How Long Does a Typical Table Service Meal Take?

[blacknebula]

Planning a trip to WDW in early Feb (prior to President's Day, supposedly not too crowded). I did a bunch of ADRs but am now worrying that they are too close to the evening fireworks/parades etc. Places like Sci-Fi at Studios, Teppan Edo at Epcot etc. How much time should I allow? TIA

I'd allow about an hour from the time you are seated to when you walk out. Sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. There's no telling if you will have a wait once you check in.

Don't forget to factor in travel time if going elsewhere for a show/fireworks.
AND you probably need to be at these places somewhat early to get a good viewing spot.

post your plans & we can tell you if it'll work...give the ADR time & location, as well as where you want to see fireworks or shows. Without knowing your plans, it's difficult to say "yes" or "no". For example, if you're eating at Biergarten at 7:00 p.m. and want to see Illuminations at 9, you'll be fine. But if you want to get to DHS for an 8:30 Fantasmic, then it would be a no-way-will-you-make-it.

I don't understand this post. Did I miss something? I agree with the other posters. These ADR times look fine.

What?

OP - I also think you will be fine. Even if you are seated 20 min - 1/2 hour after your ADR time, you still should have enough time to get yourself situated before Fantasmic and Illuminations.
