Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Amy!
Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to
Disney World! It sounds like you will be visiting in a few weeks—THIS IS SO EXCITING! Get ready for days filled with MAGICAL adventures, iconic attractions, and pixie dust around every corner. From the first glimpse of Cinderella Castle to traveling through the Grid on
Tron Lightcycle/Run, your trip is going to be unforgettable!
So, are you ready for some MAGICAL news? I am very happy to share with you that your 5:55 p.m. reservation at
The Crystal Palace is good to go! On
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights,
Magic Kingdom officially closes to day guests at 6:00 p.m. Since your reservation is before closing time, you are allowed to check in and enjoy your meal without needing a party ticket. Mickey honors
Disney Dining reservations as long as they begin before the park officially transitions to party guests.
Here is what to expect when you arrive for your reservation. You will check in just like normal, and a Cast Member will seat you for dinner. The great thing is that you will be able to enjoy your meal at a relaxed pace. After your meal, Cast Members will kindly guide you toward the exit while the SPOOK-tacular party gets underway.
Having dinner at Crystal Palace right at closing time can feel like a bonus! You will be dining while the day crowds are leaving and the party guests are filtering in. This just means a calmer, cozier exit after your meal. It’s a great way to end your Magic Kingdom day with a sweet finale before heading back to your resort. Oh, and make sure you tell Pooh hello from all of us!
If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way we can!
Have a MAGICAL day!
Wes
