Help? No ADRs in MK after 6:00 pm in June?

[beagee]

Our trip is May 27 through June 4. Was happily making all of my ADRs at 5:00 am central on Monday morning. (I've never been able to do this before and it was so fun. ) Anyway, I ran into a problem with the June days in our trip. For every restaurant in MK on June 1, 2, 3 and 4, the latest that you can make a dinner rez is at 6:00 pm. This issue is only in MK and just for the dates in June. What's up with that?

I called Disney, waited on hold for 30 minutes, and for the first time ever, I spoke with an unhelpful cast member who said (essentially): "Well, each restaurant sets its own hours, so I guess they're just closing early on those nights." (All of them??? Every night in June??)

I've been thinking that this was a strange computer glitch thing that will correct itself. And I've been checking each day this week but so far no change. One of those nights is my youngest's birthday so it's really important to me that I get this right. I would hate to learn that the park is actually closing early that night for some ticketed event.

Any advice?

I'm so sorry if this has been discussed before. I tried searching but didn't find anything.

Those dates are part of Gay Days at Disney. There is a possibility that the restaurants are rented out for those nights...or possibly the entire park. No real way to know right now.

I vote for glitch in the system. It's very doubtful every MK restaurant is closing at 6:00pm for 4 nights in June. And the WDW website is showing the MK open until 9:00pm each of those nights, and I'd expect those hours to get extended.

Historically, the group organizing Gay Days has not rented out an entire park or, to my knowledge, an entire restaurant at WDW. They have a schedule for the "park of the day" but participants attend like any other WDW guest since it isn't an event sponsored by Disney. All the TS restaurants in the MK closed at 6:00pm for 4 days makes no sense and that wouldn't happen even if an outside group rented out a restaurant for the night.
