I know you posted this same info on another thread or earlier in this thread, but customer services is a call center and unfortunately they often give incorrect information. It was true that until last year a 6:40 reservation without party tickets would have been allowed, but so far all the printed info for this year has indicated that this is no longer the case. It is printed in more than one place on the reservations pages for several restaurants. Maybe it will change, but whatever is the printed policy on the night of your dinner is what the castmembers at CRT will follow, rather than what someone said.i was told today by customer services that as long as i was in park earlier i could do my cinderella diner at 6.40 and be escorted out of the park afte which i hope is true as i also booked pirates and pals cruise on this advice
I bet the IT linking for that is an even huger cluster. ADRs aren't linked to park tickets now, after all.I think they should require you to purchase the tickets before they allow you to make the dining reservation. I can see this turning into a huge cluster.
i can see your point and thats why i rang i am going to email to see if they say same and at least then i will have some sort of written confirmation, when i did ring she asked for my confirmation number and checked she came back and said i was ok as long as i was already in the parkI know you posted this same info on another thread or earlier in this thread, but customer services is a call center and unfortunately they often give incorrect information.

when i booked cinderella this morning it did not say this at any point, only when i went to email confirmation did it have attraction ticket needed, going to email them
I doubt BOG is running one policy and CRT another. Highly doubt.

Reservations for CRT, starting @ 6pm, gives the same disclaimer. It's been added to the 1st post too.
If in park after 7pm, guests should have a party ticket. As OP have stated Phone CMs are not always reliable & the last ones to know things. This is 1st time to my recollection that Disney has put this in writing, no less, included with reservation before guests get confirmation.
OP - I do not believe rep gave you written confirmation, wasn't stated in your post.
So I'm done with my 2 cents. Just remember that it's the in writing on official website, prior to confirmation, just like 1D/5D cancellation policies & like will charge $10/Full price for no shows.
I was told during a recent travel show this year that bands can't be reused on future trips. The batteries in the bands wouldn't last that long
Did you try to grab a spot on Main Street? It seems Main Street is always pretty crazy!We've did MNSSHP before, and trying to stake out our parade spot is a fight. We had so many people last year try to take ours from us even though we'd been standing there forever. I've never done a dessert party before, but jumped at this as the parade viewing spot itself sounds worth it!!!
Wondering if anyone has the same take on the MNSSHP as I do - If I am spending this amount of money, I am making the most of less crowds on the rides, trick/treating, character photos. I just don't see the purpose in taking extra time to have a sit down dinner or go to the dessert party (extra money as well!). We will enjoy the fireworks and the 2nd parade but rarely do we stake out a seat for more than a few minutes prior to either of these when we are in the parks. I don't know - I suppose if you have already been to MK on another day (or plan to) then getting on the rides or seeing the characters is not a priority. This will be our only park visit for the year (dvc owner - we are all about enjoying the resort right now) so we plan to make the mot of our time there.
Yes, I can totally understand your take on it. If your time in MK is limited, then rides with low waits would be a big draw. We are the opposite. We have a long trip with many MK days so we won't ride any rides that night except Haunted Mansion because of it being decked out for the party etc. We focus on just the party only activities, rare character meets, boo to you parade, Hallowishes, Hocus Pocus show, and then Trick or treating. This will be our third party, so we thought the dessert party would be something new and fun.Wondering if anyone has the same take on the MNSSHP as I do - If I am spending this amount of money, I am making the most of less crowds on the rides, trick/treating, character photos.

Yes, we did Main Street last year for the 1st time. It was gorgeous with the lights and music on Main Street, but staking out our spot was crazy. And hard to stand there that long. That's a big reason we're doing the party. I think it will actually save is time. Last year we did a lot at a very full party (shopped for party merchandise, saw Jack & Sally, Minnie, Daisy, Lotso, Dance Party with Sulley and Mike, then trick or treated) and that was from 4pm to 7pm! Then we headed to Main Street and was there in one general place from 7 to basically fireworks. I think the dessert party will add an extra hour, that 7-8pm that we can do something else before going to the reserved parade area! And no stress with all those people!Did you try to grab a spot on Main Street? It seems Main Street is always pretty crazy!
How was the view of Wishes? Was the area crowded?We did the desert party last year and had a great time! We went to the flagpole at 8:15 and there was alot of curb space for guests. They came around handing out bottled water to us while we waited for the parade to start which was nice. The parade viewing was wonderful and not having to stake out a spot prior was well worth the price. After the parade we walked as a group over to the desert area. The tables were beautifully decorated and it was a quick walk through the line getting whatever treats you want. There was plenty to choose from. We had a front table because we purchased early and had a great view of the fireworks. For us it was money well spent and we really did enjoy it alot!
