Duration of Character Breakfasts? (CP, CRT, etc.) - The DIS Discussion Forums

mechteach · 08-22-2009, 04:13 PM

(I'm sure that this information is somewhere within the forum, or elsewhere on the internet, but my searches have not found anything.)

What is the average duration of the various theme park character breakfasts? I know that there are a lot of mitigating factors (speed of character circulation, desire of the customer to go slow/fast, etc.), but I'm curious about others' experiences.

Specifically, say a park opens at 9 am, and you have an 8 am ADR for which you are on time, and for which you are seated relatively quickly. How long does the meal last for places like:

Crystal Palace,
Akershus,
Cinderella's Royal Table, and
Donald's Safari Breakfast?

Also, for the resort breakfasts (Ohanas, Chef Mickey's, 1900 PF), is that about the same length?

Thanks for any input/opinions!

On my last trip I had an ADR at 8:15am at CRT and we were done by 9:00am on the dot. Our CP lunch took just over an hour.

We had an 8:05 at crystal palace. We were the second ones to check in after walking down main street and the first ones to be seated. We were at the second table the characters visited after they came out and we were done by 8:45. We were the first ones in and I think the first ones out as well!

I think had we been seated on the opposite side of the restaurant we probably would have been done closer to 9:00 or a few minutes after. We were just lucky with our table location
