Total time for CRT??

[disneyfam31]

How much time should I expect CRT to take in total from check in until we leave? Can we be out in an hour?

If I have a FP+ window for 7DMT that ends an hour and 40 mins after CRT reservation is that giving ourselves enough time to make it to the ride?

60-90 min.

You can certainly leave whenever you want.

Be sure to ask for your bill when you first order.
Pay it as soon as it comes, and you won't be wasting time at the end of your meal.

I would think so, as long as you also include arriving 15 minutes of time before your ADR time. I haven't experienced this yet, but from googling and searching through lots of posts, 1 1/2 hrs seems sufficient.

I've also read you have a small window (15 min) to check in after FP time although they do not have to honor it. If you're able to move the FP just slightly forward you may want to, but I know those hard to get FP kinda lock you in!

Anyone else with hands on experience, please chime in.

It took us two hours for our lunch at CRT - We had to wait on Cinderella to come and then everyone does pictures, etc ...

Wow. I was thinking 1.5 hrs at most. Seems like that takes up a lot of park time.

Do you feel the time spent was worth it for your family?

1) The time was SO NOT worth it.
2) The Food was horrible, and so was the service. I asked for the Steak Salad with NO dressing and NO blue cheese, and when they sent it with both, they would'nt take it back to fix it. I tired for some of the tiem to get a manager, but no luck.

We have NO PLANS to return

How long ago was your visit?
I would definitely email Disney guest services and request to call someone to discuss the situation.

It was back Oct/November of 2015 - I talked to guest services and they have us each an additional fastpass to use

I'm sorry they didn't comp the lunch for you.

I've heard both bad and good experiences for CRT. We're trying lunch there in August. I hope we have a good experience.

^^ Its all good Paigevon - just sharing my experience with the OP

I think it was mostly disapointing for us beucase we are a kidless family so it was just us and they ignored us for the most part - i think DUE to that.

And I was sad becuase it was my birthday

Oh that's awful! Yes I've heard stories of people without kids getting ignored at character meals. I'm so sorry! Hope next year's birthday is magical and makes up for it!

Sorry for hijacking OP!

I think, barring some crazy wait times, you're fine with your FP window. They do really try to turn tables quickly at CRT so I think we weren't there more than an hour last time. Again, there could be long wait times but as long as they aren't backed up, I think your timing is good. Like the PP said, just ask for your check early.
