Crystal Palace Special Events?

[chupacabra]

I was just trying to get some reservations in MK on a MNSSHP night that we will be there and it shows that Crystal Palace had hours posted from 7-8 on 10/4 and it said Special Ticketed Event. Does anyone know if this is going to be something that they are going to announce for the halloween parties?

I think it just means that you have to have an actual ticket to the event at the park to be able to get into the restaurant at that time. So, if you go on an MNSSHP night and do not have a ticket for the event, you would not want to make a reservation for after 7 pm. They would not let you in even if you have a reservation since you did not have a ticket for MNSSHP.

but it wont allow you to pick a time past 6:30 pm for a ressie? Just thought this was odd maybe it is just a warning to not book unless you are attending the party.

As much as I would LOVE this to be the case, I think tobikaye is right. The same message appears for BOG and CRT when you try to book a later reservation.

Could be because there is no availability. In the picture you posted, it states "No tables available around 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Sunday, October 4, 2015." That is what is posted on any reservation search if there is no availability for a particular restaurant in a 2-3 hour span of when you are checking.

Look at this example for today:

They want all non-party guests out of the park by 7PM so they won't allow you to book a reservation after that unless you have a Party ticket. According to the graphic you posted they would actually allow you to make a reservation up until 6:55 not 6:30 as you stated if the time was available. The drop down options are only in 1/2 hour increments but the times choices that get returned when you do a search may come up as 6:45, 6:55 or 6:20 for example when there are actual reservation times available.
