Flying W staff will direct you to the parking lot and then direct your party to the ticket booth where one person from your party will receive seat assignments for the entire party (as well as be given tickets to the Flying W Ranch Chuckwagon Supper).

What’s on the menu?

Can I have a vegetarian or a gluten-free option?

Yes, when you place your reservation online, there will be a box to indicate how many vegetarian or gluten-free meals you will need. The vegetarian meal will include anything you want from the regular serving line (baked potato, beans, biscuit, etc) and a freshly cooked veggie & pasta plate. The only items in our regular menu that have gluten in them are the biscuit and spice cake. We substitute a freshly baked gluten free cookie for the spice cake.

Group Seating

I have 30 people in my group (all on the same reservation); do we all need to stand in line to check in?

No. Only one person (per reservation) needs to go to the Ticket Booth to collect the tickets for that Chuckwagon Supper (with the respective seat assignments).

How is seating determined?

In the Mountain Stream Lodge, all seats are excellent.  Seat assignments are given upon arrival.  Large groups are pre-seated.

Sitting Together as a Group

We made separate reservations/will be making separate reservations but want to all sit together as a group. How can we do that?

• First, decide on a name for your group, ie, “Smith Family”, “Hansen Birthday”, “Taylor Group”.
• If you have not yet made reservations, please inform everyone in your group that when they make their reservation, they will need to put the group name in the Comment box. This will alert our Ticket Booth of the names of those who wish to be seated together.
• If you have ALREADY made reservations, please either email [email protected] or call (719) 598-4000 ext 2 so that we may gather the names/reservation numbers of those in your group. We will then place a note in the reservations with the group name. This will alert our Ticket Booth of the names of those who wish to be seated together.

Discounts

Military

Does the military discount apply to the whole family or just the military member?

The military discount applies to the active/retired military member only and does not extend to other family members unless they are also active/retired military.

Seniors

Senior tickets are available for guests 65 years of age and older.

Lap-size Seating

What does “Lap-size” mean in the ticket choices? Does the child get their own small plate?

In order to be considered lapsize (and therefore free), there are three criteria that must be met (all three):

1. Must be under 3
2. Must sit on parent’s lap
3. Must eat from parent’s plate

Will we be eating inside or outside?

Dinner is served in the stunning Mountain Stream Lodge which has rolling glass walls exposing the beautiful surrounding land/rock scapes.  The walls are always open during the Chuckwagon season and since evenings can be chilly, jackets are recommended.

For the Gatherings and the Christmas Jubilee, the walls are closed and the Mountain Stream Lodge’s radiant floor heating and the wood burning fireplaces render the lodge very cozy.

Accessibility

Do you have a handicap parking lot? What accommodations do you make for handicapped patrons?

We have two parking lots. As you drive through the Ranch gates, a parking attendant will show you where the handicap-accessible lot is.

• The Mountain Stream Lodge is ADA-compliant.
• We offer shuttle rides on golf carts between the parking lot, ticket booth, and venue for guests who need one.
• If you are unable to stand in the serving line, Flying W staff will be happy to help.
• Flying W makes every effort to seat guests with wheelchairs on the end of a table

Adding People to a Reservation

We’ve already made reservations but need to add one (or two, etc.) more to our reservation. How can we do that?

While we cannot add to an existing reservation, you can:

• Place an additional reservation and put a note in the Comment box that you would like the new reservations to be seated with (Name on prior reservation). This will alert our Ticket Booth of the names of those who wish to be seated together.

Do you celebrate birthdays/anniversaries/etc.?

Yes! Our Wranglers will do a collective shoutout from the stage for birthdays and anniversaries!
