    Hello - I was wondering what is considered "peak" dining times for each meal. THANK YOU!

    Hi Tammy,

    In our  experience the peak breakfast hour is from 8am to around 9am. The lunch crowds seem to roll in around noon until around 1:30pm and dinner seems to start around 5:30-7pm. Of course many have discovered this trend, including my family, and therefore have adjusted their schedule while at Disney World.

    We typically find shorter lines right at the start of lunch, 11-11:30am. Then to avoid the dinner crowds we like to make a late afternoon reservation, like 4pm or a late evening reservation after 8pm. Some locations, like Rose and Crown at Epcot, are very popular later in the evening because a table here, at that time, often allows guests the chance to sit and enjoy Illuminations. Most of the time, if we have planned ahead and reserved our dining locations at the ninety day mark, we have experienced few problems with the crowds even in the middle of the rush. Reservations are taken ninety days in advance by calling 407-WDW-DINE or 407-939-3463.
