Bog and CRT late dinners/park closing??

[boogiebeaglemom]

As ppl are finding out there are a ton of 9pm on reservations first week in November, if you have reservation at 9:20 and it says park is closing at 10pm, do you know if the meal is rushed??

Would like to know this too, as we just snagged a 9:30PM CRT reservation on a day the MK closes at 10PM. Thank you!

I Would like to know as well. I have a 9:15 for Nov. 15th CRT. Curious because I have read to allot 90 minutes for the whole experience.

Here's my story... We had BOG on December 19 last year and secured a dining reservation for 830pm. We weren't seated until almost 9pm after we checked in at 815pm.

The food came out pretty quickly and the waitstaff was great, HOWEVER, the last time that Beast comes out for pictures was around 930 (i think?) and they strongly encourage you only to get a picture with him as you leave. In short, they sort of rushed us out the door but did so in a way that it didn't feel like it. (ie: "You really should get a picture with the master of the castle before he goes to bed"... hint hint hint).

Suffice to say, I still think that BOG Lunch is better for both pace and food. We never feel rushed and can enjoy the ambiance of the rose room for as long as we'd like.

I have not eaten a late meal at either of those locations, but did have an ADR about 15-20 minutes before park closing at Tusker House once. We didn't feel rushed and the servers also made sure they asked which resort you were returning to so they could arrange for a bus to be there for you. I think they somehow got the last group of diners out around the same time to coordinate buses, but I know we were done eating and ready to go at the time.

I did have a late meal at Crystal Palace once and it worked out good for characters since the restaurant got quiet and we got to see characters more than one time each.

I had a 9:00 pm dinner reservation at CRT last year, but we were held up and late by almost twenty minutes due to the parade. We were last to be seated around 9:30, and while the cast members were extremely pleasant and accommodating, we felt swarmed at the end by all the princesses coming up to the table as we were trying to order food. Seems that they were in a rush to close out their appearances. The meal itself we did not feel rushed to finish quickly. I believe we were at the castle until 10:15 or so. We are totally to blame for showing up so late, poor planning on our part did not take into account the routes to the castle being blocked for the parade on Main street. Hope this helps!
