I have an 8 o'clock reservation for La Hacienda and would like to watch Illuminations from inside the restaurant. I have heard many people say that they have done so. However their website says they are open until 9. How is this possible?
I assume that means that 9:00 is the last time they'll let you have reservations for. If you're already in there dining, you'll be allowed to stay until you're done I've never eaten there myself, but make sure you let them know you'd like a waterside table when you check in. From my understanding, it's a fairly large restaurant, so it's possible you would end up with a less-than-ideal view
