what if we are 15 min late to our reservation?

Have reservation for 1900Park Fair the same day as arrival. NOt sure we will make it on time. If our reservation is at 4:35 but arrive around 4:50, will they still seat us?

We've arrived late before for some ADRs and generally, they've seated us. I really can't remember a time where they didn't (not like we do it all the time lol). On the flip side, we've arrived early before for ressies and they've seated us. So I think there's some buffer zones whether you come early or a bit late. You should be fine!

We have arrived late to two reservations and both times, they were fine, we of course appologized profusely but honestly they didn't seem like they cared or that it even mattered at all. Just try your best to be on time and see what happens.

We arrived soooo late for our ADR at Tony's on the night of MVMCP and they still, graciously, seated us. We were very embarrased to arrive so late (resort bus issue even though we allocated 45+ mins for travel time) and apologized a million times and even said we'd understand if they could no longer take us. The CM was extremely kind to us and acted as if nothing was ever amiss. We were very grateful and hope to never repeat that scenario again!

They will have no problem with you if you are late. You will just be in a queue behind people that have already checked in.

They will hold your reservation for fifteen minutes after your time so you really won't even be late.

Could you maybe change your reservaton since you already know your gonna possibly be late??

You should be fine. I would call the resturant directly an let them no if you want. But don't see it as a ajor problem. I think the allow that people will be a few minutes late.

I think as long as you are not too late you won't have a problem. I think it depends on how late you were and how busy they were. I would imagine that they may even take you at an hour late, but it depends on how busy and the person.

This is interesting. I always thought they didn't hold anything, that your ADR just gave you to chance to get into the queue at the time - not save an actual table for you like regular restaurants do.

I am wrong or has this changed? Did it change when they went from calling them PS to ADR?

I too was told that they hold your ressie for 15 minutes after your time.
