MK to Narcoossee's and back - how much time?

[gzmtlock]

Have a 5:55 ADR for Narcoossee's, will be using it as a break from MK. To park plan around that, when should I leave MK? And by when would I be back? Small dining party, we don't want to rush through dinner, but we also won't linger. I've got FP+ for Wishes, trying to figure out if we can fit a nighttime ride on JC or BTMR in before (cuz both are so much better after dark!). touringplans crowd level 2

I would leave about 5 or a little after. You never know about delays. If you don't want to rush dinner, think 2 hours. That's just us.

Thanks, but I'm still a little confused. Do you mean I'll be back in MK by 8? Or leaving Narcoossee's, so back in MK about 30 minutes later (assuming not ideal wait time for monorail)?

Our dinner at Narcoosee's in 2011 took 2 hours. Like Dan said, I'd leave around 5 from MK. And I'd plan to leave GF around 8. You can take the boat to GF from MK. It will be quicker than the monorail because the Monorail goes to GF last from MK, and the boat goes to GF first. I'd take the Monorail back to MK, unless you have time to spare. Then you might consider taking the boat, but you'll go to the Polynesian Village first before MK. Have a nice dinner and trip!

You can always speed up dinner by not ordering apps or desserts, as a side note. When we went we had apps, entrees, desserts, and we weren't in a hurry.

As for when you will be back to MK, just figure how long it normally takes you to enjoy a nice relaxing meal. then add maybe 45 minutes to that after leaving GF to get back to MK. Pretty much as LTTN said above (or below). Your travel times may be quicker, but you do not want to miss your DR or your MK activities.

Leave at 4:45. That way you can take in some sights at the GF.

Don't skip dessert!!! If you like cheesecake- their almond encrusted cheesecake is soooooooo amazingly yummy!
