Epcot Dining?

[Minerva6116]

I am making dining reservations for my first trip to wdw in March!! I have a question about epcot dining. I have a lunch reservation for my boyfriend and I at San Angel for noon. We are planning on making our way through the world showcase the rest of the day at a leisurely pace and checking out whatever shows and shops look interesting to us. What time should we plan on making dinner reservations at the Chefs de France so that we don't have to rush to get there on time? Would 6:30 or 7 be ok? I'm not sure how long it will take us to make our way over there since I have no idea how large the area actually is. Also, do they have the ratatouille character there for dinner or is it only for lunch? Thank you!

That sounds like a good schedule. Mexico is the first country on the left, and from there you just work your way around the lake. How long you take is really up to you; The World Showcase is mostly a shopping mall (shopping, restaurants, 3 countries with a short movie, one ride in Mexico and one in Norway). Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun, with country specific theming/eye candy in each one, but little waiting for anything except maybe the Norway ride, and you'll be there early).

Even if you are not exactly at France at 6:30 or 7, it won't matter, the walk from anywhere in that half of the World Showcase is very short. Nice choices!

Thank you both for your answers! I'm glad to know I'm on the right track as far as planning goes. Now I just have to wait 3 months to actually get there haha.
