Hi Laurie, thanks for bringing your question here to planDisney.
I'm pleased to let you know that all Park Gates should be available for entrance, so you can hopefully experience an efficient admission to
Magic Kingdom Park. Cast Members are experts at welcoming Guests to the Parks quickly and warmly. I suggest you are ready to fly through security as time is of the essence. In my experience,
security checks are where Guests can get caught if they have left something in their bag that warrants a further check.
While some grace period may be allowed, you are more likely to be able to make a reservation at
Tony's Town Square Restaurant versus
Be Our Guest Restaurant due to its closer proximity to the entrance. If you are still concerned about making your reservation, you can always try and
modify your dining time. This way, you may meander rather than sprint down Main Street U.S.A. and take in the magical ambience to build your appetite.
Disney After Hours at Magic Kingdom Park is such a special event, and I hope you enjoy the best time. I will be right here at planDisney if I can help with anything else before you visit the Most Magical Place on Earth. Louise
