Cinderella's Dinner at Grand Floridian question..HELP

[jacksonfarms46147]

Hello everyone..I have a slight logitics problem with our ADR for Cinderella's dinner at the Grand Floridian. We have a reservation that night at 8:15 p.m. The problem is that that is also the night of the Christmas party we are going to. My question is..is it possible to do both without missing to much of the party? We intend to stay until midnight and get to the park at 4 p.m. so will be using the full extent of the ticket. I guess my question is how long does the meal with Cinderella last on average? Or how long does it take for the characters to circulate the room? I would appreciate any advice. I really don't want to cancel the Cindy dinner but feel we may have to if it makes the party a waste of time. Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you tried booking the dinner for another night? or maybe trying for earlier that evening, closer to 4-5pm? I wouldn't suggest leaving MVMCP. I think once you're there, you're not going to want to leave.

I love the dinner at 1900 PF, the stepsisters are absolutely hilarious!! When I went with my mother last year, our dinner was probably around an hour and a half. You will have to take into account that in all likelihood, you will have to wait a little for your ADR, and then you will want to have time to enjoy your dinner. I would personally save it for another night, or make an earlier reservation? I think you might end up missing more of the party that you would like (factoring in everything else such as transportation, etc).

I would also recommend changing your ADR to an earlier time or another night if at all possible. We had dinner there in 2006 before we attended MNSSHP. Our ADR was for around 4.30pm which was geat as we didn't have to rush dinner and still got into the MK before the party started.

With an 8.15pm ressie, you'll have to leave MK shortly after the party has started and then probably won't be back into the park until around 10pm.

1) You need to change the CRT ressies or the party date.
2) You will miss a lot of the party.
3) It is pretty expensive to give up that much time.
4) Plus, therea re a lot of Christmas activities during your CRT hours.

I would change that reservation. MVMCP tickets cost so much and there are so many special things that only occur during the party that you would miss. To leave for 1 or 2 hours at a party that only lasts 5 hours would be a waste of money. The stepsisters and Lady Tremaine have a dance party at MVMCP and you can meet Cinderella and her Prince in Toon Town during the party as well.

We are having a late lunch at Crystal Palace before our party and we plan on getting a CS dinner during if we get hungry. I'd suggest trying to get a very early dinner at 1900 PF or changing days if you need to.

I LOVED 1900 Park Fare, it was by far my favorite character meal. However, we our reservations were for 440pm, we got seated almost immediately but we didn't leave until about 6pm. PERSONALLY, as much as I loved it, I would pass on that reservation if it can't be changed. I think you will miss way to much of the party. You have to figure transportation times each way, plus time to get into and out of the park....all of that could easily add on 40-60 minutes. Sorry.
