Hello there, Michelle! Welcome to
planDisney, and thank you so much for sending us your question. I’m so excited for you! Dining at
Be Our Guest Restaurant is such a magical experience!
I completely understand your concern about the menu, especially since your dining reservation happens to fall on the same evening as
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. While Be Our Guest does note that a special party-exclusive menu begins at 4 p.m., I’m happy to share some clarity here.
The party menu is only available to Guests who have purchased tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Because you won’t be attending the event itself, your reservation will instead give you access to the standard Be Our Guest dinner menu, just as it would on any other evening.
It’s important to note that once the party officially begins at 6 p.m., only Guests with event tickets will be able to remain in
Magic Kingdom. But since your reservation is for 5:40 p.m., you’ll have plenty of time to check in, enjoy your meal, and then make your way toward the exit once dinner is finished. The Cast Members are always wonderful at helping direct day Guests out of the park when it transitions to party hours.
I truly hope this helps, Michelle! If you have any other questions for us, please don't hesitate to come right back here. We're always available and more than happy to help here at planDisney!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
