Amt of time character bkfst took start to finish (Ohana, Tusker, CRT, CM, 1900 Park)

[Childs1stTime2Disney]

How much time did these character breakfasts take for you, to sit, eat, pay, etc? (not including time waited to be seated), Ohana, Tusker House, Chef Mickeys, Cinderellas Royal Table, 1900 Park Fare) For ex, one hr to be in and out of CRT.

If you would like to include if you waited long to be seated, feel free to add that note in.

of those you mentioned, we've done the following:

CRT: this is a slow one. After check in you can wait a bit to go in and then have pic taken with cindy, then to have your name called. meal can be done in about 45 mins but the whole experience has been more in the 1.5 hr range for us both brkfst and lunch

Tusker House: the brkfst itself can be done quickly as its buffet. The only extra time is in waiting in line for the donald pic outside. I'd say an hour is
reasonable.

Chef Mickey's: this was one of our quicker ones. Again, buffet and you can actually skip the photo with the bronze mickey I think. Plus, there's no character to interact with before the meal (pix and autographs so it goes quickly).

1900 Park Fare (we did dinner not breakfast): not sure about brkfst but for dinner the character interaction (the intro, the dance, the meet and greet) took awhile. I think an hour would be quick.

Please bear in mind all of this information changes depending on the time of year. These are all times from late August 2011 with free dining. I went back through my photo time stamps to try and guess on times. We've never waited more than 10 minutes from check-in, with the exception of Cinderella's Royal Table.

Cindy's Royal Table - August 2011 (free dining) Breakfast
It took us a little over an hour from when we took our picture with Cinderella before sitting to standing outside by the carousel. Add to that about 20 minutes from check-in to picture time.

1900 Park Fare - Dinner
about 1.5 hours
Breakfast
about 1 hour

Tusker House - Breakfast
Only about 45 minutes! But we're not big breakfast eaters, and it was an 8 o'clock reservation, prior to park opening

Ohana - declined family photo, breakfast took about an hour

Crystal Palace - Early Dinner, about 75 minutes

Garden Grill - I forgot about the wait here!! Horrible, horrible wait, about 45 minutes. And on top of that, there's barely any room for waiting, so we were constantly having to move to accomodate foot traffic. Dinner was one of my girls' favorites, though. It took about an hour.
