Most Crowded Dining Times During Free Dining?!

[qanita92]

Most of our dinners are between 5-5:30 and lunches between 11:10-11:30 and I'm curious whether these times will be crazy. What are crowded times?

Let me guess.

11:00 to 1:00 is most crowded for lunch and 5:00 to 8:00 is most crowded for dinner.

If you already have ADR's (reservations) you should not have any problem other than a possible getting behind schedule at a restaurant resulting in a delay being seated.

"The reason why we have lunch now is because it is lunch time."

OT: However you do not trade in a car because it is time to trade it in. There is no such time, I say and also Suzanne Fremon writes in a book about how to keep a car running almost indefinitely.

actually, depending on the restaurant (if they are not open for b'fast continually 'til lunch or lunch continually 'til dinner) those times for TS restaurants are not the crowdedest/longest waits/etc because the restaurant may be empty 'til they open at 11 for lunch or 5pm for dinner, so a 5pm dinner ressie could also be a very smart choice!

however, if they are open straight thru (i.e. crystal palace) then *all* times are busy 'cause they never empty out/re-set/re-open...

I know last year in August, in MK, signs were posted in the evening indicating there was no availability for walk ups in TS restaurants.

I already have all my ADRs for the TS locations I'm just worried about CS places

For lunch at CS places we get there for opening( between 1030-1100) and they are seldom busy.They are cranking up to overload when we are finishing about 1130-1145, and generally stay like that till about 2pm .Dinner times around 330pm-5pm are quieter,and crank up around 5pm

With your early dinner times, you should have no problem with short waits for CS meals at or around 11:00 am. We usually are in the same situation, so we make it a point to eat an 11:00 lunch. By the time we're done eating, the lines really start to get long.

those are the best times. Last year we ate before 11:30 for lunch and found it a great time before the mad rush. We made our dinner ressies for between 4:30 & 5:30 and found it worked out well. I think the later you make them you have to worry about waiting around for people to finish up, when you have the first dinner appts. you dont have to worry about that. I think we only wait once about 5 minutes the rest were pretty much on time.
