I’m making some touring plans and trying to figure out how much time to allow for table-service meals. I think my ideal duration is 60 to 75 minutes, but there’s only so much control diners have over that. How long does a TS meal generally take at WDW, from check-in to out-the-door? Does it vary much from one restaurant to another? Would love to hear from recent visitors, as I suspect this is yet another thing that may be different in the pandemic era.
I agree that this is the average. But if the wait after check-in is extra long, the total time could be at least 75 minutes.
Breakfasts are typically under 60 minutes. Our A&C breakfast was 40 minutes max. That was instant seating though.

Agree that 75 is usually sufficient. I typically plan on 90 mentally though, and 2hrs or more at signature to fully enjoy the experience.

75 is reasonable, but I always plan for 90.

Do y’all find any difference in duration of in-park vs. non-park WDW meals, on average?
I generally see longer wait times for in park restaurants than resort restaurants, but I agree with everyone else on duration. Signature meals definitely take the most time and I would reserve 90+ for any of those you do.

Hmmm. It should be the opposite since you are already paying to be in the park, so that time is more valuable.

It should be, but not my experience usually. Which I guess makes sense bc they are constantly juggling people arriving early or late trying to plan around other things they’re trying to accomplish that day.
