    I'd think book for 4 show up with 3 instead of the other way around, but I don't have any personal experience with this.

    Unless you are talking about one of the restaurants that charges you for cancelling, I would definitely book the four.

    Though it might not matter that much either way, at most restaurants a party of three will use the same tables as a party of four.

    I did not know some restaurants charge for cancelling? I am looking for a ADR at places like whispering canyon cafe, beaches and cream, maybe a character meal like crystal palace.

    The would charge you for a complete no-show but not for arriving with less in your party. Go ahead and book for 4. I had two reservations for a party of 3 and showed up with 2 in January, no issues.

    EDIT:
    For those requiring prepayment, please check the policy when making your reservation.

    At Cinderella's Royal Table I have been charged for one of the people on the ADR not showing. That was a while ago, so the policy may have changed, however, if they are going to charge you for a no show it will tell you when you make the ADR.

    We've never had a problem adding one and we've done this several times. As long as you cancel within the restaurants specified time frame of a non-charge, you will not be charged.

    Good point and this may very well be for those that require prepayment. I've edited my post to reflect this, thanks!
