Raglan Road & Pleasure Island way too early?

[estherhead]

Hi, all. I'm responsible for making ADR's for our group. My DS & her DH are trading babysitting with us so we can go on dates to Raglan Road/PI. They are going Friday night, us Saturday. The weekend of Thanksgiving.

Here is my question. I'm planning on making our ADR for 8:45 p.m. so we can hear the band play while we eat. Will there be a band on Saturday after Thanksgiving?

Also, my DS thinks she & her DH will no enjoy eating so late & wants a 6:00 ADR and then to pop back in and have a whiskey at the bar. Can you do this? Can they pop back in & stand/sit at the bar & listen to the music even if they have eaten & left 3 hours before?

Any info on our Raglan Road plans will be helpful. We all love live music & dancing & to be entertained & hanging out with other adults! but many years of small children have left us with internal clocks that awaken at 6:00 a.m. and tire by 10 p.m. It is very difficult to undo such a strong internal clock for one night of partying!

Any advice on getting the most out of PI on an early(ish) to bed schedule would be helpful. And what it will be like on a holiday weekend.

Yes, you can just go in and sit at the bar, if you can find a space at the bar.

If you intend go home to sleep by 10 and have an ADR that late, I'd suggest you only visit Raglan Road.

Just this week, PI began opening at 8. I don't know if you want to pay $23 apiece to spend an hour in the clubs or not.

Thanks! No, we aren't really going to leave at 10pm, I was just using that as a "normal" bedtime. I figure dh & I will stay till 1am or so. But my DSis wants to eat at 6 p.m. & try to be home by 11 p.m. or so.

We have extra water park & more passes too, so the price isn't a factor. Plus, I've been to WDW sooooo many times & never been to PI. So this is my chance & I want to do it right without messing the rest of my week up.

Make sure you visit the Adventurers Club.

Stay for a show. Some take a look at the decor, say "It's just a bar" and leave.
