Time at Character Meals

[Tjkane28]

Hello all:

As a first timer, I am trying to gather as much info as possible as I plan this magical trip.

I have some questions about the character meals. How long should I plan on staying at the retaurant for the following meals:

Hollywood and Vine Lunch (1:30 PM)

Cindy's Table Breakfast (8:30 AM)

Chef Mickey's Dinner (5:00 PM)

1900 Park Dinner (5:00 PM)

Crystal Palace Breakfast (8:10 AM)

Any experience and annecdotal info is most appreciated. I need to plan park visits.

Peace

We find most of the buffet character meals take about an hour.That is actual time at the table. If you have a wait for your table that would add a little more time. We have done CP and H&V.

I agree. About 1 hour from the time you're seated until the time you leave. Depending on how crowded it is, you'll probably see each character once (at least) or maybe twice.

What great choices! We did three(Cindy's, CP and CM) of the character meals you have listed-I agree with an hour. Be sure and have your camera/camcorder ready before the characters actually arrive at your table-some of the cutest video we have is outside the Crystal Palace. Our 2 y/o dd was so excited when she saw Pooh and friends she just kept pointing and saying "Look, Pooh in dere!" Tigger really clowned around with our dd's-kissing them on the heads and tickling their cheeks. You are going to have a blast!!
