FAQS

Are the tents heated?

Yes, each tent has a small heater. Please ask your server if you would like the heat adjusted. Please do not do it yourself!

How does it snow in south Louisiana?

We use artificial snow machines that will randomly spray “snow” (Non-Toxic Foam) over the bubble tent area to create a magical experience. ***Weather may affect snow falling from the sky.***

Can we bring outside food or drinks?

We allow birthdays cakes, but no other outside food or drink will be permitted.

Why can’t we have more than 8 guests?

The tents physically cannot hold more people. For safety and accessibility, no guests will be allowed to block the entrance to each bubble tent. Your server must have space to move around in order to provide you exceptional service.

What if it rains?

Light rain and scattered showers are not a problem.  If there is a threat of thunderstorms in the area, we may move you inside until the threat has passed.

How much food do we get?

The entrée alone serves 8-12 people, and there are also appetizers and desserts! Nearly every tent leaves with a to-go box; it’s a lot of food!

Can we order extra items?

You may order from our full Bar Menu, Kids’ Menu, or additional side items. No other starters, entrées, or desserts will be available for purchase in the bubble tent area unless otherwise discussed with a manager.

Will there be character visits?

Characters do visit during some reservation slots. These are clearly marked on the booking calendar. If you wish to book a character-visit dining experience, please be sure to select those specific time slots as character visits may not be added after completing your reservation.

Is there a wait list for booking?

No, we do not have a wait list for character or non-character dining. In the event of a guest’s cancelation, the time slot will immediately reopen and will be available for rebooking. We ask that you continue to check the booking site for available time slots.
