    If you have a dining reservation for Crystal Palace right before the park closes on a MNSSHP night but don’t have an event ticket, can you stay in restaurant as long as you would if no party night? I want to be sure we can interact with Winnie and PALs.

    Welcome back to planDisney, Evan!

    There's nothing more magical than a visit to Walt Disney World capped off with a delicious character meal. Great plan!

    Evan, you'll be happy to hear that as long as guests are seated at their dining reservation prior to park closure, they'll be able to enjoy their full meal--and those character visits--just like always. For your visit to The Crystal Palace, that means you'll get to sample that outstanding buffet dinner while capturing some perfect pics with Winnie the Pooh & Pals. It's one of my family's favorites--what a wonderful way to end the day!

    Because Magic Kingdom Park will be closed to regular park guests once you have finished your meal, Cast Members will help guide you to the park exit. Be sure to check out guest costumes as you leave, too. There will be some absolutely outstanding attire entering the park as well, so be on the lookout for fan favs. People watching near Magic Kingdom on Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights is next-level fun--everyone is so creative!

    Evan, as you plan your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth, be sure to send additional questions our way. We love to help!
