Need help with dining procedures, and other things...

[Cora]

I know WDW inside and out but we are adding 2 nites to our trip in Aug to stay at Universal. So I need some help...

Do they do PS or reservations?

How far ahead do I call?

According to the On-Site hotel perks, you get priority seating if you stay with them...any idea how that works?

In particular we'd like to eat at Emeril's, maybe put our son in a Kid club, so hubby and I could have a nice dinner (this is our 10th anniv trip). Is there a Kid Club? Anyone use it? He's 7 and loves the Harbor Club at BWV.

Thanks for all the great info I've learned so far!

Several USF/IOA restaurants take reservations. Here are some numbers:

Emeril's (407) 224-2424. Reservations are mandatory. Call as far ahead as possible.

Mythos (IOA) Direct line is (407) 224-4534.

Lombard's Landing (USF) (407) 224-6400

Otherwise, you can call the central reservation number (407) 224-9255.

Priority Seating is sorta like a reservation but not quite. It means that they will give you the first table large enough to hold your party that become savailable at or after the time of your priority seating time.

Both hotels have on-site babysitting programs. At Hard Rock it's the Camp Li'l Rock. Fees are $7/hr for the first kid, $5/hr for each additional.

Hope this helps.
