California Grill Lounge/bar question?

[DannyDisneyFreak]

If you don't have AR for the California Grill and you are not eating there can you just go to the lounge and get drinks during Wishes and view the show?
Any thoughts?

I do not think so.

You now go up to the 3rd floor and they escort you to the 17th.

I'm sure there's a creative way, but it looks like they put the cabbash on spectating.

You do have to check in on the 2nd floor but if there is room at the bar they will let you go on up. I have done it numerous times for dinner and or drinks.

I think they've been experimenting with that issue there. Frankly, it was much more pleasant in February. We actually had a place to sit while we waited for our table and had a drink. In November it was horrible. Wall to wall people, even the observation deck was too crowded. I think it varies and you should definitely ask.

I believe they'll let you up ONLY if it isn't already deemd "full".
