Thanks! I'm trying to do our DHS itinerary and wasn'tsure how long to allow for our lunch. I can't fit in all the shows I'd like to see so something will have to go!
The meal for us on the deluxe plan was about an hour. It moved along pretty nice. (We looped through the movie clips when we were finishing dessert, so however long the movie clips are.)
We checked in about 30 minutes before our time & there were a lot of people waiting. I think we were seated in about 15 minutes? It was the longest wait we had the whole trip. (But we were still seated early!)
We actually were a walk-in and got seated in about 5 minutes (this was 2:30 on Saturday). We had checked out the QS next door and nothing appealed so on a whim we tried Sci-Fi. They told us it'd be a 20 minute wait, which was fine by us as it was downpouring outside and at least we were staying dry. A couple in front of us in the check in line was also walk-up and got seated just before us. It appeared to be pretty full in the dining room but I think we lucked out that they had a couple two-seaters to fill up.
I would leave yourself 90 minutes, but the three times we've been it was more like an hour. I think a lot of the food is premade, so they just plate it and send it out. We got our food really quickly, as well as our desserts. The longest wait was for the check.
