Need Expert Advice on Timing ADR and Savi's

[photo_chick]

OK, we arrive on a Sunday in late June. We will not make RD this day so RotR is not a factor. We will get to the park around noon. I already have a ressie for Savi's workshop at 5 PM. I'm also planning a Hollywood and Vine ADR for that day. I'm thinking for a late lunch around 2-2:30. My question, is that enough time to finish lunch there? I feel like it is, but we've never done Hollywood and Vine so I'm not sure how long a meal typically lasts. Things like if they tend to be slow to get you seated, slower character interactions etc. I know we do Chef Mickey and Crystal Palace every trip and that's enough time for those normally, but it's also during free dining and that throws a wild card into the mix, too. Last time I did free dining was in 2010 and every TS was a long wait. But that was when it was all DDP, there was no Quick Service Dining plan.

I just want to double-check with the Dis experts because we cannot miss Savi's. My gut says to push the ADR a little earlier, but I'd rather have time to take in the park before we eat since we haven't been in 2 years. (that sounds so first world and spoiled, I know). Gah... decisions.

Any help or experience would be appreciated.

I can’t imagine any meal taking a full 2.5-3 hours. I don’t have kids, so characters tend to spend less time with us when we do character meals, but even so... I would probably book around 2 if you are that worried. Or do dinner after Savi’s, which is about 20-30 minutes. We checked in 10 min early, but they asked us to hang around and wait until closer to our reservation at 5:50. We paid around 5:45, then went in basically right on time. I texted my sister at 6:23, so we were out by then.
