Late TS Dinners or Early TS Dinners?

Which do you prefer?...Late TS Dinners or Early TS Dinners?
We prefer late TS dinners because we like to maximize our time at the parks, eat late, & then head back to our resort.

I do a mix. If I am trying to catch a night time show like Illuminations or Fantasmic!, I will have an early dinner. On a regular night, I like to do a late dinner at a signature for a quiet, peaceful meal.

I like my ts dinners to be between 6 and 7 pm that way I can wear myself out doing the parks sit relax and eat and be out in time for the night time shows. That is with the exception of an AK day when we usually eat dinner after the park closes.

We tend to do later ones.

When the DS's were little, we always did ts lunch at about 1:30-2 p.m. to get out of the heat of the sun. After that, we hit the stores for a bit and then around 5, when everyone started heading out for dinner, we'd hit all the popular rides and then get something QS around 7:30. These hours pretty much guaranteed not getting stuck eating during the busiest times. Now we go at Christmastime and mixed it up a bit.

Ours are normally later, but this year, booked most of them between 6-7pm

I like early ones so I have room for a snack during the night shows. It's also a good excuse to sit down and take a break after running around all day.

We always aim for about 7 to 7:30 dinner times. Sometimes we will go early or later if we are trying to catch a show or fireworks

Anytime between 7.00pm and 9.00pm..

We usually book early dinners around the park that is open later. Then after dinner we still have some time for rides. If it is a buffet, definitely early to give some time to walk it off.

We tend to book most of our dinners for 8:30 PM or later. Because we like to visit during the Food & Wine Festival, this allows us time to brunch around the Festival Marketplace and still have room to enjoy a sit-down dinner that night. Also, as a child-free couple, it lets us visit restaurants later in the evening when they have a more grown-up vibe.

We are early diners. At home we rarely have dinner later than 5:30pm. At WDW it is no different. Our dinner ADRs are usually for 4:30-5:30pm, that gives us another 3 or more hours of park time after dinner which we enjoy to the fullest!

We usually have early TS ADR's so we can then spend the rest of our night at a park. Actually our table services tend to mostly lunches around our mid-day break time whenever possible.
