    I have a reservation for dinner in Magic Kingdom at 5:50 on a day the park closes at 6 for the special event Christmas party. Will we be able to stay for our reservation?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Heather!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! The holiday season at Disney is one of the most enchanting times to visit, with twinkling lights on every lamppost and festive music dancing through the air. You can practically feel the joy as you stroll down Main Street, U.S.A., surrounded by garlands, wreaths, and that warm, Christmas cheer only Mickey can create. It sounds like your plans are merry and bright, especially with a dinner reservation right in the heart of Magic Kingdom!

    So, are you ready for some TIGGER-ific news? I am very excited to share that you can absolutely keep your Disney Dining reservation at 5:50 p.m. on a night the park closes at 6:00 p.m. for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party! Guests with regular park tickets are still welcome to dine if their reservation begins just before closing time, so no need to cancel those delicious plans. Once you finish eating, Cast Members will kindly guide you toward the park exit as the Christmas party begins for guests with special event wristbands. But don’t worry, you’ll still soak up some of that festive atmosphere, with holiday lights twinkling and cheerful music filling the air.

    The GREAT thing is that your holiday celebration doesn't have to end at the exit of Magic Kingdom. You could make your evening even more special by hopping on the monorail to visit the Grand Floridian, the Contemporary, and the Polynesian to check out all the festive decorations.

    If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
