MNSSHP/Epcot ADR question

[gingerfeathers]

My soon-to-be-DH and I are heading to WDW for our honeymoon in mid-September, and we'll be there for a MNSSHP night. It sounds like a TON of fun, but I have one problem:

We managed to score and ADR for Le Cellier in Epcot that night at 7:55 PM.

Obviously, the Le Cellier reservation is a pretty big deal, and chances are I will not be able to get that changed. So is it worth it for us to buy tickets to MNSSHP, and then leave for a few hours for dinner, and come back? Or should we just skip the Halloween party?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I'd skip the party.You simply will not get your moneys worth.Plus, you will be staring down your watch the entire time you are in the restaurant, and my guess is le cellier is important to you and should be savored, not rushed.

Agreed. For that amount of money, I would not leave for a few hours for a dinner reservation. The party is only 5 hours anyway. Go on a different night. They have them 3 nights a week.
