So after constantly checking online and calling about Category 1 for Thanksgiving Mickey's Backyard BBQ, something hit me. There is always only one dinner show each offered night. Premium seating also gets those folks in an hour earlier for a unique meet opportunity prior to everyone else arriving. With a roughly two hour time for meal and show, and only two and a half hours between show start times of the three shows, there's not enough time to get everyone out, clean up, and bring in category 1 people for the next show. So, I called.
CM just gave standard, none available right now reaponse, but then I explained, and she said, " you might be right" She didn't notice it at first then saw their daily calendar splits it up between premier and standard for every show night (only one show per night). Except Thanksgiving does NOT split it up. Again, her, plus she called another CM for another opinion and then thirdly triple checked with Guest Services, too. Everything for Thanksgiving is Category 2. She went way out of her way to confirm that three ways for me. Yeah, she got a good survey. Plus, she had time to kill...my hold time was only 2 minutes.
That means one less thing we need to keep checking on.
