Best time to go to DQ?

[Disneyglobegirl]

When is the best time to go to Disney Quest? I assume that it would be first thing when it opens - also how long do you need to get lots in? I am trying to schedule it in and so far I only have afternoons open unless we go the morning we check out and stay for a couple hours.

Thanks

I have heard DQ is crowded on rainy days. When we went several years ago it was quite busy in the late evening, it was a weekend night and there were a lot of teen groups, most probably locals.

I think it will be more crowded generally due to being included in the pluses now on the MTW tickets.

Thanks Snappy - I guess it will be crowded no matter what so we will just go when we can get it scheduled in. I am looking forward to it since we've missed it the first 2 trips.

FYI, a CM at the turnstiles in MK told us they serve good food at DQ. I knew about the cheesecake from these boards, but it sounds like they have real food, too. Can't exactly remember but what she described sounded really yummy at the time, salads and/or sandwiches.

Good place for the parents to chill while the teens have fun.

They DO have yummy food. Grilled burgers, salads, italian food, great wraps and more. It's all Cheesecake Factory food, so its different than the regular food in the parks. Deb Wills has menus on her website.

The slowest time to visit DQ is on a weekday right when they open in the a.m. If you've never been there before, you could easily spend 4 hours if you want to experience some of each "zone".

I agree that DQ will be more crowded b/c its now a plus option. But in a way, that's a good thing b/c more people will go there and see how great it is. There have been rumors of DQ closing b/c of low attendance and turning it into an ESPN zone Now that it is a plus option and more people will go, maybe that won't happen. -Steph
