Latest dinner reservation during party event but NOT doing party?

[disneyfan2]

My plan is to pass on the MVMCP, and wondered if i could still make late reservation for dinner even though not staying for the party. I would like to do a late dinner ie 6pm or so for castle but want to make sure there is not a cut off(ie 5pm unless you have party tickets) Can anyone confirm what the latest resevation time is. I have no intention of staying in the park after dinner, just want to enjoy the park until 6pm then have dinner and leave.

I believe you have to be out by 7pm so theyll probably stop taking reservations at 4 maybe 5...???
