Dining in MK on a day with MNSSHP?

[kandb]

We plan on going to MK in mid august on a day that MNSSHP is going to be (a Tuesday). We will want to eat at LTT that night for dinner. We are NOT going to the party. What is the latest time we can make a dinner reservation? We don't want to eat dinner too early and obviously as soon as dinner is over, we will leave immediately. We haven't been in years, so not sure what the policy is now!

Are the dates for MNSSHP already announced ?

To book dining on a party night there is regular dining and there is a special link just for party dining. I do not believe LTT is part of the party dining so when your date opens you will see the hours for that day, and they will be shorter than normal. I believe you can usually book up until 6:55 pm. You might be escorted to the front gate after you finish dining if you book an ADR close to park closing.

No but they usually follow the previous year as far as weeks/days of the week, so easy to figure out.

OK, great. We would look to get a reservation by 6 anyway. Thank you!

Last year, we were able to get ADRS at Skippers at 6:45 when the park closed at 6 and the party started at 7 and we were not going to the party. Leaving, you will NOT be able to go into any of the stores. We had planned to do some shopping on our way out, but could not get into a store without a party band. However, by then the transportation was not crowded at all.

Good to know! We will be at Disney September 6-10 and hope the Halloween party is offered sometime between the 7th-10(arrival day would be difficult with our party of 9-lol.) We missed out last year as the day we were to attend was the day hurricane Ian came to visit and there was no availability to re-schedule

I wonder if it’s harder to get a dinner reservation on a party night.

We are considering a CRT dinner ressie on a MNSSHP night (not attending the party). Probably a Tuesday in mid September.

What do you all think?

Just by nature that you will only have access to a couple hours of reservations AND folks who go to MK but not party will likely all be aiming for the latest time allowed so to use the least amount of park time .... I imagine it might be more difficult than normal.
