ADR's and MNSSHP

[1hero2princesses]

OK I am confused. I have a adr for Crystal Palace on Friday Sept. 26th at 5:30pm. Made 180 days out, before the MNSSHP was announced. Now I have read from other people the restaurants don't open till 6 on those days and that you can't get a adr without a ticket to mnsshp? I already have an adr? Do I need to call disney dining? I am thinking about doing mnsshp either the 23rd or the 26 but the 23rd is cheaper (tuesday) and I wouldn't probably do a sit down that night anyway so we can be in position when stuff starts, my kids are little and I don't know how long they would last...

That is my favorite place to eat on party nites. Close to where I want to start in the park, good food and fast. You can actually start eating there about 4:30 I believe. I try to get an ADR before 5 p.m. because you can ride a lot of rides from 6 to 7 before the formal opening of the party. Your party ticket gets you into the park at 4 pm.

Not sure on what thread you read any of that. Park restaurants are open all day long. Many stay open for the party as well. I believe after 7:00 (official time of the party) you will need a ticket in order to be on the grounds including dining.

MK is open until 7:00 on MNSSHP days and anyone (with park admission) can be there or eat in the restaurants until then.
