    I booked dining for the very merry Mickey Christmas party for December at the Crystal Palace, but a friend told me that I would have to separately buy tickets for the actual party, since reservation was after 7:30. Wouldn’t my dining plan cover this?

    Hi Gail!

    It sounds like you have a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation planned for the holiday season! I love to enjoy the theme parks, Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs during the holidays because of all of the beautiful decorations and the special holiday treats that I available to enjoy.

    When you are enjoying dining at a restaurant in a Walt Disney World Resort theme park, you need valid theme park admission in order to enjoy your dining experience. Unfortunately, neither your dining reservation nor your dining plan include theme park admission. On select evenings in November and December, Magic Kingdom will close at 6:00 p.m. to accommodate Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which will begin at 7:00 p.m. In order to enjoy the theme park's attractions, entertainment and restaurants once the party begins, Guests need to have a ticket to that evening's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. So you will need a ticket to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party to enjoy your dining reservation at The Crystal Palace at 7:30 p.m., but you will be able to use dining plan table service entitlements to cover the cost of your meals.

    With the purchase of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party tickets, you will get access to a night of holiday fun at Magic Kingdom. There are exclusive Character Experiences throughout the theme park, exclusive holiday entertainment throughout the night, and complimentary cookies and hot cocoa. Plus, it even snows on Main Street, U.S.A.! So I recommend that you consider adding Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party into your vacation itinerary, as well as your dining reservation!

    Let us know if you have additional questions as you continue planning your trip. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
