How long does it take at Tusker House?

[Dakota731]

if we eat at 6 can we make it to Rivers of light at 715?

Probably. Depends on how long it takes the characters to come through.

I wouldn't schedule these so close together. You'd have to rush through and it wouldn't be as enjoyable as a leisurely meal.

If you snort the food instead of chewing, you should have no problem.

I'd allow 90 minutes to be safe. Sometimes you get seated on time, sometimes not. Sometimes the characters are quick, sometimes a family of 12 has to take individual and group pictures and get 25 autographs. It really comes down to luck. In my experience 90 minutes has been our max character time with 75 or so being the average. Don't forget to allow time to walk to the ROL entrance. Does the show begin at 7:15 or is that when you can get seated? If it starts at 7:15 I doubt you'd make it. People will begin getting seated 45 minutes or so ahead of time. If it starts at 8 you will be fine.

Tusker House is notorious for seating late - you would have to factor in a wait for your table

In general if you rush through things to get to the next thing, it is more stressful than fun, and you miss out on the here and now. Tusker House is one of my favorite restaurants. I would allocate plenty of time to allow for being seated late (as others said, this often happens), and to enjoy the meal and characters at a comfortable pace. It's amazing how much more fun WDW is if you slow down and live in the present moment.

We were there for dinner a couple of weeks ago and it took exactly one hour. I would guess probably another ten minutes to walk to Rivers of Light, more if you need to make a restroom stop. I'm guessing that the show doesn't start until 8 that night? If so, you will be fine. We had the TH ROL dining package and didn't check in until 10 mins before show time and it was fine.

Disney site says it starts at 715? That was the only availability. I never visited in December before and am bummed how little dining is left. I just did a search for breakfast and a total of five choices are left. I've had reservation finder searches for months and had never gotten a text. It was so much easier during summer visits. I'm fearful of how the crowds are going to be!

Keep checking. Fast passes come out at 60 days, final payment at 45. Folks will be shoring up and fine tuning their plans

Are you subscribed to the December cancel thread? Touring plan reservation finder has also worked for many folks

Hang in there, it will work out....just keep swimming
