Welcome to planDisney John!
Even though you do not plan to stay for
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, you will still have a full day of rides, attractions, and fun to enjoy before the Magic Kingdom closes for its "spook-tacular" party!
Ending your day at the Magic Kingdom with dinner at
Tony's Town Square Restaurant is a great idea! This is one of my favorite restaurants with its delicious pasta dishes. On party nights, the Magic Kingdom will close to non-party guests at 6:00 p.m. so I would keep the 5:40 p.m.
dining reservation and cancel the later time. Following your dinner, you will need to exit the park since you are not purchasing a ticket.
So what to do after leaving the Magic Kingdom? If you have a
Park Hopper ticket, feel free to head to another theme park for an evening of pixie dust! Another option is to head to
Disney Springs for some shopping and maybe even catch a movie. This will also be the perfect night to head back to your resort and relax! Hop in the pool, stroll the grounds, or grab dessert and just soak in the Disney magic all around.
I hope you have an amazing visit to Walt Disney World. Mickey, Minnie, and all their pals look forward to seeing you real soon!
