Lunch vs. Dinner

[maranara]

A quick dining question...at what time do restaurants in the park change from the lunch menu to the dinner menu? My family is really happy eating a big breakfast and then a super late lunch/early dinner...but I'm not sure what meal they'll actually be serving at 3ish. And maybe the more important question, is there a place where you can view the timeslots for different restaurants without booking? (since then I could go and look at the individual restaurants!) THANKS!

Lunch is usually up until 4:00 and then it switches to Dinner and Dinner menus, if the menus differ.

You can check availability by using Dining in your MDE app. Just don't confirm a booking but you can see available time slots.

Perfect! In a few cases we liked the lunch menu better, so that works out great for us. I'll have to start playing with the app tonight once the kiddo goes to bed!

Lots of restaurants in the parks have gone to "All day" menus. Where there is a difference I agree 4 is common for the change. Early dinners are popular with many families, so make your ADR's as soon as you can.
A thought you didn't ask for - breakfast hours eat into prime park touring hours.
We do very differently than you. We grab a quick breakfast in the room, an early QS lunch & dinner around 7. Dinner at 3 -4 would not work for us. Just one more example of how everyone is different and there is no one right way.

Totally! My kiddo is a super early riser - one day on vacation last summer she slept late...till 6...and it was glorious. So we'll have plenty of time to eat a big breakfast at the resort and still make it to rope drop.
