Alot of it will depend on how crowded things are....

We were there 2 weeks ago, along with most of the northeast section of the country (due to Spring Break), and we were SO glad we had PS's....I can't tell you the number of people turned away because they didn't have one.

I would definitely make PS arrangements ahead of time. You can always cancel if you change your mind once you are there.

We couldn't get a PS for Cindy/Prince at 1900 last year at MNSSPH. We called and asked a CM if it would be possible to get in, and the "offical" word was that we could try, but we prob. would not be able to get in..
So the day before we wanted dinner, or that morning... I showed up there and talked to a CM. They said to come back early that evening , about 15 min before they opened for the dinner, and get on stand by. We did and all 6 of us were eating dinner in under 30 min. Now if it had been , really, really important to eat there we would not have gotten in, of course! But we had backup plans. We also got in with a group of 10 or 12 to the Crystal Palace/Pooh and Friends with out a PS. We did try to get them for over a month befor we went down. I have had a lot of good luck with this, but have not allways gotten in. Maybe 4 out of 6 times. We never have good luck calling for PS's! I still try... never have any luck, doesn't matter if I try 90 days or a week befor we leave. I have better luck the day befor I want to go some place. I keep the res. number in my cell phone- pre programed!
