Which Dinner for MNSSHP night?

[labdogs42]

I can get a 3:20 at Crystal Palace or a 7:20 at Tony's Town Square for the night we are attending the party. What are your thoughts on these dining times/locations? I have only done one party before, so I'm not 100% sure what I want to do as far as dining that night. I'd like to hear some pros and cons of these options, please! I'm sure there's something I haven't thought of!

The earliest one.

HOWEVER, if you don't ALSO use a regular park ticket to enter MK that day, you won't be allowed to enter MK prior to about 4PM (3:45, maybe...maybe) so you can't get to a 3:20PM ADR.

And, I would not be sitting in an expensive, time-consuming restaurant during an expensive time-limited hard-ticket party.

I wouldn't not spend the money on an event, then spend an hour during that event sitting at a restaurant I can eat any time. I think you are better served eating before the party starts, regardless of where it is.

Without a doubt the 3:20 at CP. Do not waste precious party time at a sit down restaurant!

I'd do an earlier ADR at a resort restaurant, save your park ticket and then eat a qs around 5:30 in the park.

- If you are planning to be in the park all day then do the CP at 3:20.
- If you are burning a ticket to enter just to eat prior to entering on Party Ticket which is 4:00 then I would book a MK resort restaurant.
- No way I would use up 1 minute of Party time if I had bought the ticket. The night will go by very fast.

- Another thought, when we have gone to a party after a rest/pool day we like to book a big breakfast, BOMA or Character. Chill by the pool a few hours with full bellies. Then get ready for party and head in at 4 pm. We then eat a Counter Service around 6 so all we need the rest of the night is snacks and candy!

Ooh, good plan.

Our party will be the day after we arrive. So, I know we'll be dying to get to the parks, but hopefully we can pace ourselves!
