My fiance and I try to have dinner around 9 pm when going out as to avoid the main dinner rush=D
 
When its just DH and I its usually 8-9pm ish. We used to work nights so always had an odd eating schedule. This trip the kiddo's will be with us so our dinners are anywhere from 430-630. I tried to make it earlier to fit with thier eating schedules. I made my ADR"s at 180 days exactly and got everything I wanted at pretty good times, this trip I made a point to get up and make ADR's on day 180 b/c the times were going to be more traditional dinner times.
 
We used to go for 7:30 but found that got kind of late for shows so now we make them for 7:00 and typically show up 15 minutes early.
 
I made mostly around 5:00 this way we have a better chance of not waiting but did make some varied times also. At Boma i made a 4:30 since i heard it does get packed. For Whispering Canyon since we will be staying onsite i made at 6:00 so we would have time to swim and not have to rush around as much. I think the later you go the more possibility of having to wait and i dont want to wait.
 

I like 5:30-6:00. Gives us time to still go back to the room and nap midday...but its not so late that DS2 moves into monster mode :laughing: We'd rather eat kind of early, then head back out to the rides or to do other things after.
 
It depends on the daily schedule, but most nights it is in the 645-730 range. We like to eat a little later on vacation
 
We try and make our ADRs for 5 pm. Lets us eat dinner early and still make fireworks at MK.

:dance3:
 
It varies for us... but usually whatever the first opening is, so 4 p.m. ish we aim for. We eat a late breakfast, like 10:30, 11:00 and then 4, 4:30 is perfect for dinner for us.

We do deluxe dining... so depends if we do lunch somewhere (around 2 or so)... then may do a later dinner like 6:00.

OR.... there are times we'll do dinner at 4:00 - and then come 8 or so we're ready to eat again, so technically doing an early and a late dinner.

If were only doing 2 meals a day, then is 10:30 or 11 breakfast, and 4, 4:30 for dinner!
 
Thanks for all the feedback.

Due to health reasons and meds I take, I have to have dinner by 5 PM; 6 PM at the latest. I was just curious what most Dis' peeps did. :)

I usually dont have an issue getting my reservation, but on occasion the more popular restaurants are a challenge, now I know why. :)
 
We aim for between 5-5:30pm, we found some TS didn't start seating until 5:30pm. We'd prefer 5pm because DD5 can barely stay awake during supper on vacation she's so exhausted:laughing: We make rope drop everyday with earlier Breakfast ADRs. But most nights we are in bed as soon as we watch Wishes at 8pm from our balcony at the Contemporary :goodvibes
 
Mine are all late, but not out of choice. (7:55pm, 7:30pm and 6:30pm) I'll keep checking to see if I can bump them earlier, but they might not be so bad after all.

The day of the 7:55 ADR I ended up making a lunch ADR for 11:00am. That's probably all the eating we'll do that day! :)

On the 6:30pm ADR we have a 7:30am breakfast ADR at Chef Mickey's, so that's a good stretch too - we can have a nice snack or share a couple of CS to hold us til dinner, right?
