If time is money, then saving time is as valuable as saving money, right? This Thursday's Tip will keep save you time waiting in long lines to purchase food: eat at off-peak times. Specifically, for lunch, before 11:30 or after 2:30. (Dinner isn't quite as critical, but I recommend avoiding the 6:00 p.m. hour.)
Let's face it: most of us get a little cranky when we're hungry, don't we? The last thing we need is to stand in line for twenty minutes or more just to get a sandwich and a Coke. By choosing a non-typical meal time, you can salvage enough extra time to squeeze in another attraction--and avoid hunger crankiness!
Most WDW eateries open at 11:00 a.m. for lunch (if they aren't open for breakfast). If your family is like mine, you probably get up early and have breakfast around 7:00 a.m. or so, before going into the Parks. So, by 11:00, you're ready to have lunch. Arrive when a restaurant opens and you'll be among the first in line. Not only that, but some WDW restaurants have fun opening traditions. If you arrive at Casey's Corner at opening, you just might get to throw out the "first pitch" to Casey. (Those standing by get to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and are awarded with free Cracker Jacks.)
Of course, if you have more self control than my crew, you can also opt to eat late. Grab a mid-morning snack at around 10:30, and enjoy short lines and empty tables after 2:30 p.m. at most counter service restaurants throughout the World.
