Hi Phyl,
I'm so very glad you decided to stop by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with this excellent question!
I have some good news to share with you! Admission to
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom Park does not officially begin until 7:00 p.m. Since you will be visiting this theme park during the day, do keep that much coveted dinner reservation at
Be Our Guest Restaurant. You will certainly be allowed to remain at the restaurant until the conclusion of your meal, even if you didn't purchase the special event tickets. There is absolutely no need to rush your meal either. So go ahead and enjoy an unforgettable leisurely dinner inside the Beast's enchanted castle. Be sure to sample at least one dessert order of The "Grey Stuff"; it truly IS delicious! Believe me, there's no need to ask the dishes!
All of the above being said, once the clock strikes 7:00 p.m., Cast Members will check to see if Guests have the special party ticket wristbands for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. If you do not have them, then they will graciously escort you to the park's exit. But again, you won't be asked to leave Be Our Guest Restaurant in the middle of your dinner. In other words, Cast Members are more than happy to allow day Guests to finish up a meal or a shopping transaction as the park closes and the ticketed event begins.
I hope you found this information useful, Phyl. Please visit us again here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with all your questions. We are more than delighted to sprinkle a little pixie dust on your Disney vacation plans while helping you discover the true
Power of Magic.
Ritzy ºOº
