Very fun experience! Check their website for special offer codes. Go early to get a pre-assigned seat section. And then listen for them to announce it's time for seating since seats are by section. Food amazingly good considering the mass quantity they serve. If you are celebrating, you can pay extra to have them announce it during the show. We had a fantastic waiter and thoroughly enjoyed the show.
