CG - Wishes timing

[TyRy]

First, I'm sorry for posting this for probably the 10,000 time but I need a quick answer and the search function won't work.

My DH just told me that he wants to eat at California Grill when we go in Sept. Now I've had all ADR's set since 180 days out and he deceides at less than 90 days out to eat here! If we wanted to time it with Wishes (9pm) what time should I try and make my ADR for? And can you use the dining plan (I know it would be signature.)

Thanks so much!

Ty

Yes, you can use the dining plan.. and for 9:00 Wishes, I'd probably try for as close to 8:00 as I could get. (Although, I'd take 7:45 over 8:15.)

I did this once, and we had to wait an hour and a half from the time of our Priority Seating (8 p.m.) to be seated. We had a nice time hanging out at the CS bar, but by the time we were seated (9:30), Wishes was over.

I just made my ADR this past weekend for CG in October. We were able to get a 7:40 ressie. Good luck

The dining CM who booked it for us recommended 7:30 so that is what we did.

I'm also going in September, on a night when Wishes is at 8:00, and I booked for 6:10. I figure there could be a long wait for my table, if not, I've heard that stepping out on the deck is as good, if not better, so I'd rather do that towards the end of the meal than just as my entree gets there. I'm planning for everything to take a little longer, just in case, otherwise I'll linger over dessert.
