So, we're going during free dining in August, our first time with both the craziness of the heat AND the craziness of free dining ADRs. ;)
We've never done the HDDR, and figure this trip is as good a time as any, as it's a great value this way.
That being said, we're trying to decide which seating to go to.
If we want Tier 1 seating, on the floor, we have to do the 9:30 show. Our girls are old enough to handle it - they'll be 10 and 13 - but it is a 2hr show and with transportation home from FW being what it can be, we know we won't be in bed 'til 1am.
If we want to go at 7:30, we have to be willing to have Tier 2 or 3 - wherever we end up in the pecking order as our ADRs get placed. Now, we have a fairly good chance of good Tier 2 seating, I think, as we arrive the first day of free dining, so we'll be amongst the first to be calling to place HDDR ressies 180 days out.
All that to ask - for those of you who have been, is it worth it to go to the latest show just for Tier 1 seating?? We're going to make sure they know it's my DD's 13th birthay, as I know they make a big deal out of it -- will it be that much better for her, etc., if we're on the floor?? How have people's experiences been with Tier 2 seating - would it be all that different, esp. if we got a good table location??
Thanks for any input -- my DH says we should just "go for it" and do the 9:30 show for the better seating... I'm just unsure if it'll just be too late at night to really enjoy a full dinner, etc. Any ideas/experiences, etc., would be appreciated!!
