I was just wondering how much time does it take for a TS meal? We have several planned, but was not sure how much time to plan they take? Will be at WDW the last week in October. Current ADR's are:
The Crystal Palace - 10:30am
50's Prime Time Cafe - 12:30 pm
Tusker House - 1:30pm
Le Cellier - 7:30pm
Be Our Guest - 5pm
Via Napoli - 5:30pm
Mama Melrose F! - 3pm
Thanks!

I guess it depends on how busy the restaurant is. Usually lunch service is quicker than dinner. I've eaten at Le'Cellier and 50's for dinner and both have taken around 1.5 hours from sit down to leave. I guess it depends also on how many people are in your party and will you get app, entree, and dessert.
We were a party of four on dining plan and it was about 1. 5 hours.
Have fun!
That really depends on many factors that all fall on who you are traveling with.
Buffets are much quicker (Crystal Palace, Tusker House) than if entrees are custom ordered and served.
Signature dining (Le Cellier) is going to take a little longer because it's a more leisurely atmosphere.
Honestly, I was with a group that spent more than 2 hours at Via Napoli because we were having such a good time and kept ordering more and drinking more and ordering more.
We were in and out of BOG in a little over an hour but it was early evening and they had just opened for the night.
Crystal Palace might take a little longer because they do have characters that visit each table and which ones you're family will want to see.
Table service restaurants seem to move single diners along more quickly. Although I never felt rushed at all by any server, I seemed to get faster service, most likely because I was just one, and did not order apps, drinks, or dessert (well, except for that grapefruit cake). However, I totally enjoyed the meals.
