Welcome James! Thanks for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
I am glad to hear you made a reservation for a fantastic dinner at
Cinderella’s Royal Table. The place is absolutely amazing, a wonderful experience for the whole family.
Advance Dining Reservations can be made for any time before 7:00 p.m. for nights when
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party will happen, if you don’t have specials tickets for the party. However, if you have a dinner reservation for 7:00 p.m. or later, you will need to have tickets to the special event.
If you are not considering to attend the Party, I encourage you to make your reservation at the latest at 06:30p.m. You will be allowed to remain at the restaurant until the conclusion of your meal. After your dining experience, cast members will accompany you to the exit of the park.
I hope this helps your planning. Come back to visit us soon if you have additional questions.
Have a magical day!
Gina V.
