In the long thread about Fantasmic, one person mentioned that they had a regular BB reservation and were offered the Fantasmic package if they wanted it. I'm not sure if that happens on a regular basis.
When you were seated at Blue Bayou, did they place a Fantasmic menu on the table along with the regular menu?
making me think twice about making a reservation this next trip.
I think that server just didn't want to deal with it. Didn't matter whether or not they're busy... aren't YOU busy and paying a LOT to be given burned food? In a situation like that, ask to speak with the manager and maybe report the incident with the server. That was totally unacceptable!Had my first disappointing meal at BB last trip. Got the filet, asked for Medium Rare, got well done and one side was burnt so bad I couldn't even eat half of it. Server was super rude to us and just not a great visit
ETA, I did tell the server about the burnt part when she walked by and noticed I didn't eat it and made a comment about it. Then she said the kitchen is busy so... and dropped the check and walked off. Never came back.
They did not. I’m not sure what would have happened if we asked.
I suscribed to a free reservation finder for our trip the end of August. Nothing has come up yet. Do I need to sign up for one of the paid notifications? I was trying so hard to get the BB Fantasmic package (Fantasmic isn't even showing during our trip) that I missed the regular meal reservations.
I had an alert yesterday and missed it. I was driving and obviously didn't check my phone until I stopped. By then it was too late. That problem won't go away with a paid subscription.
To book the Fantasmic package, you have to choose this one on the list of dining reservation options, NOT Blue Bayou (which just gives you a regular meal reservation there). Once you click this, it gives you all of the restaurant options that offer a Fantasmic package.
Did you get your reservation yet? We have one for a party of 3 at 1pm on 8/31 that I will be dropping. We could coordinate a specific time so you could grab it when I cancel.
Haven’t been to BB since 2018.
They don't take requests ahead of time (like before the day of your reservation), but you can request a waterside table when the restaurant opens or when you check in. I'm not sure why the other poster was not able to request waterside, but it could be that it was super busy that day and the staff didn't want to/didn't have time.
I've nearly ALWAYS been told to expect a 45 min-1 hr wait for waterside. I've never waited more than 20. I think it's just a thing they do to try and dissuade people so they don't have a whole crush of waterside-waiters and I'm sure it gets old having to keep track of it.
Oh yes, I'm aware. They were just particularly persistent with it this time. Allow requests, don't allow requests. Whatever. But badgering us like that just seemed odd.
