3. Is there any chance of having any walk-ins in the restaurants on property in the evening or for breakfast? Since it is our first time I don't want to overload with the eating and would like to leave some options openon our arrival day !
Thanks so much for your help.
As far as restaurant walk ins I will relay my experience. Your mileage may vary...
Due to a Looong flight delay we did not get to the hotel until 6 pm in the evening. We blew our ADR at DHS and at about 7:30 pm we went down to the lobby and asked if they could accommodate us at Cape May buffet.
As luck would have it they could.
Keep in mind that this is an all you can eat buffet and some people are turtles and some people are rabbits when it comes to this kind of thing. With the crab legs people tend to be slower since it's crack, pick, crack, pick, crack, pick, crackpick, crackpick, crackpick, crackpick, get up get another pair of legs and crackpick, crackpick, crackpick....... If people are taking forever there is less table availability and longer waits, even for people who have ADR's.
So... The bottom line may very well be that.... it depends. We felt very lucky to be accommodated. I have to wonder if you could do a walk up during something like the
free dining promotion that is coming up. Personally I would not feel comfortable leaving too many meals up to chance with out an ADR in place.
A place that I absolutely love is the Captains Grille in the Yacht Club. We dropped in without ADR's for lunch and we had no problem. The food and service were fantastic whether we were there for breakfast or lunch. The times that we went, there were not a lot of people in the restaurant, so I think you will not have as much of a problem doing an walk in there as opposed to Cape May Buffet with it's 'all you can eat' allure. Every time we walked past Cape May for breakfast or dinner it was mobbed! (no lunch at Cape May).
So if you have to do a walk up, try for Cape May if you want, but I think the Captain's Grille is the best kept secret in Beach Club/Yacht Club dining. Check out the menus for the restaurants on the allears site and decide for yourself.
