    My family is going to MK on 10/8. We do not have tickets to MNSHP but have dinner reservations at BOG at 7:05pm. Are there rides we can still go on or will we be allowed to shop [on Main Street] up until our dinner reservation?

    Hi Maria! I’m glad you stopped by planDisney with your great question. Be Our Guest Restaurant is my favorite! Not only do I love the restaurant's theme, but the menu is delicious from start to finish! 

    I reached out to a few Cast Members at the Walt Disney World Resort regarding your question. Even though you were able to make your dining reservations, it is unlikely that you will be able to actually dine at that time given Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party occurs that night. Guests without Halloween party tickets will need to start exiting the park at 6:00 PM on party nights. When you show up for your 7:05 PM dining reservation, you will most likely be “flagged” as not having party tickets and will need to leave the park. Unfortunately, the dining reservation system can’t detect who does / doesn’t have Halloween party tickets which is most likely why you were able to make a dining reservation.

    While I know this isn’t the answer you hoped for, I’m glad we caught it now while it’s not too late! I encourage you to cancel your 7:05 PM reservation and start searching for a new one at an earlier time. You should make your dining reservation prior to 6:00 PM. For example, even if you get a dining reservation for 5:55 PM you will be able to enjoy your dining experience because it is before 6:00 PM.

    Be Our Guest Restaurant is very popular, but I encourage you to check dining availability frequently including up to the “day of.” I can usually find dining reservations at popular locations by being persistent with my searching. Maria, I will be hoping for the best as you search for a new reservation time. 

    Dreams do come true!
