Slim, but it depends on your probation officer, your record, and your circumstances.
You should contact your po right away, and discuss this. You may want to review the individual matter with a criminal defense lawyer.

It depends on the person's prior criminal record and the court in which they are on probation. The person should contact a lawyer before entering any plea on the disorderly charge.
Re: Porbation and Reincaration
It depends on what the original probation was imposed for, and on the person's record, as well as whether there are any other violations, such as failure to report or failure to pay fees. A probation surrender hearing can have the significance of a mini-trial, especially when potential incarceration is at stake. You should speak to an attorney before the final surrender hearing.
