while we didn’t go to the terrace and get a table before the parade, folks next to us at the parade did and they said they ate and then came to the parade. I would suggest if you plan to leave after getting a table you also leave something there as well like, we’ll, I don’t know, maybe plates of dessert. Just so someone doesn’t swap out your reserved sign with another table.
I’d suggest seeing if anyone else was there who can comment who got a table before the parade and then the whole party left for the parade and came back, just to get their full thoughts.
