Where to eat dinner before Spectro?

Any suggestions? If I make a 5:30 reservation at Liberty Sq or Chef Mickey's will we miss Spectro? Should we just wing it that night for dinner?

are there any openings for Crystal Palace. My husband and I enjoy the atmosphere and the food is great....Prime rib and salmon are our two favorites there.

What time does Spectro run on your night? I would allow an hour (at least) for dinner.

wdwrich the parade timing is important. A lot of people are looking at the early part of next year when the parade time is often 7:00. A 5:30 at CM would make it hard to get to Spectro by 7:00. CM is a large restaurant and with the napkin parades it can take awhile for all of the characters to get around to your building. The meal doesn't take all that long. I think it took about 75 minutes our last time there. To walk over to MK and get through the gates is at least 20 minutes and you're going to enter right at the parade entrancewhich will be crowded.

LTT won't take as long a 5:30 ADR should work for a 7:00 parade. CP as another poster mentioned has a very good meal. The meal will take about as long as CM for the characters. The good news is that you can exit CP and turn right for Main Street or lef to catch the end of the parade. We usually watch Spectro at the very end and it's not crowded until right before the parade arrive which is about 20 minutes from official start.

There is nothing available except The Plaza! We got a 4:45pm. That should leave us plenty of time to see the Spectro and Wishes. Specto is 7pm that night.

Hope the food is good.

I am going to keep trying for CP or Tony's or Liberty Tavern, wish me luck!

The food at the Plaza is very good. Be sure to save room for their awesome shakes and ice cream deserts!
