space for 2 ECVs

4:12pm by KLuck

Booked at POR and requested that we'll have a dog. We have a standard room. Thinking of upgrading to a preferred to be closer to the main area/ bus stop. For spring time surprise. Would upgrading change availability for a dog friendly room?

Thank you @Dell795. This helps a lot. I'll check out the room finder to see the building locations and room categories.

1:51pm by WildernessPixie

We've stayed twice w/ our dog at POR and were in bldgs. 80 and 85. Both were standard rooms on the 1st floor, which we requested with the dog.

3:12pm by MicheleandtheBeast

Thank you @MicheleandtheBeast. I haven't put in room requests yet because I wasn't sure if it would make any conflicts with having a dog. Ground floor would be a lot easier to take our dog out.

3:59pm by WildernessPixie

NDR. Hey friends. Some of you know this already, but Friday will be the day for my 10-year-old's open heart surgery. I just completed the 20-hr drive to Mayo Clinic in MN (over two days), and I'm waiting for my husband and kiddo to get off the plane...
