We went in October and booked a 5.40pm table to eat at the Plaza before the MNSSHP. We did the same in 2007 at the (then character) Liberty Tree Tavern meal. What we didn't realise when we booked the Plaza was that unlike LTT and CRT (not sure about cp) the Plaza wasn't open during the MNSSHP. We were seated at 6.10pm by which time the restaurant had actually 'closed'. Although we were served they were very slow and seemed to be all in the kitchens presumably tidying up and counting tips etc. While I'm sure this isn't the CMs fault it wasn't ours either. We made our booking in good faith and then were billed with our starter and basically didn't see the waiting staff in the entire restaurant afterwards. We were seated next to five other parties who were all having the same problem.
Wouldn't do it again. We don't want to eat during the party at TS as it wastes time so next year we plan to eat at a monorail resort and get to the party for approx 6.30pm or 7pm.
