we want to eat there while looking at christmas decorations the week before christmas on our arrival day. we land at 9 am and are hoping to get to the restaurant around noon. is it going to be very crowded?
 
It's impossible to predict, but I'd say we've waited anywhere from 30-45mins most times we've been there.
 
We've been there several times during the day around 1:00 and it wasnt crowded at all. We were there for to go items but there were empty seats. I'm sure time of year impacts this - we've been in january, may and august.
 
We have been there for lunch a few times, usually around noon before we take our afternoon break, and it is not that busy
 

I think if you get there anytime past 12:30 or so you should be fine with little to no wait, especially if you're willing to sit at the counter...most people are in the parks at lunch time. I've encountered many more people @ B and C between 5 and 7 PM. Lunch is usually more doable.
 
It can vary so much. We've been around that time and walked right in, the restaurant was half full. I mentioned to our server that they weren't as busy as I thought they would be this time of day. She looked at me odd and said something like they were pretty busy, there was a 45 minute wait. We were at the counter with our backs to everyone. During that time (20 minutes max) the place had totally filled up and you could see outside there were a bunch of people waiting. So we just got lucky with timing. 20 minutes later we could have been in for a 45 minute wait.
 
I agree it can really vary a bit. We have only gone during the summer months around lunch time and then the wait is usually about 30 minutes to an hour for a table of three. Again, I am sorry as I do not have experience there with your time of year.

I find it worth the wait though. :goodvibes Enjoy!!
