MNSSHP dining

[THESCHULTZFIVE]

Are all the restaurants open during MNSSHP or just LTT and Tony's. We want to eat during the party, but the LTT menu dosen't look all that great to me. What are my options? We're planning on eating about 7:15. TIA

We ate at Pecos Bills when we went in October - I think most of the quick service are good but I didn't pay a lot of attention.

I'm going to make an early PS at Chef Mickey's for the night we go to MNSSHP. I don't like LTT, so I'd rather hop on the monorail and eat early and still get a night o' characters.

We are going to eat a early counter service meal for dinner that night. We want to be able to just enjoy the MNSSHP and not have to mess with eating while its going on..

We ate at Cosmic Rays one night and Crystal Palace the other night. I would suggest eating before the festivities begin.

Only Tony's and LTT were open after 6:00p last year. Crystal Palace, the Castle and the Plaza all close at 6:00p.

We ate at Cosmic Rays too last year. Originally we were supposed to eat at LTT, then we changed our minds (did cancel the ADR during the week) and decided to eat at CR's. We got there at 5:50 p.m. You need to be there by 6:00 p.m. We are definitely going to eat at CR's again. It works great because once the party starts, you are right between TL and FL.

Ok so since we're doing the dining plan, if we're going to do a counter service that night during MNSSHP, and a counter service lunch that day since we'll be at Animal Kingdom, does that mean that the day before we should do a table service for lunch and dinner to balance it out? Man, this is all seems more confusing than it has to be.

Yes, or else eat @ a rest. that requires 2 TS credits. Perhaps a charactar breakfast (we luv Chef Mickey's) or Crystal Pal.?

Don't forget you can use up whatever left over credits you have the last day you check out.

If you are going to do two table service in one day, and plan to do them at a park, then I must offer up the suggestion of visiting Epcot on that day. I think you will get the most bang for you buck. So many good restaurants, and several are on the dining plan.

I agree, CR is the perfect place. Location, location, location. You step outside, they are passing out candy practically right outside the door, its near a ton of attractions. There was a cute little band playing there when we were eating too. Lots of fun.

You could also do a ts for lunch and then have a light cs for dinner before MNSSHP starts..

We did LTT for MVMCP last year. We had a 5:55 reservation and were out by 7:00, just in time for the party to start. We like not having to be herded into Tomorrowland with the rest of the crowd and enjoy a dinner with characters. We'll be doing that again this year for MNSSHP.

We will be dining at Chef Mickey the afternoon we attend the party. I am not sure exactly what time as my window for booking has not opened yet. I do not want to spend any of our time during the actual party eating so I am hoping for maybe a 4pm reservation or something.

 

[byoung]

Wew go to CP about 5 pm .

We did the first sitting at 1900 Park Fare. I'm not a fan of Liberty Tree Tavern. We got to the park at 6:30 there wasn't any wait to enter.

In December of 04 (MVMCP) we ate at Artist Point. Again no wait to enter.

If you don't want to eat in the park. The resorts on the monorail all offer great dining.

 

[musicwoman]

In addition, (I just booked my ADR's and the person on the other end said that they were only taking reservations until 5pm at Liberty Tree Tavern. I don't know if the other restuarants in MK will be like that or not on a night where MNSSHP is happening.

 

[keishashadow]

At MVMCP last Dec. when we entered park we noticed one long line. CM told that it was a separate line @ gate for guests that were just going to use the tix to get into the MK. I was told that they would start letting that group in sometime around 4:00 p.m. Know that they could then enjoy all the park until the start to clear it out for the event & all were directed to whatever section stayed open until the festivities began.

The ADR's during the event won't be available until the tix are...we booked ours when we bought the tix. Don't know if you can book w/o the tix in hand/booked - anyone remember?

 

[rkandmjsmommy]

We plan to eat at a counter service, does anyone know if they are open between 6PM and 7PM when they are getting the park ready? Or shoule we try to eat around 5:30?

thanks

I agree.....location is everything!!!
