Be Our Guest and Halloween Party

[mmouse50]

1 day only at MK and will be attending Halloween party Columbus Day weekend. Part of the group wants to eat at Be Our Guest so I was thinking on doing a very late lunch / early dinner around 4:30. That should get us out around 6:00, correct?

Yes, but you are losing 2 hours of park time if that matters to you.

Something you might want to keep in mind is that sometimes party activities start before the party. The last party we went to was in 2019, so take that for what it is worth, but party activities started around 5:30 or so. We got a picture with Moana, shopped for party merch, took a Magic Shot, did the walk behind MSUSA and got on line for Lotso all before the party officially started at 7.

Another thing you might want to also consider is that if your party priority is something that tends to be very popular (like photos with Jack and Sally or the 7 Dwarves, etc.) those lines start long before the party does. Getting out of dinner at 6:00 could leave you with a bit of a wait at the start of the party.

Since there will be quite a few parties before yours, I would make your ADR, but pay attention to the reports and reviews of the parties as they come out. If things seem to be trending where you might benefit from not having the TS, just cancel, and change your plans around. A lot of it will depend on your personal preference and what you plan to get out of the party.

The parties are very expensive to loss any of the time for eating a sit down meal.
The Halloween party has alot of special events/happenings.
You are going to really weight your options

We did this last year and plan on doing the same for this upcoming trip. It worked out great for us!

We did 430 BOG several years ago before the party and we regretted it because, by the time we finished dinner at 6ish, all the characters had long lines.

We are 3 adults who visit around holiday season every 2-3 years usually have dinner at 4 or 4:30 before MVMCP the Friday before Thanksgiving and have not always been able to get BOG so have a backup just in case we do Tony’s instead and go to BOG another MK day.

If characters aren't your priority - it should work, correct. We are mainly going for the rides, candy, parade and fireworks. Planning on doing MK on party day so it will either be re-riding or hopefully riding what we haven't done so far.

If you are already going to be in MK for the day, I would go more for a late lunch at like 2:45, this way you don't feel rushed and have a chance to digest so you can enjoy some of the party only treats that are available later on.

Let us know how the Halloween party is. We went last year and felt it wasn't worth the money they were charging - the park felt more crowded than usual, and Pirates wasn't even operating for 90% of it.
