Priority Seating

Universal Orlando Resort

I recently discovered the Premier resorts have priority seating at select restaurants. Awesome! It’s my understanding that the chain of priority is reservations > priority seating > wait list.

So, how useful is this in practice during a high crowd week? We do have some reservations lined up but would love to have this in my back pocket for flexibility. I’ve seen things like you just let your hotel concierge a few hours ahead of time and they’ll get you a reservation. Others mentioned just going to the restaurant, showing your hotel card, and they get put at the top of the wait list; turning a 90 minute wait into a 15 minute wait.

Any first hand experiences or tips?

When we tried to use that it wasn’t very helpful because they weren’t even having a waitlist. It was reservations-only when we wanted to go. So, think of it as
Reservations > Priority > Waitlist.

But other UOR fans have been more recently.
