We know how important it is for you to sit by your friends. Our hosts do an amazing job helping guests find seats together. If you have a party up to Eight guests and would like to reserve your seats prior to the event you are welcome to do so. Reserved seating is not necessary as all seating is on a first come first serve basis. However, this option is available to guarantee that your party will be seated together without having to exercise our first come first serve policy. There is an additional fee to reserve your seats prior to the event.

• Reserved seating is available for a party of up to 8 guests.
• Each guest will need to purchase their own Mega Make & Take Extravaganza or Play Date ticket online.
• Once your party has purchased their individual Mega Make & Take Extravaganza or Play Date tickets, one person from the party will need to visit our "Reserved Seating Application" to reserve your seats.
• In an attempt to offer seating reservations for everyone, groups may be seated with other patrons to make the most of our seating capacity.

The daily fee for reserved seating is based on the size of your party. This fee is not per person, it is a flat fee for your party.

• Once we receive your application, we will add the reserved seating to your order. Please allow 48-72 hours to process the application as these are done manually.
• Once your application has been processed we will send you an email confirmation letting you know that we have added the tables to your order.
• When you arrive at the Mega Make & Take Extravaganza or Play Date; please notify your host to assist in locating your reserved seating.
• Online seating applications close one week prior to the show. See cutoff dates below.

Special Requests: If you have any special medical requests or needs, please be sure to add this request to the seating application. Special medical requests or needs are filled to the best of our hosts ability and not always accommodated.

Moving Reserved Seating Tent Cards: Much time is taken to fill requests for those that have paid extra to "Reserve Seating" ahead of time. We ask that you PLEASE be respectful and do not move your tent card or other guests tent cards. All reserved seating tent cards will be marked with their row/aisle number for our hosts to assist guests in locating their reserved seating. If tent cards are moved; that party will forfeit further seating reservation privileges in the future. We ask that you please see your host if you have any concerns with your seating arrangements and they will be happy to assist.

Online Seating Application
Deadline - 11:59 PM Pacific Time 1 Week before the event.
