How late/early to eat before MNSSHP?

[tinksmygal]

We were planning on eating at Ohanas, made ressi for 5:10. MNSSHP is supposed to start at 7:00. We've never eaten here and DH wanted to go there for his BD, but now I'm getting nervous that we won't get done in plenty of time.
Any thoughts and whether this would work for us or not.

I think you'll be done by around 6:30p at the latest. I think that's plenty of time to hop on over to MK.

Most everything else is probably booked up anyway so your only other option would be counter service if you cancel now.

Have fun!

You should be fine. If I remember correctly, we were done at O'hana in about an hour. We have an ADR for Kona this year before MNSSHP at 5:30.

We also have a ressie at Ohana at 5:00 pm. On Sept. 15th... I figure it will be plenty of time!

We are doing Chef Mickeys about 5:20 or so....I figure one hour is good and the head to the park

Thanks for the input everyone!

Sounds good, we have ADR for 5.15 on 15th Sept at LTT, but I expect to have a wait to eat.

Were eating the earliest dinner adr, 3:30pm, i could get at Crystal Palace in MK so we can hit the rides as the day goer's are leaving (EMH morning, so hopefully the little ones will be cranky and hot and tired and ready to leave by the time were done eating). I hear the parks are quite empty from the hours of 4-7 prior to a MNSSHP night.

OK, got nervous and switched our res at 'Ohana to the next night. Just gonna celebrate his B-D a day late, but he's fine with that.

The kids are going to the Neverland Club and DH and I can celebrate like real grown ups!

We'll just do CS before MNSSHP, and maybe hit a couple of rides before the party starts.

I guess I was a lucky one when I got a LTT Character Dining Ressie for 5:20pm on the night of our halloween party- 9/22, what a great way to start our night of fun!!!!!!!

By luck of the lottery we are eating at Cindy's at 4:15. I have through about cancelling it a few times and trying to get Ohana or 1900 Park Fare and neither is opening up for me on 09/29

Remember, you can get into the park by 4:00 for the party....I'd try to maximize park time (no lines!!!)
