River Belle in the rain?

[Cal-Pie]

I have a reservation at River Belle on Sunday, which is shaping up to be a very wet day. Will they just seat people inside? Do they have enough space to accommodate everyone who has reservations inside?

I suspect what will happen (if it's raining) is you will have to wait longer for your seating.

Good question, we have dinner there on the 13th (too far out to predict rain in CA). I don't know if there will be many answers as CA hasn't had a significant rain since the RBT became a TS option on 2/10/16...We haven't seen rain in over 30 days in AZ and we typically get the same thing as the LA area a day or so later.

It was pretty wet in the park on the evening of the 17th ;there were ponchos everywhere. ..I tried sitting outside in the late afternoon at Clarabelle's the chairs were all soaked. We walked through Orleans square around 7ish and the outside verandas at cafe Orleans ,the gumbo place and Riverbelle looked pretty desolate. The crowds had lightened a lot too so maybe that is how they manage

Thanks ShaunaM for the on-site observations...I wonder if you no showed on a rainy day would they still charge the no show fee? I hope not to find out!

Why don't you call Disney dining and ask how they are dealing with this...seems like a reasonable questionsl. Good luck

We have been told by the Dine Line CMs that if the restaurant closes because of bad weather, you will not be charged a no-show fee. But if the restaurant is open and you don't keep your reservation, then you will be charged. All you can do is call the restaurant or the Dine Line to confirm that the restaurant in question (in our case it was BBRBBQ) is open. We got rained out, the restaurant did close, and we were not charged a fee.
We did do a F! package at RBT on a rainy night. It had rained earlier and was misting on and off when we arrived. The patio was full and there were heaters set out for most tables. The restaurant was trying not to seat more parties on the patio, just in case, so we waited longer for an inside table (which was fine with us anyway). Now that there are more tables inside, maybe the wait won't be as long.
