    We have passes for Mickey's Not-so-Scary Halloween Party and are hoping to get a 4:00 dinner reservation at Be our Guest. We are able to enter Magic Kingdom at 4:00; however, that would make us late for our reservation. Are we able to enter at 3:30?

    Welcome to planDisney, Michelle! Thanks for being our guest today! It looks like your advance dining reservation window opens tomorrow for your arrival date, so let's get right into your question so you can plan to grab a reservation time at Be Our Guest Restaurant that will best suit your itinerary!

    Michelle, entry to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party for guests who only have a party ticket begins promptly at 4 PM. In my experience, guests are held at the entrance to Magic Kingdom until the turnstiles are activated for party tickets to be accepted. Having attended this special event for the past two years, I always like to show up early to try to be towards the front of the line, and I have always been held at the entrance until the clock strikes 4 PM. Upon entrance, guests are also directed through a pathway to collect their trick-or-treat bags and a few special party goodies, so you'll want to keep that in mind as you plan your reservation time. I'd recommend trying to get your reservation time closer to 4:30 PM if possible; if you do this, I'd also recommend showing up to get in line for the party close to 3:30 PM, as the line does get long and entry can sometimes get backed up right at 4 PM.

    During the Halloween party, Be Our Guest will prepare and serve with flair a special seasonal menu that promises the grey stuff is not the only thing you'll find to be delicious! You can check out the party menu online to prepare your appetite for this culinary cabaret!

    Michelle, I hope this helps, and I hope you're able to get a reservation time that works for you to enjoy a delicious meal in Beast's castle! It sounds like the most enchanting way to start a Halloween celebration!

    Boo to you,
