If you have a reservation to a table service restaurant - is 10 - 15 mins lateness acceptable?
Ever been turned away?Don't be late. Depending on the restaurant, you won't be their guest if you're outside your time.
Ever been turned away?
Earliest I've seen someone turned away was 45 minutes late at Sci Fi.
Could not agree more.... And it screws up the table for next group.... Just show up on time...These threads kill me. I understand things can happen that would make you late for a ressie, but if your trip is a good bit away, and you're asking this question, then your planning sucks (to be blunt). Do everything in your power to be on time. It's a courtesy to the people at the restaurant as well as the other patrons.
And to answer your question: I'm a person that actually makes it a point to arrive EARLY to my reservations.
And if the monorail is unexpectedly closed? Bus takes 40 min to arrive?Could not agree more.... And it screws up the table for next group.... Just show up on time...
They say 15 minutes when you talk to cast members at reservationsIf you have a reservation to a table service restaurant - is 10 - 15 mins lateness acceptable?
With all due respect, I have gone to Disney for 30 years.... 7 dinners each time and never had a problem showing up on time. If you are taken a bus, make sure you leave with plenty of time where it could take 40. It's not hard to figure out..And if the monorail is unexpectedly closed? Bus takes 40 min to arrive?
Sometimes things occur beyond someone's power. Granted I agree it's odd to be almost PLANNING for that.
I don't see anything odd if knowing what the parameters are. For instance, if the OP found out that disney was hardline on their rez times, then they'd either try harder to make the rez time or they'd blow it off and do something else. Knowing that Disney is somewhat lenient on rez times gives them the peace of mind to not worry so much about it. As long as a reasonable attempt is made to be there on time, I don't see the problem.

You don't think it's also part of good planning to plan for what to do, and what is permitted, if unexpected events occur?These threads kill me.
