Need Rose & Crown advice

**djplong** · 06-14-2009,02:53 PM

Ok. I have my ADR's for the right time at the Rose & Crown on our first night at the resort.

The DVC person who helped me said I have to get to the restaurant's front desk or perhaps my resort concierge in the morning to let them know what's going on.

I absolutely *need* a cafe seat for the Illuminations show. I have something extra special planned for my girlfriend as soon as it's over - could be considered life-changing. In short, I bought the ring.

Any advice on what/how to say to get the Cast Members on my side? I know the lagoon-side seats are probably the most requested - but I have a *perfect* moment planned and I desperately want to pull this off.

Thanks in advance.

How exciting.

Be sure to report back with all the details.

Sounds more like you need a seat at the bar.

Congrats!!! I would let someone know the situation ASAP!!! I'm pretty sure that they would help you out! They like that kind of thing. Good luck!

You might try phoning your resort and seeing if they can call the rose and crown before you get there. If you tell enough people at Disney someone will make it happen. Ask who looks after special requests.
Good luck
Ps When is the big day?

It's Sunday July 26th. We get off the Auto-Train that morning and should be on the property by 11am. Staying at SSR on developer points from last year's purchase of AKV Kidani.

If you make your reservation for about 1-1/2 hours before Illuminations begins, you stand a better chance at getting a patio seat. And when you check in, ask for a patio seat. We've done this three times and only failed to get a patio seat once. But Rose & Crown has a special viewing area for Illuminations, so even if you don't get a patio seat you'll be able to watch Illuminations from Rose & Crown.

Arrive early. Hope your girlfriend uses the restroom. Let them know your plans if you can. They'll never guarantee outside tables. But your situation will be special. I'd bet somebody will get you waterside.

Let me know if this works.

If so, I'll propose to my wife every trip.

If I'm lucky, she may say ..........
