Here now and our party is tonight. Yay! It’s looking cloudy though. How do we find out if the party is indoors? @FastPasser. is there somewhere we can check? How far ahead do they make that call? Thanks!
Thank you!They make the weather call between 5 and 6. If it is moved, they'll call the phone number on the rez. No matter what, stop by the regular location and you can find out there.
Trip is not till Mid Aug
Sorry to hear that, but Disney can't control the weather........yet.
It will happen more and more as we head into the rainy season.
It's not whether or not it will rain at 9 pm, it's whether or not it will rain during the setup for the party which is late afternoon, early evening. Because of that, they have to gamble on making the call between 5 and 6pm. Many times they'll decide to move it indoors and it doesn't rain. But I can assure you that it does rain late afternoon, early evening on a good number of days during the summer.Does it really rain at 9pm a lot during rainy season? Thought it was mostly afternoon
They will often start the party 10 to 15 minutes before the advertised start, so no need to check in any earlier than that.What time does everyone check-in?
Good point, and it does happen. As soon as you think that might be the case, ask to speak to a leader and they will make every attempt to seat you elsewhere. If there isn't an alternate table, politely request a refund.Sitting with strangers is not pleasant if the strangers are unhappy.
The event was nice, but I would not do it again unless the seating is changed. Sitting with strangers is not pleasant if the strangers are unhappy.
I am sorry this happened to you. Although I was seated with my family I wouldn't have minded if we had strangers sitting at our table. We had some positive upbeat interaction with strangers at the next table. Why were they so unhappy?
It's clearly stated on the website and callers are supposed to be told when they make the rez. I don't know if that happens automatically though. If the phone CM doesn't voluntarily read the party spiel, it should be requested that they do.Because they didn't want to share their table with other people.
