I would agree with switching to a non EMH morning if you can - you will get better “value” for your breakfast reservation benefit without having to contend with the EMH crowds.

I think you are totally missing the point.. No one is suggesting having a booking for two and turning up with three people
No big deal - no one loses out - someone might win - someone might lose... But it certainly increases your personal odds of getting the booking you want! Edited at 07:38 PM. |

OP
Also its worth looking for a table for more people than you might need. So if you want a table for 4 try looking for a table for 5 / 6 / 7 etc. The system can some time strangely show you there is a table available for 5 + people but not 4. I book it then modify the booking downwards to four people. Again depends on the restaurant and its layout / rules they have put in place. The system sometimes saves bigger tables for bigger parties but you can cheat that with the approach above. I must say doing it this way I have never ended up on a big table for 6 with 4 people so they do rearrange them after the event / on the day to get in as many people as possible. These systems are complex and very clever Just got to know how to get what you want from them Edited at 07:45 PM. |

They do have the correct numbers of people though. A party of 2 and a party of 1 is, to them, the same as a party of 3. So you grab a 2 if you can find it and then add a 1 later.
You're correct that this would be a problem at dinner when it's allocated tables, but it's free-seating at breakfast and lunch - so they only need to know how many people they have, not what numbers they are grouped into. I did this and said to a CM that we were single bookings but eating as a group and he said it wasn't a problem at all and to just sit wherever and move tables around as we needed. nb. this is just for Be Our Guest - I have no idea if you can do this at other restaurants. |

Not at BoG lunch though as you choose your own seating generally. That said, we were seated one time we went for breakfast so I personally would continue to try for the actual party number.
