What time to book cafe Mickey after the dreams fireworks?

[Mum2SnowWhite]

The park closes at 19:00 and the schedule says the fireworks show is at park closing. Would 19:15 be ok to book cafe Mickey or should we do 19:30?

Dreams will not finish until 19:20, then you have to get out of the park and depending where you watch Dreams from that could take a while. Plus then you have to walk to the end of the village so even 19:30 would be very tight. I would probably go with 19:45.

I second this, and to be safe I would even go with 20:00.
I would rather wait for 5-10 minutes outside than losing my table.

We booked for 7:45 PM when the park closed at 7PM last month. That gave us plenty of time to see Dreams! and then walk out of the park and up through the Village to Cafe Mickey without having to rush.

It depends on where you watch Disney Dreams and how crowded the park is though.
If you watch it from Town Square, you're out of the park within 2 minutes.
If you're watching it from Central Plaza, and it's crowded, it can easily take up around half an hour to even get out of the park.

We were right in front of the Castle and used Liberty Arcade to avoid the crowds and got to Cafe Mickey with plenty of time to spare.
