What time for midday meal do you choose?

We plan to arrive early entry for HS, so we will be up early, and I want to make a 50's PTC Fantasmic dining for midday.
Do you think it's better to choose a time like 11 or more like 1:30?
We are a party of 11 (3 kids). We will definitely need to eat something before noon, but should it just be a snack?
For "dinner", we will just grab something close to the entrance of F! or buy snacks inside, I'm thinking.

I would time your lunch based on what the kids can tolerate. Will they be antsy by 1:30? I know adults that are LOL! If so, do the early route and then snack your way through the rest of the day as needed. Enjoy!

I would recommend the earlier seating, mainly because seating tends to get backed up there. So a 1:30 reservation could easily see you not being seated until after 2:00. Also, if you know that some of the party will be hungry before noon anyway, it makes more sense in my opinion to have your meal early and the snack later, if needed, than to have the snack early and possibly not be hungry at your reservation time.

We don't do a big breakfast and always get to the parks early so I'd always choose the earlier lunch.
Keep the snack for mid afternoon.

I’m going to say 1 or 1:30 for Primetime. I agree that you probably won’t be seated right at your reservation time, but I’d still opt for a morning snack and later lunch. It would keep my kids full later into the day and okay with just snacks at dinner time. An early lunch works for me, but the rest of my family gets hangry and they would definitely need another meal.

Keep it small beforehand no matter what times. Don’t wanna fill the stomachs too much before a hearty meal at that place! Maybe a cookie or a Joffrey’s donut?

Rope dropping restaurants is one of my favorite hacks. Things are slow and you are ahead of the curve with your orders
