Suggestions for an early(4:30) dinner before MNSSHP.Help!

[DISNEY FIX]

We currently have a reservation at the LTT for 6:25 pm the night of MNSSHP. Is that too late to see all of the the goings on , we don't want to miss anything. We are staying at the Beach Club Villas, do you have any suggestions for an earlier dinner around the resort or park?
Thanks
Chris

I would change it, the place is packed since it is one of a few ts open. So go earlier if you really want to eat there or how about a big late lunch? Maybe Whispering Canyon cafe, or the kona cafe at the poly for a change of pace?

We had a 6pm before MVMCP, we were seated finally around 6:30. The service was so slow, dd was dying to think she was missing the party (our first time) so after an hour of no drink refills we asked for the bill before dessert, we couldnt sit there untill after 8pm just for a dessert!

I'm with Budbeerlady...I'd try for Kona Cafe at the Poly. You can hop on the monorail to go over to the Poly then just hop back on after your meal. And it'd be a nice change of pace after a busy day in MK. DBF and myself ate at Kona 2 years ago on our last trip. We loved it so much, we're going back again in December for our next trip. The terriakki (spelling?) steak is awesome!

The Plaza. It's cheaper, less likely to be full, has good food, and you won't be stuffed from the all-you-can-eat and you can hit the party full speed. We ate at the Plaza before MNSSHP and MVMCP around 5pm both times, and were right in the thick of it when the party started. Never understood the stampede for LTT.

How about Beaches & Cream at The Beach Club? Or go for a counter service? We went to MNSSHP Oct 2006 and we did Crystal Palace at 5:25, since you can get into MK at 4PM, we feel we wasted 1.5 hours eating, we prefer to enjoy the park. This year for MVMCP, we are doing a late lunch at Whispering Canyon then heading to MK around 4PM and grabbing a counter service for dinner.

We ate at LTT at 5pm last year before MNSSHP. It was good, but put us getting out to the party later than we wanted. This year, we have 4:25pm ADRs at the Plaza. We love their sandwiches and ice cream. I agree with holcomb-mania that it will be a great choice!~

The party doesnt start until 7 so you have plenty of time. Our last few parties we ate at 4:45 at CP but this year we are going to try Kona

Advice, make sure you eat before the party because the few CS places open are jam packed with people

We had ressies at 4:30 at 1900 Park Fare at GF. We left MK at 4:00, took the boat to GF and took the monorail back. We were back in the park at 6:00. Great food and characters

I have an ADR at CP for 4 pm the night of our MNSSHP. We have done that the past two years. We love it!

We have an ADR at Chef Mickey's at 5:00pm (as soon as they open). We intend to be there early to make sure we are the first ones seated.

change that ressie....LTT is my favorite, but you are going to miss too much of the MNSSHP which you are already paying extra for.
We had a big late lunch and just grabbed snacks that night and CS for dinner.

Thank you all! We have a 4pm at the plaza to keep it simple.
Thanks
