Hi Christine!
It sounds like you are getting ready for a fall vacation to Walt Disney World Resort and I'm so happy to help you with your question! I'm glad to hear that you are
planning your dining reservations in advance because that will help you get reservations for the dining experiences on your "must-do" list.
On select evenings in the fall, Magic Kingdom will close early to host
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, a fun, festive and not too spooky evening in the theme park. This year, Magic Kingdom will close at 6:00 p.m. on party nights to prepare for the evening's festivities. After 6:00 p.m., only Guests with tickets to that evening's Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be able to enjoy Magic Kingdom's attractions, entertainment and dining. So, unfortunately, in order to enjoy your 6:30 p.m. reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table, you will need party tickets, in addition to standard theme park tickets for the rest of the day.
If you are not planning on attending the party, I recommend that you consider dining reservations at another theme park, at one of the Disney Resort hotels or at Disney Springs. One great option is
Storybook Dining at Artist Point, where you can enjoy a fantastic meal while you meet Snow White and some of the other Characters from her movie. This is a brand new dining experience at Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort and I can't wait to visit the first time in a few weeks!
Come back to see us if we can help you as you continue planning. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
