    If I make dinner reservations to a restaurant that is at one of the parks, do i need a park ticket to get in? Example: Cinderella Castle.

    Welcome, Ryan, to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!

    A theme park ticket is required if you have an Advanced Dining Reservation at any of the restaurants inside of the theme parks. 

    But no worries, Ryan, there are some wonderful restaurants located at the Resorts, Disney Springs, and Disney's Boardwalk. These locations do not require theme park admission and parking is complimentary. Parking is always free at Disney Springs with or without a dining reservation, but if you decide to dine at 1900 Park Fare at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club, or at Chef Mickey's at Disney's Contemporary Resort, parking is free up to 3 hours. 

    Alos, Advanced Dining Reservations can be made 180 days in advanced whether you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort or not!

    Happy planning, Ryan! If you have more questions about your upcoming Disney vacation, please stop by and visit with the Disney Parks Moms Panel again soon!
