How does PS work again?

[Tiawyn]

Ok, I am faced with a rather short notice trip to Orlando (You can be sure I am terribly upset about getting a free trip to Orlando and a chance to get to Disney!!!) (Too bad the trip comes during one of the busiest weeks of the year!)

I am trying to make a few PS, and I can't exactly remember how they work. Can we show up a bit early and (hopefully) get seated earlier? (I made a PS at California grill, but it's for 9:10 pm. I'd like to eat a bit earlier if we could)


!! So much planning and so little time!

If it is a busy time then arriving earlier than the 10 min or so they tell you too will not get you seated earlier most of the time. You would probably be put on the list with the walk ups. But I guess it would depend on how early you were.
also nothing stops you from trying again earler in the day to move up your PS time.

Well I suspect it's going to be busy - Friday night, April 16th (from what I've read, one of the busiest weeks of the year)

So basically I'm out of luck? (That's ok though, for the California Grill, I think I can wait - it was soooo good the last time I was there!)

If you have a PS for 9:10, you should check in, at least, 10 minutes beforehand. Since you have a PS, you will be seated before any walk-ups of the same party size.

Things you can do while you wait, check out the observation deck with it's spectacular view of the MK and Seven Seas Lagoon. Have a drink or two at the bar. Take up a conversation with a fellow WDW vacationer. You meet the most amazing people that way!

Gee, if you don't want to go...I will!
