How late do you eat dinner at The World?

[TheRustyScupper]

Lol, I don't know if its good for the people in your travel party to decree anything.

1) Fortunately, the three other couples that join us like to eat early.
2) In Florida one eats early to avoid the Tourist dinner times.
3) So, now it just normal for us to eat early, and not change just because we are vacation.

NOTE: Changing one's habits for eating is like expecting small children to behave better (stay up later, not be cranky, etc) because you are on vacation.

I know that you are trying for a compromise for dinner at 7:30, but be careful where you book if you need that time frame to eat, and not just check in. SOme restaurants are known to run late, so a 7:30 ADR for 'Ohana may not mean you are seated at 7:30, but that you checked in at that time.

Look at what time Wishes is scheduled if you are booking monorail restaurants that have a view of the display. That makes a difference in regards to timely seating. Restaurants like Coral Reef seem to get backed up very early and will often be running late. I dont know why.

I dont know the reason your sister has insisted on a 7PM cutoff for dinner, but I would find out before I make ADR's for a later time because if she has a reason other then she likes an earlier dining time, and the restaurant you choose is known for running late, a 7:30 ADR could really mean 8 PM before you are even seated.

We tend to dine later in WDW. We eat late at home anyway, so I make ADR's between 7 and 8 PM for the most part.

DH & I just don't require a lot of sleep normally. We rope drop/morning EMH very frequently and then by 7:00pm, we are getting our second wind for the evening. On vacation, or anytime we are treating ourselves to a night out, we want the night to last as long as possible so our reservations are almost always after 7:30pm. If the restaurant has a good bar menu and/or entertainment, we will set a dining reservation closer to 9:00pm+/-. If we plan to go to a bar/lounge/entertainment after dinner, we are more likely to set a dining reservation around 7:30 or so.

We usually schedule our dinner ADRs for 8:00 pm or thereabouts. We usually are in the lounges around 6 pm for 2 hours of drinking time.

5:00/5:30, the same time we eat dinner at home.
