Sit Down Restaurants- How much time is needed?

[wdwfanatic]

Some that I am thinking about are Blue Bayou, Cafe Orleans, Carnation Cafe, and Storytellers? How long have your alls dining experiences lasted at those sit downs? I want to make sure I don't use up too much ride time or miss parades! Thanks!

I think it depends on what meal you are eating and how fancy you want your meal to be. We had breakfast and lunch at Carnation Cafe and we were there maybe three quarters of an hour to an hour. Cafe Orleans for dinner - Monte Cristo, etc. took about an hour and a half (service is a bit slower). I think Blue Bayou (we never actually got to go because DS got really sick) or Storyteller's for dinner would take longer - depending on if you do drinks, appies, entree, dessert, etc. Probably a couple of hours...

We usually just get waters and we would probably only order entrees and possibly dessert...but we would definetly get dessert at Blue Bayou! I want that cookie boat NOW!

Blue Bayou is slower. They bring soup or salad with you entre. So if you are doing dessert too then you are looking at a three course meal. Possibly and hour and a half.

at the blue bayou we were there for almost 3 hours. NO exagerrating. The service was insanely slow (but it was the day before Thanksgiving) but that was fine with us since we had a waterside table and good company

It has always taken us awhile to get seated at the BB. Even though we have APRs. It takes us a little over an hour once we get in, but it's worth it for the atmosphere.

Carnation Cafe is always a quick meal -- good food & service so far. So probably about 45 to an hour depending on what we have ordered.
