Does anyone besides me think that this offsite reservation was available for a longer time period that usual. It seems like it was open maybe 3 hours before it filled up. I always felt like offsite reservations for anything involving free food or alcohol would go in minutes not hours. I'm starting to wonder if this really is a much smaller convention than in years past.
I agree. Before covid, these events would sell out in minutes. Especially with free refreshments. That's why I rushed to get it all done. I didn't end up picking the best date and time in hindsight.
2019 had some outdoor events that took a while to fill, like the twilight zone one. think the good place was up for a bit too
The Twilight Zone opened and closed quickly. But I think it reopened again later which I think gives the impression it was opened for a long time. But really it was opened, closed and reopened.
either that or they overbooking and you might need to wait in line a bit even with RSVP
With the standby line, I don't think they have to overbook. There will be people waiting to fill in for any no shows. The consequences are dire if they overbook and everyone does show up.
The times don't make sense though. The reservations are every 15 minutes. It's supposed to be a 20 minute experience. If the slots were every 20 minutes and the experience was 15 minutes that would make sense. 15 minute show with 5 minutes to reset for the next group. But it's not. They are short 5 minutes for every slot. Unless it's not a narrative. It's just a place to hang out in for a few minutes. But the fact that they say we will be seated and that it's a 20 min experience seems to suggest that it's structured.
