We are wanting to make dining reservations in MK on a MNSSHP night, but nothing is available when I looked online or called. How late into the evening can you make dinner reservations?
Should I keep looking or is this not an option on party nights?
 
The latest that you can make an ADR is 6:55 PM. After that you must have a party ticket. I think I read that so far, no one has seen any ADR'savailable after 6 PM in the MK, but I could be mistaken.
 
If you go to the reservation page for the restaurant you want to book and put in the date it will show the hours for each meal service. For example on a party night BOG shows reservations until 6:15 are available without party tickets. Then there is a second Dinner schedule beginning at 6:20 with the note underneath "Special Ticketed Event" so you would need party tickets for any reservation begiining from that time. The information about needing party tickets is repeated when you continue with the reservation process. The cut off time for the restaurants I checked (CRT, BOG, CP) varied.

The earlier cut off time for non-ticketed reservations is a change from previous years when you could make dining reservations up to 6:55 PM.
 

Haha.....I've been walked out during MNSSHP after a BOG ADR! I got to see the parade as we were walking! Lol

That's new!

1) They are beginning to back off the ressies from 6:55pm.
2) Far too many people were getting 6:55 ADR's so they can walk out and see a good part of the party.
3) This is unfair to those paying Big Bucks for the hard tickets.
4) So, they are trying to halt ADR's early enough to finish or almost finish the meal prior to the 7:00pm party start-time.
5) To me, it seems PERFECTLY LOGICAL AND RIGHTOUS.
