Hello! I'm trying to plan our park plans and dining, and I want to make sure we're done eating in time for whatever we're doing that night. Just so I'm prepared and can plan on the safe side, how long did you have to wait at these restaurants...

Tutto Italia
Crystal Palace
50's Prime Time
Narcoossees
Le Cellier
The Plaza

TIA! :worship:
 
First of all, I wanted to add that many variables are factored in such as party size, speed of the shift's crew at the restaurant, speed of the eaters before you, what the people before you order, if people have been on time to their ADRs... lots of factors change the outcome but here are our experiences for the 4 we have eaten at since Sept 2007 all party of 2:


50's Prime Time- ADR for 12:10PM, arrived 15 minutes early and were seated at 12:20.

Narcoossee's- ADRs at 7:15PM, 6:30PM and 7:55PM during different trips: at 7:15PM we arrived a few minutes early and had to wait until 7:45 to be seated, 6:30PM we arrived 10 minutes early and were seated right away, 7:55PM arrived 25 minutes early and were seated 10 minutes after arrival.

Le Cellier- ADRs at 12:10PM, 12:15PM, 5:55PM and 6:10PM during different trips: at both 12:10PM and 12:15PM we arrived at noon and waited under 5minutes, 5:55PM we arrived at 5:30PM and were seated right away, 6:10PM we arrived just after 6:00PM and waited 30 minutes.

The Plaza- had ADR for 1:00PM but we were so hungry we we asked to be seated asap when we arrived at 11:40AM, they took us in within a minute.
 
I've never eaten at the Plaza.

THe others, except for Crystal Palace, have been minimal waits.

Crystal Palace, I think it was somewhere in the 20-30 min past our ADR range.
 

We rarely had to wait more than 5 minutes for our seating. The meal itself varied depending on where we ate.
 
We ate at Tutto's, 50's, and CP during Spring Break. We waited about 5 minutes at Tutto's, 10 at 50's and probably 10-15 at CP.
 
When I have been to 50's Prime Time Cafe and The Plaza, I usually waited 5 minutes after checking in for our ADR, although that was during lunch time.
 
It depends on how big your party is, the time of dining( the later it is the more possibility of being backed up),whether Free Dining is going on and the popularity of the restaurant.For meals I allow 90 mins. Sometimes ( Like at CP I have not even been seated till 45 mins PAST adr time).
 
Le Cellier seems to get quite a crowd building up around dinner time.. I've waited about 20 minutes.
 
In June, we waited well over an hour (almost 2!) for ADRs at Sci-Fi and CR. Horrible! CP we waited 15 mintues had little to no wait everywhere else (inc. LC). At Sci-Fi and CR, our servers told us they were triple booked and that's why everyone hated the new dining system.
