I think they giv eup your table if you are more than 15 min late. What time is F! that night?

thanks. Fantasmic is at 830pm that night, I might need to re-think this seeing the show would get out at our dining time, making it almost impossible to get to 50's Prime Time even in 15 minutes......hmmmmmm.

Thanks for the info though.

I would question it taking more than 15 minutes to get to PTC, however, I can think of two options. 1) Have one person move toward the exit before end of Fantasmic and then lead the charge. Should easily make the time and can claim the ADR. 2) Stop by PTC earlier, explain, and ask about a small adjustment. The managers have some leeway when it comes to these things.

You can't have 1 person show up to claim the adr, has to be the whole party.
Believe me they will not seat you and WILL give your table away. Had this happen to us at Ohana and we weren't late. We checked in 15 mins early, my friend who was meeting us with her daughter were stuck in traffic on property. The manager said we had until our adr time to get everyone there or we wouldn't be seated. She showed 2 mins before and they had already canceled us. We had to wait and fight with the manager, we were finally seated but the service was terrible. I do believe he checked to make sure there were issues with traffic, so we weren't lying.
With it being a later ressie, they very well may not wait on you.

'Ohana and 50's PT. I would think that, at that time of night, 50's won't be outrageously busy and they'll accomodate you. You won't be THAT late!

short answer: 15 minutes.

long answer: My understanding is --an ADR is not a "reservation" They are not holding a table for you. It just means that once you check in, you get the next available table in your size. If you are 15 minutes late, you are treated as a walk-in--behind the other ADRs. While there might be leeway during slow seasons, I know that last year, week after Christmas, we ended up waiting for almost 2 hours at Sanaa because we were 20 minutes late for an ADR. No big deal for us since we were able to sit in the bar area and have drinks and apps and had no other plans that night.
