How to make ADR for MNSSHP?

[ktmo]

How do you make your ADR for MNSSHP if the 180 days is before the dates of the parties are going to be released? We are going from Oct 20-24 and would love to plan an early dinner at MK (either CRT or CP) and then go to the party. But if I don't know which nights are the party, I won't know which nights to book the dinner. Should I just try to predict it and book the night I think it will be based on the MK hours? Should I make multiple reservations and then cancel the one that is on the wrong night (is that considered wrong/rude)? I know that predicting the nights of the MNSSHP can be difficult. Or should I just not try to do a TS dinner?

I am sure someone here will correct me if I am wrong... We are going in September and the September hours are out. You can usually tell by the MK hours what nights will be MNSSHP. I believe this year it will be Tuesdays and Fridays.

If the party dates haven't been announced you can usually tell by the park hours. In October, if the MK is scheduled to close at 7 and there's no Wishes or MSEP listed, it's pretty safe to say it'll be a party night.

Thanks, that helps a lot. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the October calendar.

I'm planning based on when MK closes at 7 in Sept. But many people have said they changed the days last year when the MNSSHP hours were officially released which messed up a lot of plans.

Oh, I hope they don't change the MNSSHP dates and then change the September hours! LOL I just spent a lot of time working out my park days : )

I was wondering same thing. Wanted to have DD fo BBB (to get dressed) and CRT for dinner before the MNSSHP. I know both fill up fast so don't want to wait. I looked on the WDW site and it said look for dates to be released this summer. Do they really wait until the summer to release?

This is what I was thinking about doing. I hope it works out.
