MK Dining before Mickeys party

[OHIOVACATIONER]

I am so excited I just booked Mickeys Christmas Party in November. Recommendations please on where to make dining around 6:00 in the MK before the party starts. Just 2 adults so doesn't have to be character dining and nothing fancy. Thanks

We love eating a late lunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Wilderness Lodge. AYCE skillet fills us up for the night, and it's a pretty boat ride to MK afterwards. We've done this in the past, and this is our plan for this year's MNSSHP.

I would have dinner a little earlier and not as close to the party. We have done either BOG or Tony’s around 4:30. In the past depending they have started letting people in around 4 pm and started selling party merchandise and if you are already in the park that day there are spots to get your wristband.

I agree with the others - I would eat earlier. If it has to be in MK, I would eat around 4:00 - 5:00 pm when party guests first enter and it becomes a bit crowded. Or consider eating a really late lunch at an MK resort. If you want to eat in MK, we like Skippers and Liberty Tree/Diamond Horseshoe (they have the same menu).

Earlier for sure. I remember we had 5:50 reservations at Be our Guest during a MNSSHP night, and we had the slowest service ever. We didn't leave there until 7:30, already chewing up into party time. Normally we're never there for more than an hour.
For places to eat, Liberty Tree Tavern is one of our favorites.
