Hoop De Doo Review Question

[eeyore70]

Going to make 7:15 ressies for HDDR for three adults. 2 of the adults will be there early the third one will be coming over seperately and will arrive hopefully around 7pm. Can we get in and get seated or does our entire party need to be present before they will seat us? Thanks for the help.

I'd be very surprised if you needed to wait for everyone but I don't think you will be seated much earlier than 7 either. We just went in December to a 7:15 show and had our entire party together. We signed in when we arrived and after getting a picture taken waited for the doors to open. We had to wait for the earlier show to let out and the tables to be cleaned. I don't remember getting in before 7. I can't imagine you'd have a problem getting seated if someone in your party is late since you have an assigned table and you have already paid. There were a number of very large parties at our seating and I can't imagine they all showed up together.

You will be fine. They typically don't let you in until around 7 anyway. However, you don't have to get your pictures taken if you don't want to, just make sure you sign in. We have been so many times we don't care about the pic... we just go for the entertainment and the food!

Like the PP said, you usually don't get sat until close to showtime. So you might even still be waiting to sit. We were waiting for family that lives in the area to arrive to HDDR once and we got sat before they got there, no problem.

No need to wait for your complete party before sitting down. We've had instances at HDR where either a portion of the group was running late or we had to go change diaper or take a child to the bathroom. Either way, we just went in and sat down and the rest of the group caught up.

We also skip the picture because it's not that important to us. They say to be there 30 minutes ahead of time to get signed in and all that and we've found that yes that is nice, but then you sit around and wait. Not that there's anything you can do, but just be prepared to wait. We've gotten there between 6:30 and 6:45 for the 7:15 show and you could hear them inside still cleaning up from the previous show. For that reason, we like to do the 5 p.m. show because we know we're the first show and at least dont have anything holding us up. They don't let you in too much earlier, but that's the preference we've chosen...

1) You have individual pre-paid tickets for HDDR.
2) So, it is not like waiting for your group to get the ADR.
3) As mentioned, you get seated when they open the doors.
4) So, I would not worry about it.
5) Just make sure the other person has their own ticket in-hand.

Since you have already paid for HDDR, there is no real reason to get in line to be seated right away, though a line always seems to form for some reason. I'd just try to get in the back of the line, or stay off to the side of it, so your latest arriving party member can find you easily. If you're already seated inside when that person arrives, it may be somewhat difficult for that person to find you. But if you just wait for that person outside, you'll all be able to walk in together, and in plenty of time.

We were just there last week, and they started seating precisely at 7:15 p.m.
