First Time at USO and IOA Need help with restaurants

[TinkHappy]

Do we need to make reservations?

I am in a panic, when we are on vacation we love to eat, eat, eat...but, there is no way my family will wait for a table at Margaretaville for 2 hours.

Which restaurants can I make reservations for.

We are going at the end of August.
Thanks!

It won't be that busy at the end of August. Just stop by the dining cart when you are walking through Citywalk and make a reservation there on your way into the parks.

How early in the morning can you make reservations? is that for all restaurants? and finally wereabouts is the dining cart please.

Thanks

We were just at IOA and USO the last week in June and we made reservations at the booth that was close to the Hulk coaster in IOA.There were several times I was glad we made reservations because there were some conventions of some type going on that week and several of the restaurants had long waits . The night we went to Margaritaville they were telling people at the door there was a 3hour wait due to a convention.

as well as the one in IOA...as you enter Citywalk there's a booth on your left near the Endangered Species Store. there's also one in US as you enter the park on your right. the only restaurants I'm aware of that don't accept reservations from these are Emeril's and Bubba Gumps.

you can make reservations as soon as the parks open. keep in mind these aren't true reservations, if you make one for 6:30 you may still have a short wait. people are on vacation and tend to linger awhile longer and have another drink or two.

but like phamton said, the end of August isn't that busy to begin with.
