Question about mouse watchers dining alert

[princesslover]

I currently have a Beaches and Cream reservation for 10:55 pm . Obviously Id like to find something earlier especially since I will be with my 75 year old Mom.

If I set up an alert for dinner, do I have to take whatever is found no matter the time or else be forced to set up a new alert? I’m afraid of being offered another 10:30 dinner and I really would like something earlier. I know with TP they take you off once anything is found but at least that is free. Thanks!

Alerts will continue to come through for all times during dinner if that's what you select. You do not have to take any of them if you don't like the times. If the time is too close to your current reservation, it will prompt you to either keep your original or take the new reservation. If it is early enough before your current reservation, it will let you book a complete new reservation, you will just need to cancel your existing. Hope this makes sense.

I think I understand. Overlapping- pick one. Not overlapping create a new one but not charged again?

Yes, you can essentially stack reservations until you get the time you want the most. As long as you cancel it 24 hours before, you won't be charged. If the reservations overlap, it will force you to pick one.

Thank you! I just don’t want to keep paying $5 for a new alert over and over until I find the one I want. That was my concern.

Oh! No, it does not go away once you secure a reservation. You can have that alert as long as you want.

In case you're interested, I've been stalking the Beaches and Cream walk-up wait list for several days now. All different times of day have about a 10 minute walk-up waitlist, at least for 2 people. Might be worth a try!

That’s helpful to know, thank you. Our trip isn’t until December so I still have time but I’ll try that as a last resort. There will be four of us.
On our last trip we missed our reservation by more almost two hours due to a thunderstorm and transportation issues. When we arrived they got us right in, no questions asked so I think they are generally accommodating.
