Carthay Circle Lounge Wait Times?

[SD33]

Anyone know how long I might expect to wait for a table in the lounge between 5 and 6 PM on a Saturday in August? There will be 4 adults in my party.

And do we line up outside?

Thanks!

Why not book a reservation?

Can be anywhere from walk right in to no walkups available rest of day.

The lounge doesn't take reservations.

OP, it really varies, and yes, you wait outside. We've usually gone mid-afternoon lately (say, 3pm average), usually on weekends, and usually wait about 30 minutes. That's a lot of "usuallys" because it does really vary...

I agree with PP, we've had variable waits. We always go late afternoon to early evening. I've waited as few as 5 minutes and as much as 30. You can usually tell how long the wait may be based on how many people are lined up already.

I agree with the variability. Sometimes it’s a five minute wait, and sometimes it’s thirty.

Yup...oops sorry, missed the "Lounge" part of the question!

It happens; you should see me trying to comprehend things before my morning coffee... let's just say that no one should let me type anywhere until I'm at least 50% caffeinated!

While I cannot comment on the actual wait, higher temperatures make guests seek out cool locations to take a break -- Carthay Lounge is one of the best spots

Thanks, everyone! Sounds like 30 minutes max. Very doable.
