Actually archowl, you can pick up the picnic between 11:30am and one hour prior to your selected WOC showing...

It is true that if you reserve the picnic prior to the day of the show online, you can pick up the picnic between those times. However, if you walk up without a prior reservation, I was told you had to take the picnic at that time. But it does look like they allow you to make a reservation for the later show now online, so that has changed.
If you really don't want to hassle with continually checking back to see what the machines are giving out, I would reserve a WOC picnic for the later show online. Saves you hassle and you know at least you won't get red.
