How much time do you allow for set down dining?

[Tigger1]

We ware about to make reservations for dining in August. I want to be sure to allow enough time to do the night extra hours. We will be eating mostly in Epcot then traveling to MGM and MK. We Also want to See the fireworks display and Fantasmic. Any suggestains?

Thanks Tigger

I would plan on at least an hour. Sometimes, it could take as long as an hour and a half.

A lot always depends on how many of you there are, if you actually get seated on time, and if you order appetizers, drinks, etc etc.
For most TS spots--if I had to "average" it out over the years--I'd say about an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half. That's for just the two of us, ordering drinks, appetizers and dessert along with the meal.

There are four in our party. We had the Dining Plan on our last trip so we definitely ordered appetizers and desserts! We usually allowed an hour and a half for our meals, except for the evening we dined at the Biergarten (buffet). Enjoy!

If you want to enjoy your meals don't schedule things to tight. A delay in seating or service could spoil your meal if you spend it thinking you are going to miss the next item on your schedule.

We always figure about an 1 1/2 hours for dinner.

would you all say this time frame is the same if the meal is buffet style?
