Yet another PS question

**Dopey** · 10-05-2004

How soon before your PS do you usually show up at the restaurant?
Is it 10, 20 or even 30 minutes before?

I think it is recommended that you show up 15 minutes before, so that is what I usually do. Then I find I am always seated by the actual time of the PS. But don't be late, because I think they only honor them for 15 minutes and then you'd have to go on the waiting line with all the others.

Thanks much, karliebug. Being early has never been a problem for us. I would have to work hard to be late for any appointment

Dopey, that's good advice for everyone's entire life (not just WDW)!

Here's what I tell my teenage employees: 15 minutes early is on time to get yourself ready for shift, coming in right when you are due in is late, and anything after is rude...lolol They roll thier eyes at me..lolololol

Try to be there 15minutes early like karliebug said. They only hold the PS for 15 minutes after your time unless you call and let them know you are running late. I had this happen when staying at the AKL and they gladly held the spot because I had the front desk call over and explain we were running late. The morning bus for character breakfasts was running behind.

I agree that 15 minutes is best. Last year we arrived 1 hour early. We were hungry!!! Even though there were people waiting in the lobby, they seated us within 5 minutes. That's the Disney Magic!!!

It's good to know that there are at least some people out there that think like I do. You took the words right out of my mouth, Dana.
And skwak, what you said!!!!

Thank you all. Enjoy your day....Iris
