Rainforest Cafe club members vs ADRs

[ShellyLynn3630]

Do the people who belong to that Rainforest Cafe "club" get seated before those with ADRS? You can get an ADRs at both locations in Orlando and I was just wondering if the people with ADRs could get shafted.

We don't eat there often, but we do when every other place is packed solid with hours of waiting. I never make ADRs for RFC.
It use to be that Safari Club members could make a guaranteed dining reservation if it was something like 24 hours in advance.
But really since I have never made an ADR, I can't say for certain or if they even do that now.
When we have gone, and as a Safari Club member, they go through the seating process and send us to the line of those who are being seated next. I have no idea who is a member or not in what line and how long they have been waiting or how they got there. :confused3

Don't know how they handle ADR's. Our experience in March was that the stand-by line was 2 hr and with our Safari Club card we only had to wait 20 minutes.

Never understood why people wouldn't join the Club. I believe it is $15 and is a one-time only fee ... you either get a % off your meal or free appetizer, priority seating and 10% off at the giftshop.

This is also good at any Landry restaurant (e.g. Joes's Crab Shack, etc) in the U.S.

Love my membership even if we only use it at WDW. It more than paid for itself on the first visit.

We joined also, it was well worth the $15 when we didnt have to wait and got a $10 appetizer free.

I don't have a RainForest Cafe near me, can I join the Safari Club before I get there? I made a lunch ADR at the one in AK, hopefully no wait.

I believe you have to join at a RFC. Just join and then go to the seating podium.
I am not sure it is $15 though. I was thinking it was now $25 or something like that. But could be wrong.

They don't call it front of the line seating. They refer to it as "quick attention".

we love the RFC club card - use it whenever we go (disney, vegas, jersey...) - seated before those waiting on line - and a free appy - got to love that!
