Consent cue

How it flows (the “twinkle loop”)

6:30 PM

Arrive & register parking

WaterDance Garage before scanners flip; save the QR/validation text.

6:45 PM

Rooftop cheers

Toast on The LOLA patio while the sun drops, then run a quick check-in line.

7:45 PM

Dinner pivot

Pick a spot based on wait times; trade hydration reminders between courses.

8:45 PM

Play detours

PopStroke rooftop bar or duckpin lanes at State 48 if weather turns—shelter is always close.

10:15 PM

Dessert cooldown

Bruster’s waffle cone while crowds thin, then a clean exit.

Pivots & backups

Event-night parking pivot

If garages are gridlocked or validation is messy, don’t spiral. Park farther out + commit to one clean loop, or switch to rideshare and keep it walkable.

Monsoon / heat pivot

If lightning or heat makes patios miserable, flip the order: State 48 or Carousel first, then do a quick fountain stroll once it cools.

Line spike pivot

If PopStroke is slammed, start with fountains + Bruster’s, then swing back later—or sub in State 48 duckpin for faster seating.

Time or budget squeeze

Cut one paid stop and keep the rest: rooftop cheers + a shared cone + a clean exit text.
