Warning about event during reservation process

[debvee]

I'm starting to make dining reservations for our first trip to WDW Nov 13-18 2011. When I tried to reserve 7:30 Tony's Town Hall on Sun 11/13/11 there is a warning saying that the reservation occurs during a special event which requires an additional ticket.
Does anyone have an idea what this might be?

Sounds like Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party to me. But, I haven't checked the dates yet, so I could be wrong - that seems early. It's too far after halloween to be the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Thanks - I did look it up and you are right - it's the Christmas Party. Does this mean the park is closed after 7pm except to those with tickets to the party?

MK will close at 7 PM to all guests not having a party ticket. Can you make your Tony's reservation a little earlier?

You can have an ADR for any time up to, but not including, 7 PM without a ticket. Once you're done eating, you will be escorted that short walk to the exit of the park.

It is true that a CM will escort you to the exit, but they will not rush you out of the restaurant until your done with your meal. Also be aware that any souvenirs or treats you wish to leave with will need to be purchased prior to your dinner. They will not allow any shopping to be done once 7pm rolls around unless you have a party ticket.

I wanted to make a reservation at Tony's in October on a MNSSHP night and I was able to book for 6:50pm. I'd try just a bit earlier. I wanted to maximize our time in the park since it was our last night.

That's nothing but good planning!
