V&A - which seating?

[splashmountainjaxson]

Looking for advice here....

We have visited V&A twice prior, Dining Room only, both for the 5:30 seating.
Our third visit will be this May, again, Dining Room, 5:30 seating.

We'll be heading back to V&A for November... and will again, do the Dining Room -- but I am leaning to the 9:30 seating.

For those who have done both, pros / cons ? Looking for any advice, insight... thanks all !!

WE did the late seating twice--it's less busy, but we didn't get back to our room at OKW until nearly midnight. For us, it's way too late for dinner...

Yes, I know -- that is my concern too.

We are left coasters so we've done the late seating a few times and even for us, it's too late. The restaurant is definitely less busy for the second one but finishing at midnight is rough, even for us.

Depends on how late you want to be out. Used to do the early seating because there was still time to get to the Adventurers Club afterward. Now, I'd do the late, because it would give me something to do at night. If you do the late seating, you will be out quite late and should probably plan to take a cab back to wherever you are staying.

Thanks TDC ...

I was thinking, the night we'll dine @ V& A will be our final day of vacation.

So, we may want to get our 'parks worth' all day, then have a lovely dinner to cap off the vacation. We'd take a 2pm flight out the next day, so sleeping in is good... plus we'll be staying @ BLT .... easy fix home

I think the 9:30 is a feasible option; we'll see how it goes. Ressies are to be made May 7th.... time sure flies !

Decisions, decisions....

I am going to be eating there in 2 weeks , but I thought our late reservation was for 8:30? If that is true, will be still be there until nearly midnight? I would like to take the monorail back to BLT.

I just did the 5:30 seating and wasn't out of the restaurant until right about 9pm. In fact, we wandered over to have the resort photographer take our picture and they'd closed up shop just before we got there. I can't imagine going for a 9:30 dinner and not getting out until 1am! I'd personally want a little bit more time to walk off dinner and digest a little before going to bed.
