Dinner during MNSSHP- not going to party

[ABelle08]

Does anyone know if I will be able to book a dinner reservation on a night with a Halloween party, if I don't have a ticket for the party? I know you can still in MK until 6, so was thinking a 4:30 or 5 ADR. There are no dining reservations available on any night with a party, so was wondering if these will open up eventually? If so, do you have to have a ticket in order to secure one?

As you know, they haven't loaded any of the MK restaurants into the system, so we won't know until they do.

Last year, restaurants that were NOT open during the party took ADRs right up to park close. Restaurants that were open each had a cut-off for guests without tickets, but since they're not loaded, we don't know what that time will be.

Do we think they will be available eventually? I was going on the assumption that Disney had decided not to offer dinner in the MK on MNSSHP nights. It would be awesome if my assumption is wrong and they just haven’t loaded dinner yet on those nights!

They're just not loaded. Keep an eye on the DIS and keep checking every morning. At some point, they will show up. IF you're looking at going during the party, you'll have to book through the special party page and you will need a ticket to the party to eat during the party.

We would like to go on the same night we’re planning on for MNSSHP. Last year we had a 4:30 reservation at BOG and it was just about perfect timing. We had time to do 1 or 2 rides before the party began. I’ll keep my eye on things. Thanks for letting me know!! I’m feeling much more optimistic now.

Someone posted a new thread this morning that BoG now has reservations up to 6:10 on party nights. Go check!!!

We had an early BOG reservation on a party night (4:30 or 4:50 or so). I ended up cancelling it before our trip because we changed our plans. But I was able to make it and hold on to it even after they released the reservations during the party. I think you'll be able to do this.

You can book one via the normal booking without tickets for early meals.

With 4:30-5 you should be fine.

Looks like Be Our Guest opened today, no sure if any others have opened yet.

As others have mentioned, you can book ADRs before the park closes for the party. If the park closes at 6, 5 most likely will be the lastest you can book an ADR. You will not be allowed to book anything after the park is closed or close to that time.

You will be fine with a 4:30 or 5:00 ADR. Before yesterday, all the MK TS only had ADR options up to 2:30 on party nights. Yesterday, BOG and LTT both opened up for ADRs up until 6:00, so presumably that is the latest you can have an ADR on a party night.

Last year, there was a separate link for ADRs on party nights for people with party tickets and that took you to an ADR booking page that had ADRs up to and past party start time with the disclaimer that you had to have a party ticket to dine at those times. That has not been opened up yet and as of right now CRT, CP, Skippers' Canteen and Plaza are all still showing 2:30 as the latest ADR. I would guess we should see those open up soon.

They opened up BOG and Tony's but none of the others yet. They aren't available after park close so I don't know if the will be. I got BOG at 5PM I'm hoping they open up CRT because we haven't done that yet.
