On our MNSSHP night we had a early dinner at LTT The hostesses and characters were dressed for Halloween and it really helps you get in the MNSSHP mood! The food is served family style and is Thanksgiving type fare. You will hear different opinions on this but my family loved it! Check out the menu and if it appeals to you I would try for an adr asap because they go fast. You can make adrs as soon as you buy your MNSSHP tickets.
We did not go to MNSSHP on Halloween night but the night we did go, we ate at Crystal Palace, our ressie was for 5;25 PM, but I didnt like eating while we could have been enjoying park time. When we go in Dec and MVMCP we are doing a Counter Service for dinner in the park. But with that is mind we LOVED Crystal Palace, we were one of the last groups eating and we had TONS of character interaction, we were done by the time the party officially kicked off at 7PM!!
