How long to assume for total lunch time for..

[Luisfba]

About how much time should I plan for total time (getting seated + lunch) for a lunch reservation (starting sometime between 11:30-11:40) at Liberty Tree Tavern in a low crowd type day (12/13).

Same for CRT at noon.

Trying to figure out what works best with my plans/FPs, etc.

I think 90 min is a safe number for most meals, especially meals where you want to enjoy the character experience.

Thanks. I figured CRT was definitely going to be longer given the character experience, but really wasn't sure about a regular / non-character one like LTT.

Even with LTT, I'd still budget 90 min. Gives you some wiggle room if there is a wait or the service is slow and less stress about FPs and plans. I did not follow my own advice last week and we almost cut it too close for the Frozen ride. With a wait of 120 min in the regular line, I was not going to "Let it Go!"

LTT will depend somewhat on how many courses you order and how big your group is. For my family of three, we usually order three courses at LTT (shared app, entree, and shared dessert) and our meal generally takes between 60 and 75 minutes. I've found that LTT is one of the quicker locations, but to be safe, I'd also budget 90 minutes just in case you have to wait a bit for your table (there is no way to predict this in advance).
