Hi Allison! It's nice to see another friend from Massachusetts joining us here at planDisney!
Your magical vacation to
Walt Disney World Resort is coming quickly and it's great to hear that you've already made your Theme Park Reservations and started thinking about Advance Dining Reservations! In fact, TODAY is a special day for you - the 60-day mark before your vacation, meaning you can begin booking your dining reservations and some other experiences from the
Enchanting Extras Collection right away! If you don't get all the reservations you're hoping for right away, keep checking! Many times, Guests (including myself) have had wonderful luck catching last-minute reservations at coveted dining locations just a day or two before planning to dine.
I bet you're getting so excited about your visit to Magic Kingdom! Since the Park closes early that night I definitely suggest getting up with the sun and arriving at the Park for "rope drop"! This means leaving your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel about an hour before the
Early Theme Park Entry opening time to be one of the very first people in line. You'll find that you can hop on some of your favorite attractions like
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and
Dumbo the Flying Elephant with little to no wait.
If you're not planning to attend
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in the evening you may want to think about swapping your Advance Dining Reservation for a location that is not included as one of the options for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Party Dining. Guests who wish to dine at
Be Our Guest Restaurant and
Cinderella's Royal Table any time after 6 p.m. on Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights are required to have a Party Ticket in order to stay for their reservation. Reservations at other locations throughout the Park are open to day Guests through 6:55 p.m.
Since you're already in the Park and already have your Dining Reservation you may really want to think about staying for the Halloween Party! With events like
Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade and
Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, you know you and your party will have a frightfully good time!
