Dining during Mickey's VM Christmas Party

[pennyplanner]

Are all the restaurants open during a special event like Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party? How does that work? Once you buy your ticket, do you just make a PS, for say, Cindy's?

Since tickets go on sale in May, when are PSs accepted?

Thanks to all you WDW planning gurus out there!

Only LTT will allow booking the PS when you purchase tickets...all other restaurants must be booked at 90 days.

Tony's, the Castle, and Crystal Palace all take PS till 6:00p and LTT takes them till about 9:00p.

We've always done LTT right before the party and it has worked out great. I love it there!

If you are thinking of eating in one of these places _during_ MVMCP, I'd suggest you re-think. Instead of eating during the 7-12 pm period of MVMCP, you can take in a lot of the park with minimal waits. There are lots of stage shows, the parade runs twice and of course there are fireworks.

OTOH, if you are looking for a place to eat between park closing and the start of MVMCP, then LTT is a great suggestion. Make your reservation for around 5:00.

OKW Lover,

Okay so you are suggesting that you eat before with a 5 p.m. PS at any of the MK restaurants and be ready for the fun to begin at 7 p.m. Yes?

I agree that I wouldn't want to waste any time during the festivities seating down to a meal.

Thanks,

I booked a PS for Liberty Tree Tavern (LTT) just after I bought our MVMCP tix. We were very happy with our meal there. The food and service was great, and the character interaction was incredible!

We ate at LTT for the MVMCP this year. We loved it. Although even with a PS we waited for an hour to eat.

A tip...we arrived to the park at 3:45pm to just go to the park and then would get our bracelets for the party right beforehand. When I went to pick up our tickets for the party the CM told me that they were letting people in at 4:45pm so not to waste a day of park hopping if I could hang out a little while. We hadn't went anywhere else that day so we waited and saved a day on our hopper pass that we can use this year.
