MK to Narcoossee's - ADR timing?

[karly05]

So, if I'm walking out the exit of MK right around 6 pm and going to Narcoossee's for dinner, what's a good time to make my ADR for? I'd like to take the little boat over if it's running, but I know monorail is also an option (and GF is the last stop).

I've also got my fingers crossed for a Wishes FP for that night, as well, and assuming (this is next April I'm talking about) that Wishes will be at 10 pm - and what I'm really getting the FP for is Celebrate the Magic.

So, will I be OK time-wise to leave MK at 6, go to Narcoosee's for dinner, and get back to MK around 9-9:15? (And be able to get up Main Street to the Wishes FP area, or is it just going to be a mob scene?)

My trip is still 7 months and 2 weeks and whatever my ticker says away, and I can't stop hashing out plans.

I'm anxious to hear the responses you get for this as I also am wondering about timing to and from Nacroossee's. I have a ressie at 5:30 and am curious if I can make it back to MK for the electrical parade at 8.

From what I have read it is more of a slower paced meal and to expect to spend around 2 hours there.

I am in the same boat! We have a 6:05 Narcoossees reservation and FastPasses for Wishes (and a few other things) that night.
I am thinking that you'll have to make the reservation for closer to 6 and leave MK a little earlier in order to make all of your evening plans work out.

Signature meals usually take 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. Also, sometimes Narcoosees can be delayed in seating even when it's earlier evening reservations. I would make my ressie for around opening time and just enjoy the extra time at the MK after.

As the PP said, Signature meals generally take about 90 to 120 minutes, depending on the number of courses ordered (my family of three adults usually order three courses and it usually takes us about 2 hours). The boat from the MK to the GF can be very fast or it can take a while, depending on the crowds and how many boats are running. While it probably won't take a long time, I would still allow 45 minutes to get the GF (it once took my family that long because we had to wait for the third boat to arrive). Going that way, if you make your ADR for 7:00 pm, you probably won't get gone until 9:00 pm (or so), then allow another 15 to 30 minutes to get back to the MK, through bag check, and into the park and it's about 9:30 pm at this point.

I would consider moving everything earlier; personally, I would rather have more time after dinner than to feel rushed during dinner. Narcoossee's opens around 5:30 pm for dinner. Even if you went with a 6:00 pm ADR (leaving MK at 5:00 pm), that would give you more time to have a nice leisurely dinner and then get back to MK (I would take the monorail to get back - the boat is nice, but it's slower because it goes to the Poly before returning to the MK).
