We ate there Saturday evening and it was the summer menu. Didn't think to ask when it was going to change. Sorry.
About the WOC preferred seats, we were given FPs to the 10:15 p.m. show but then debated going to the earlier 9 p.m. one. While waiting to speak to our server, another server noticed us looking around and asked if he could help, so we explained that we wanted to exchange the FPs for the 9:00 show. He brought out those FPs and told us to keep the 10:15 ones in case we wanted to see it again. Nice guy.
About 8 p.m. we went by the WOC area to see where the preferred standing would be and spoke to a CM who assured us that we had another 45 minutes before we needed to return and that it would not be busy in that area. So we shopped and bought glow with the show ears and at 8:15, we saw people entering the area so we decided to check it out. People were already at the railing and since I'm short we decided to stay. We got the last two spaces at the railing. By 8:45, the area was full.
Also for the poster who wondered about making a reservation, they were taking walk-ups, but as my son stood in line to check in, two parties ahead of him asked to be seated indoors and were told that those tables were reserved for guests with reservations and that outdoor was only available or they could sit inside at the lounge and have drinks and appetizers.
Our table was in the main dining room, one of the four tables directly under the mural. It was great. Really enjoyed Carthy Circle and will go there again.
