So do they check you in and then take you over to the seating right away? Or do you check in and then come back? Do they assign you a table at check in? I'm confused about the process.
at about 6:30pm a line starts forming behind Grizzly river run. Eventually they set up two signs for the first show vs the second show, but initially it seems to be just the first show people.In the pic I posted above, you can see that the first show line hugs the water way of grizzly river run, the second show is on the other side of the "road".
at 7pm , a cast member will appear with a podium and an iPad to start the check in process
checking is providing parties names, getting wrist bands for all and then choosing table number/location or not...high hop or low top...etc
If you're first in line you'll get checked in right away and have more time in between check in and the time they walk the line over, which is about 7:45-8pm (I've only ever done the first show, but I believe the while process is the same for the second show, all just one hour later)
in between checking and and getting walked over you can either stay put in line or go ride an attraction or get a bite to eat or whatever.
if you lose your place in the line by leaving it, it just means you'll be walked over last/later which doesn't take away from your experience, (as tables are now assigned at this point), it just means you're not first getting seated and getting started on those desserts!
The two times I've done it, the first time a very sweet couple held our spot in line while we went and got pizza, we were 2nd in line that time.
last time, my party went and did stuff while I just hunkered down and stayed put.
