Hey, hey Maria, and welcome to planDisney. November in the "place where dreams come true" is at the beginning of the winter holiday season. Holiday trees are rising in the theme parks and hotels and Disney pastry artisans are busy designing and building their magnificent gingerbread houses. Also, is the time when Disney Food and Beverage introduce their Thanksgiving and winter holiday treats.
Theme Park restaurant
dining reservations require a
theme park ticket and currently, a
theme park reservation. Without both of those, you will not be able to attend your reservation. As you recognized it would be best to eat at your desired Magic Kingdom Park restaurant on a day you will be inside the theme park.
planDisney Pro Tip: Instead of Magic Kingdom Park, try for a dining reservation at
Narcoossee's at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or the
California Grill atop
Disney's Contemporary Resort. Both have amazing views of the
fireworks that light up Magic Kingdom Park at night.
Maria, your trip is six weeks away and I know Mickey and the rest of the Fab Five are ready to share the fun. Please feel free to
write me back directly with any follow-up questions.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
