If we have dinner in the castle at 8:25pm can we make it out for Wishes at 10pm?

We have dinner in the castle scheduled for 8:25pm but I would like to be outside to view wishes because of Tinker Bell's flight and all the projections on the castle during holiday wishes. Can we make it out by 9:45pm? If not how are the views from the castle?

1) I doubt it.
2) At that hour, ressies are usually 20-40 minutes running late, so you get in late.
3) Then, you have to
. . . get drinks
. . . order
. . . get food and eat
. . . get the check and pay
4) Unfortunately, there are no views of Wishes from inside the Castle.

I seem to remember seeing a couple of posts with folks who were able to see wishes from the windows in the castle and said it was neat. If anyone has any experience with this please share.

There's always a chance you might get out early if everything from service-to-how fast you eat is timed just right. CRT will let you check in 15 min early so take advantage of that extra time.

As far as the fireworks from the castle; it would be a very limited viewing area through stained glass windows facing the north side. It wasn't much of a view in my opinion. Wishes is worth seeing outside the castle.

If you plan to see Wishes outside; they will close the hallway entry doors to the castle early (for safety). So depending on what time you finish before Wishes starts, you may have to walk around the castle via the closest pathway to Sleepy Hollow/Liberty Square.

Sorry, I wouldn't count on it.

We just had dinner in the castle last Saturday. Our ressie was at 8:20, we checked in on time, but by the time our family was done with the pictures with cinderella and waiting about 30 minutes past our ressie time. We didn't get seated til' a little before 9. The food came out pretty quickly, and the princesses did as well. But we didn't get out of there until at least 10-10:15. That being said, there was a very limited view of wishes through the stained glass windows! They dimmed the lights and played the music which was pretty cool!! It was such a cool experience eating in the castle!! By far one of the highlights of our trip!! I hope you get a chance to eat there and see wishes!! Good Luck!!

Thanks guys. Wishes is my favorite so I will have to work something out. This is a short trip so not really another day to make it up.
