Best time to eat dinner each nite?

BEST time(s) for eating dinner?

We will be eating continental breakfast @ hotel each morning. (offiste)
I figure we'll eat lunch around noon each day. Also, we don't know the hours for October yet, :confused so it's hard to figure out if I make dinner too early, then I miss out on park time.

I was going to make each dinner around 8:00 PM each nite, but now wonder if that is too late, and change it to 7:00 PM .

When do YOU eat dinner? What do you think is the BEST time?


Here is my schedule, to help you :

If you eat breakfast, then lunch at noon, seems like 8:00 ought to have you hungry again.
For us, it's an early breakfast (8:00), no lunch, then dinner at 5:30-6:00.

Id say it depends on your party and it on what/howmuch you have for lunch.
I know when we go with our kids we usually eat dinner around 5:00. If we were to go alone, it would be a lot later. Also, some days we will hav eat big breakfast, and just have a late lunch/early dinner. Of course, snacking all day around the parks, and those frozen drinks by the pool help fill us up too. Do what works for you.

Fairytinkerbell,

I am guessing from your schedule that NO children are involved...........Just a hunch.................

but if that is the case and you don't care when you eat dinner.....most restaurants tend to be less crowded either real early or real late. When my wife and I were childless, that is what worked for us.....we planned to eat early (4pm ish) or late (8pm or later) and this way we didn't really have to make any ps's because most people eat somewhere's between 5 and 7.......... We don't like being "restricted" by PS's............. Now that children are involved, we eat when their schedule dictates, which means PS's for around 6pm every evening................

My advice IF you do have young children.... Keep to their normal feeding times! In our case; breakfast when they wake, lunch at 11:30, snack at 3:30 and dinner at 6.

I always make my dinner ressies between 6 and 6:45. I have found those hours work best for us.
