This will be our first trip to Disney in 8 years (and the first for 3 of my kids). We're really looking forward to it! Anyway, there are 8 of us in my group. Some friends (a family of 3) will be there at the same time and wanted to join us for dinner on our first Saturday night at Chef Mickey's. I called 90 days out and made a PS for 11, but now the other family of 3 has had to change their itinerary and won't be able to join us.
I didn't think I really needed to call and change the number in my PS, but decided to be nice and tell them it would now be 8 and not 11. Well, the CM explained to me that I would basically lose that PS to another larger group when I showed up and told them we were 8. We might have to wait a lot longer for a seat. I don't really understand how they could accomodate 11 in a timely manner, but not 8. I just kept the PS and will keep my fingers crossed, as the other times available for 8 were much later (after 9:00 PM and we have young kids).
Has anyone ever had a problem showing up with a smaller group and losing a PS because of it?
Thanks for your input.
