ADR during MVMCP

[darnheather]

I think I've messed up my ADR's. We are not planning to go to the MVMCP and I have an ADR scheduled for Tony's in the middle of one. I need to cancel and make other arrangements right?

As much as many of you hate Tony's I was really looking forward to taking my girls there.

ETA: And I have a BBB at 5:50 on another MVMCP night in Disney. Is that a no-no too? Help!

It depends on the time of your ADR, if it is before they clear the park if non party guests than you are fine to go ahead and eat, however you will be asked to exit the park immediately after leaving Tony's.

However if your ADR is after the park is party guests only, you will not be permitted to get to Tony's as that's where the stipulation if valid theme park entry required comes in, as you won't have valid tickets after 7pm.

Grrr, it's at 7:25

You should be fine at BBB. Why not consider Akershus for dinner that night? Also, with a 5:50 appt., you would have really cut it close with your dinner reservation that night.

The BBB is a different night and we're doing 1900 that night. Akershus is already scheduled for a different night. I don't want to have to move anything else if possible.

Oh, I see. Your BBB should be fine. So long as your reservation is before 7 PM, they will let you eat, be glamorized, what have you. Since it's not the same night as your BBB, can you see about getting a table like at 6:30 PM? They will let you eat and take your time in the restaurant.

you might be taking a risk if you tried it because it is possible they will not let you stay in the park but you could get to the park before the party starts and just go to Toni's check in for your ADR early and just stay right on the porch or in the waiting area at Toni's till your table is ready. I would think that if you were right at the restaurant and not walking around they would not ask you to leave.

When we were there last year they made the announcement for the party. We asked a cast member who advised us that we would not be asked to leave but we would be denied entrance to any rides, stores and restaurants. So we slowly made our way to main street, hung out for a bit on the street, we got to see the snow and we saw some of the parade. No one said a word to us.

The ADR has to be before 7pm. After 7pm the OP will not have valid park admission. When you make an ADR you are advised of this.

You received incorrect information. For a hard ticket party, there are CMs that walk around asking to see wristbands and those without wristbands must leave and are not permitted to walk around. That is really not fair to those who paid extra for the party.

None of this will work. Any reservation beginning at 7:00 requires valid park admission which in this case is the party ticket. You can show up early at the restaurant or hang around in the waiting area, but if you don't have a party ticket you will not be seated.

My husband reminded me I was forgetting an important detail about that night. We stopped to try to get some photo pass stuff straightened out at the town hall. We were denied entrance and told the park was under a "hard close"
Making sure I added this to the discussion. Accurate information is critical to the integrity of these boards. I don't want to contribute to false information.

We have never been to any of the parties even though we were there during a time when we could have gone to both. It might be worth it if the party falls on a non park day or an arrival day.
