    If I make a dining reservation 15 minutes before the park closes, do I have to go out in time for closing, or can I stay at the dining after closing? And if that is allowed, are all dinings available or are some places restricted?

    Welcome to planDisney, Stephanie! Thank you for stopping by to bring us your question. 

    I’m so excited you’re planning to end your Disney day with an enchanted meal at one of the magical restaurants inside the parks. The options are plentiful and all delightful. It will be like the Cinderella Castle Kiss Goodnight for your day! So, allow me to invite you to relax and pull up a chair as the panelist (that’s me!) proudly presents… your dinner plans! 

    Stephanie, once you lock in your reservation, preferably 60 days in advance so you can snag that must-do spot, if the time available happens to be just before the park closes, you’re absolutely allowed to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed out the door like Cinderella at midnight. Cast Members will ensure you have time to savor every last bite, even after the official closing time. And BONUS, you’ll get to enjoy strolling through a quieter park once the crowds have gone—it’s almost like having a private After Hours moment!

    Most table-service restaurants that accept late reservations will honor them, but some locations may have earlier cutoffs. Signature dining spots and popular table-service restaurants, like Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom or Le Cellier Steakhouse in EPCOT, are great choices if you’re hoping to enjoy a meal after park closing.

    So be our guest and book that late-night dining experience! It’s a fantastic way to soak in the atmosphere and end your Disney day on a delicious note! And if you happen to stroll out under the glow of Cinderella Castle or the shimmering lights of World Showcase, be sure to take a deep breath and enjoy the moment. 

    Wishing you pixie-dusted dinner dreams and tasty plans coming true. And please don’t hesitate to come back and see us if you have more questions! 

    Bon appetit! ~Emille
