Character Meals.

[Duckiedee]

We have Character Meals set up at most of the venues.

Is there a way to request a seat where you will meet the Characters early in the meal?

Thinking in particular of PPO.

We have PPOs at Akershus, Crystal Palace, Tusker House, Hollywood and Vine and Cape May (7:30).

Not sure this is even possible, based on when you actually arrive vs when you are seated.

Thanks for any insight.

Not possible that I know of. You could tell your server you are in a rush but I inagine all PPO reservations are. They suggest 60-90 minutes if you want to see all the characters.

I doubt that is possible. If it was, figure you and every other patron would have the same request.

Right--- I imagine everyone wants the exact thing, and there's no way to accommodate everyone.

Hi!

Request for seating is only possible to ask for when you check-in at the desk and are ready to be seated. And they will of course try to help you if it's not too busy (and depending on the CM).

So in general - No, a seating request is not possible to make before hand. And I doubt that arriving time will affect it either, since most places don't hold tables but assign as they become available.

But you can kindly ask when being seated if it's possible to arrange for a table (or a certain part of the dining room). But as with any other request, they can't promise anything but if it's available they'll most likely will try their best to accommodate you.

The Characters and their helpful friends that show them around will certainly spend enough time with you and make each experience magical for you!

When we were at Akershus, they brought the characters out after we'd ordered before they brought our food. I know breakfast and dinner are served differently though. However, at that time the characters did one part of the restaurant all at once (and it seemed like we were all in a similar stage in our meal) and then moved on to another section. We saw all the princesses in about 20 minutes.

Crystal Palace took much longer. We had to wait for the characters to come to us and they did rotations of the whole restaurant. Took 45-an hour. Though the gap was nice for being able to go up to the buffet. We had a PPO. H&V was a similar set-up. We had lunch there and it was an hour to see all the characters.

Honestly its all luck, they usually have a "starting point", however We have been lucky enough to have gotten seated at a table where we literally got to meet all the characters before we could settle down and you feel very rushed and unprepared. You're better off giving yourself extra time for the meal, you'll enjoy the interaction 100x more.

It's also important to remember that seating at TS is also based on server load, and servers have some contract guarantees about seating. Server area and table assignment are a big deal and CMs can't overbalance to a single area.

No.

Due to the nature of the way the characters move through a meal there is no way to request a seat that will see the character first. Such a seat doesn't exist.
