Over an hour for the California Grill. Its happened twice now.
We got a long wait to be seated, mediocore food, a crowded dining area and poor service both times we were there. We gave them a second chance last trip because everyone raves about this place, but they won't be getting a third.
I think our longest was about 20-30 minutes at Chefs de France in December during the Candlelight Processional dinner package. We didn't mind waiting. Next longest was 15-20 for Le Cellier. We usually end up waiting about 5 minutes.
Waited for about an hour with a PS at Le Cellier and another time for an hour at Boma (AKL) again with a PS. We showed up 15 minutes early each time too. Usually we are in within 20 minutes.
35 minutes at Jiko back in May of 2001. I was livid!! I watched people come in after us come in and get seated. When DH went to the podium to find out what was wrong, they misplaced our PS...how lovely!! It definitely wasn't worth the wait either. The food was okay and the dessert I ordered was just yucky!
The best PS was at The Grand Floridian Cafe where we were sat immediately upon arrival. I just had to wait for DH to park the car and our table was ready.
In 97, on our first trip. We waited about 1.5 hours for our PS at the Crystal Palace for breakfast. We had a late one, about 10, and it was raining real hard, so no one wanted to leave the restaurant. Even the porch was packed with hardly any room left for people to stand and get out of the rain.
Forty minutes for dinner at the Hollywood Brown Derby last December, after disembarking from the Magic that morning at an ungodly hour. NOT a pretty site with my child who was in major meltdown mode. Never again.
Most of the time it takes 10 minutes. Only once 4 years ago we waited 30 minutes at Cindy's. The time did go by quickly though. Alice was there telling stories. If we had to just sit and wait I'm sure we would have eaten elsewhere.
