Yep - little annoying thing - you can often book for two - but not for one. It's really a crappy way to treat solos, IMO. But - they don't charge you for your friend/family member/partner that just didn't seem to make it with you that day!
And I usually make a call to reduce any reservations I had to do like that to one since I do hate telling a fake story at the podium!
If you don't want to call, if you make the reservation and then modify online and search for one guest, that same reservation time will always show. It's an easy way to change it.
Not for ‘Ohana or any others not set for solos in the system.
But there is no need to adjust it as there are NOT 1-tops.
Huh, I just tried it, you're right. Strange. In all the solo reservations I've made (I usually dine solo) I've never run into this issue. That said, Ohana has never appealed to me so I've never made an ADR there. Now I'm wondering what other places have this issue?
I appreciate I could book for two but reducing/amending bookings is more difficult not being able to ring up from overseas. Just wanted to check I wouldn't be charged for a no-show of half of the party.
That's the only one I've found consistently that has it.
My typical reply at the podium when dining solo is to smile and say "it's just me today". I can't remember ever having any reaction at all to that one. It's about as generic a statement as could be.And I usually make a call to reduce any reservations I had to do like that to one since I do hate telling a fake story at the podium!
But 'Ohana actually does have one or more tgree-tops.Although we’ve never eaten at ohana, we’ve had this glitch hit us as a family of 3, too.
Just like a table for 1 will have a second chair, a table for 3 will have 4 chairs. So we book for 4 and haven’t bothered to reduce it.
Not sure why those odd numbers throw Disney dining off so badly.
