CindyH, Not sure if you were using he date of April 7 as an example, or if you are wanting to see F! that day.

April 7 is a Monday and F! is not on the schedule, so you'll want to look at a weekend night instead.

Do you need to prepay for these reservations?

^^Yes. You must give them a credit card number when you call. They will charge the tickets then and there.

When you go to Guest Services to pick up the tickets, you need to show them a picture ID & the credit card you used to buy the tickets.

After you pick up your tickets you still have to sign in and pick your seats for the show (this was the part I thought was really lame) They will tell you what time and the location of check in when you pick up your tickets. When we did this they checked in for both shows at the same time. We got there 5 minutes before the time they told you to check in and we were just about the last ones in line. We waited for close to an hour and didn't end up with very good seats. (we didn't know that you had to pick your seats - I figured they were assigned when you bought tickets, which would make a lot more sense, if you ask me.) ANYWAYS, the morale to this story :) is go to check in plenty early!!

So true, ABBY.

The two different seating areas had different rules, which I always thought was strange. When they were doing seating on the balcony of the gallery, the seats were assigned based on when you bought your tickets. First group to have bought tickets for that show were seated first.

With Riverside, it's essentially first come, first served. IIRC, the check in time is around 7pm for the night. Even if you have tickets for the 10:30pm F! show, you choose your seats at 7pm -- both shows are lining up at the same time. People start lining up there up to an hour early to check in. It's insane!

So even if you pay all that money for the seating you still have to get there as early as you do to for the regular seating?? Is the dessert that good?

Once you check in, you are free to go about your evening. The CM that checked you in will tell you when to return to be seated.

As far as the desserts being good, I would say they are. Deciding if it's worth it is up to each individual. We like to enjoy the reserved seating every couple of years for a treat, but certainly don't want or need to do it each trip.

You get a box filled with goodies...really more than the average person can eat. Last time we did the F! seating (about a year ago), each box contained two each of chocolate covered strawerries, mini-Mickey krispy treats (with a milk & white chocolate Mickey face), jam-filled sugar cookies, biscotti, and I think one more item that I'm not recalling at the moment...snickerdoodles, maybe. So, you are sent away with leftovers to enjoy later. The extras make a nice breakfast the next morning. :-)

Do you know if they are good about food alergies?? Like the strawberries would make my DD9 turn very red and itchy...
