Booked ADR for 9:00pm at California Grill for myself and DH, DS, DD1 and DD2 staying at resort with grandparents :banana:. Any advice on how to get a window seat? Do we arrive early and request a window seat and wait? Or will they seat us and try and have us out before wishes at 10:00pm. If we are out for 10:00pm is there tables outside that you can buy a bottle of wine and watch the fireworks :confused3. MK closes at 11:00pm is there anything to do in MK after the crowds have cleared?

A window seat is never guaranteed, but you can try to check in early and request one. If you don't request a window seat, you will be seated at the next available table for your party size. 9:00 is right about the time wait times start accumulating, so be prepared to wait 20-25 minutes past your reservation time. Check in before 9:00 for the best window table opportunity.

The average meal takes about an hour and a half, so this gives you more than enough time to see the fireworks. There are no tables outside, however you can bring a glass of wine with you. (The areas outside are only observation decks. They are not too wide.)

Hope that helps.
 
Thanks that helps. Hadn't appreciated that outside was like you have described we'll def arrive early.
