QUESTION - How late for dining?

[princssdisnygina]

How late can I book a dinner reservation? Meaning... if the park closes at 8pm what is the last reservation time? Say for Prime Time Cafe or CRT?
Thanks in advance!

If I booked a 7:45 dinner at Prime Time would be make it if we went to the 7pm fantasmic?

It'll be close...........Fantasmic is 25 minutes long....(assuming they start on time which by my cell clock they never do, lol). But then you have to get out with the throngs of other people and walk to the opposite end of the park.

I know it's not popular to be late to an ADR, but I would imagine that if you leave as the applause for the finale' is happening and head straight over there you won't be chastized too hard by "Mom" when you arrive.

Well, yeah, plenty of time to make an 8:30pm reservation but OP said their reservation was at 7:45.....so 7pm Fantasmic ending at 7:25 leaves only 20 minutes to get out of the crowded Fantasmic theatre and make it to the other side of the park. Not impossible, but cutting it close unless you're a push/shove through the crowd kinda person, lol. I would guess that would be a 10 minute decent pace walk without the crowds.

An 8pm ADR or later like yours would be a "sure you'll be fine"...but 7:45 is cutting it close. I wouldn't cancel the ressie if that's all that is available, but if it's open I'd personally change it to 8pm, but that's me....I hate being late to anything, lol. But if that's the only time I'd just get there when I get there and I can't see them not seating you for being a few minutes late. From what I read Prime Time isn't one of those that is good about seating you right at your time anyway.

LOL! Yes.. that is me! I called dining after getting the first response thinking the park closed at 8pm to get a ressie at 7:45 and they had later!
