How Tight is your ADR arrival time?

[TinkSassy]

I have a Tusker House reservation at 10:20am and when I look at the plan it makes sense to do the 10am FOTLK. I know that is a 30 minute show - If we arrive at 10:35 would we be out of luck?

Try changing your adr. I have heard of people being told they can wait untill something opens or just turned away. Plus it is kinda rude to be late and it can toss there whole schedule out of wack. The show is every hour I'm sure you can fit it in another time also.

I wouldn’t arrive that late intentionally, no. Change the reservation or go to a different show time.

Please don't do this. You will arrive later than just 10:35 anyway. Over the summer I made our Tusker House reservation the week of our trip, it's a relatively easy one to change around if you keep looking.

I agree - change your ADR or go to a different show. It also takes time to leave the show and get to the restaurant and I would allow for at least 15-20 minutes after the show ends before your ADR time.

that's not "tight," that's "late." Tight is you have FotLK and have a 10:35 ADR. You may not make the 10:35 and you're really supposed to be there 15-20 mintues early anyway. I'd look for something around 10:50 if you want to still get breakfast pricing.

or yes, go to the noon show, timing should work out perfectly for that if you show up 15 minutes early for your ADR.

Just remember when your late it puts other ppl behind who have to wait now...

You need to choose one or the other. If the 10 AM FOTLK works better with your plan, you will need to change the Tusker House reservation.

You will be leaving the theater at the same time as over 1,000 other people so allow 15 - 20 minutes to make it to TH even though they are close to one another. Sometimes check in also takes a while at the restaurant if there is a long line.

I've never planned to be late.
We always plan to be about 10-15 minutes early, and 99% of the time, we are at least that early.

I expect Disney to seat me promptly at my reservation time, and I believe I should return that favor by arriving on time for my seating. Respect goes two ways.

I'd adjust the ADR if you really want to hit FOTLK. You could well arrive after the grace period Disney allows (~15min??).

We generally aim to arrive a little early for ADRs, even though Disney clearly sees the ADR time as a mere suggestion on their end.
