Sorry, I should have been more specific - how often do the Irish dancers perform? I assume we won't miss them, but I want to double check since that is the reason we are going.

Looks to me like the link provided states everything

I want to try this place next trip! I want to try the Shepards pie and sit so the kids can see the dancers.

Hi. We just ate there last night for the first time. We had early reservations as we wanted to enjoy meal & not be rushed to get to DD's school performance at Marketplace stage. We walked up to the podium and requested where we wanted to sit and there was no problem. The performers were awesome- live singing and then the dancers. They brought several children up to do demonstrations with after performance. They also had a little platform with them that they carried to different parts of restaurant to dance at remote locations in restaurant. They moved around and mingled too. The food and service were excellent.
We did not have to park; but used Disney transportation. We met my parents there who have mobility issues(mom hip, dad COPD) and it wasn't easy for them to get around after ( it was wall to wall mobed after we ate - outside of restaurant. ). Make sure you park on the landing side- or take the water taxi across from marketplace. It is located on the landing side and it is a farrrrr walk from Marketplace side if you have mobility issues. dh and I didn't mind the walk). The dock for the water taxi though let's off pretty close to the restaurant. Also where the okw boat comes in.
Have fun and enjoy.

Hi and thanks for those thoughts on the parking/getting about. My hubby has COPD too, and I don't want him to feel like he can't make it to the restaurant~ How close can you park to the Marketplace now?

I'm not sure- hopefully someone more DSprings knowledgeable can answer that. If you can park near where the buses drop you off and then take the water taxi I think that would be much better then what my parents did. And a little less people congested. Just don't miss that boat transportation sign- you have to go to the right as soon as you come into the marketplace. ( if you are entering from the same place the disney buses drop you off. ) I'm sure someone that knows the disney springs layout will chime in.

Thanks, I bet you're right~

Can someone tell me about how close you can park to this restaurant? My husband can't walk a great distance without discomfort, and I want to keep him comfortable!

Pretty sure your only option is the parking garage on the (former) west side. If you can manage parking near the cross over closest to Planet Hollywood would shorten the walk. It didn't seem too far to me, but I don't have issues with walking.

(The ground parking spaces on my google maps pic no longer exist as new buildings and another garage are under construction. Perhaps someone has a more recent pic.)

Had a map in our room that my kids had fetched.

If you valet park by Cirque, you can hop the boat at the west side dock making the circuit to the Landing dock which is just across the way from RR.





There is also valet at the garage, but then you have to walk.

No parking by the marketplace.
