When's Dinner

[bytheblood]

Simply out of curiosity, what time do you try to make your dinner ADRs for?

Clearly I cannot type in the dark without my contacts in for spell-checking. Sorry about the typo in the poll question.

We eat early at home so try to on vacation..So 430pm

 

[eelkmj01]

We typically try for the 5 o'clock hour

My girlfriend and I try to do later dinners. We like later dinners because there are less kids, and since we don't have kids ourselves we would like to take advantage of that while we can. Also, I know that a lot of people out there do have kids and they tend to need the earlier dinners, so I personally would find it rude of me to take the earlier dinner times.

6 PM gives up time to eat and still make it to fireworks/parade...

 

[TreslovesWDW]

I try to get around 6:00

This year 6:30pm because we are doing Deluxe Dining for the first time and don't want to eat to early because of TS lunches.Kids are getting older and should be able to handle eating later as well.

Other years we would do 5:00 because of their ages.

We eat between 6 and 6:30 at home, so that is when I try to eat on vacation. We usually eat lunch a little early and always like a nice snack in the afternoon, so that time usually works for the kids.

We eat dinner between 6.30 and 8.00 pm. It all depends on how late we get back in and that depends on what DD has on in the afternoon/early evening. DD is usually hungry by 7.00. I am happy with dinner around 8 pm so 7.30 what we aim for.

Well, generally for our first night we try for later ADR's - after 8:00 pm or so. We are coming from the mountain time zone, so it's easier for us to stick to something closer to our normal dinner time while we try to get used to the new time zone we are in. Starting the following day we generally try to have dinner ADR's made for 6:30-7:30 pm.

Usually around 7:00 -7:30.

We only have one dinner ADR for Ohana at 5pm. All the rest are breakfast and lunch. Breakfast at from 8:05am & 9:50, and lunches ranging from 11:05-12:55. I tried to get most of them when the restaurant opens so we don't have to wait a long time to be seated

Our time depends on our plans for that day. IF we are going to a MNSSHP, we try to eat between 4:30-5:00. If we are going to do an evening emh, we try to eat later like 7 or 8.

 

[Cat0727]

We typically try and make reservations for anytime between 4:30-5PM

 

[Pugmalion1]

Voted for 7:30, although we're planning on making our reservations a little later than usual on our next trip.

We have no kids, we're young, and we like to hang out at bars before and after dinner. It just makes sense to plan everything for a later time than when the families usually make their reservations. Plus we're planning on getting a late start on most days, anyway.

This poll explains why we never have any trouble getting reservations!

Thank you early birds!

 

[Thumper_Man]

Usually depends on where we are, and what we want to do. What time we ate lunch, or if we ate lunch. We usually shoot for sometime between 5 and 6., but will occasionally do a late dinner between 7 and 8.

 

[PJAY]

I voted for 4:30 but we will book anywhere from 4:20 to 7 p.m. depending on where we are, what we are doing and what was available at the time we made the ADRS.
If it's a place we really want, we are willing to eat earlier/later.

Thank you early birds!

Exactly!!! My fiance and I shoot for 9:00 b/c we know we'll have no problem getting a reservation and being seated quickly. Also, we're up later and have no kiddies so, why not?

 

[916chipndale]

we usually get reservations for 5-6 pm
