Any best practices on Party 4 the Senses

[gdrj]

Going to our 1st Party of the Senses on 10/22 (Chefs from Disney Parks). We have reserved seating option.

1.Do we need to get in line early to get so we don't spend have the party on line?
2.Suggestions on how to do food stations?
3. Do the food stations calm down after the initial run?
4. Anything that worked great for you or you wish you did?

My goal is to enjoy and have fun. I don't want to stand in a line all night. Its just 2 of us attending.

Thanks!

I've been to Party for the Senses a few times. If you like good food you are going to love it! The reserved tables will typically get in 15 minutes before "the rush". I would use that time to peruse the menu and get a couple of dishes that are certain to be popular. E.g. that filet or lobster dish, these are going to have long lines. On the other hand, lines will greatly diminish, or disappear entirely, later in the evening. I have considered showing up later for the event to avoid the lines but have never done that. Has anyone else? You will stand in lines early, but rarely are they more than 10 minutes, most 2 -5. BTW there are multiple food tables set up throughout the event, each with lines. Maybe go to the shorter lines first, trying the more popular dishes later? After finishing a plate, we look at the menu again and head out to find something else that interests us. Pace yourself, there is a lot of food and drink here! Enjoy the atmosphere, the entertainment, etc. The cheese stations typically are uncrowded. Each station is a rectangle, each long side serving a food dish, and the shorter sides serving a (usually paired) beverage (typically wine). I have not had any problem getting two plates from a station, so that can help save some time in line too, maybe have someone else in another line and then y'all meet up. Have a great time!
