7:20 adr at Coral Reef..enough time for fireworks???

[njmom08]

We will be visiting late may and this will be our first time at Coral Reef. I have made adr for 7:20 for our first night. DH said that might not be enough time to catch the fireworks at Epcot(we have never seen them ) I did try to call and change the time but only lunch was available. This is our first day so not knowing exactly what time we will be at the park I need to keep the dinner reservation. Do you think thats enough time??

Probably not. We saw them at that same time, but had already started when we finished dinner. Move along quickly!

We usually take the most of 1hr and 15minutes at TS. It really depends on how long it takes for them to seat you, the pace of service, etc. Possibly, but maybe not. It's really hard to judge.

back when we got appitizer, entree, and dessert it took us at least 1.5 hours to eat, but now that they dont ahve appetizer on DDP it wont take as long

If you're going in December Illuminations starts at 9:30 otherwise it's 9:00. It will be close. Good luck

If you eat fast it might be, because you then have to book it from the seas to the center, it might be cutting it very close

Coral Reef is frequently behind in their ADR seating (you might not get seated at 7:20) and then it's still a pretty good walk to get to the World Showcase. Good luck, I hope you make it. Illuminations is worth the effort.

That's a tough one. If all the stars and planets align, yes you would have enough time.

Realistically, it will be close, leaning towards not enough time.

Like the PP indicated, CR often runs late. You may wait 10-30 minutes.

I would keep calling and show up early.

We have had several meals recently at Coral Reef and it's been very slow service! It wasn't usually the waitstaff, it was the kitchen. If that happens to you, there is no way you'll make it. If possible, I would suUggest trying for an earlier adr just so you have a cushion.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond. I called and the only adr available was 4:10 but I did switch. A little earlier than I would like but it sounds like the fireworks will be worth the switch!! Thanks everyone!

Have you thought of doing only desserts there? They do make the best.
