    I have dining reservation for 8:30pm at Crystal Palace but Magic Kingdom park closes at 9:00pm. How long can we stay for dinner after park closes? Or do we have to finish our buffet meal by park closing at 9pm?

    Hi YengYeng! I LOVE the part of planning a Walt Disney World vacation when we start looking at available Walt Disney World dining experiences! 

    You will not be rushed through your meal at The Crystal Palace. Even though The Magic Kingdom may have officially closed, you will find guests are permitted to enjoy their meal, wrap up shopping, and maybe even grab a quick snack on your way out.

    Take your time, enjoy the characters, and know that they won't be clearing your plates before you've had a chance to enjoy that last bite.

    Since you'll be in the park after closing, take advantage of the opportunity to snap a few picture with minimal crowd distraction. Some of my favorite pictures have been taken after hours, when it feels like you're the only one in the park.

    Wishing you and your family many magical moments during your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation
