CP reservations at 6:30 but MK closing at 7:00

[dmcmanus]

We have CP dinner reservations at 6:30 but MK closing at 7:00, how long will we be able to stay after 7:00?
Thanks

What day is it on? I bet its on a day of the MNSSHP, if it is, you should be able to stay in the park but will not be able to do any rides or attractions.

I don't think Disney will throw you out of the park.

August 31st, and thanks for the quick reply!

Since ADR's are taken up until park closing time, I'm sure that they take into account that diners will still be around. Just remember that if you're relying on Disney transportation, it only runs I think an hour after park closing.

Thanks

Thanks! that's what I figured, but needed to be sure.

Well, its not the MNSSHP, but just relax and enjoy your dinner, take your time. Miss out on the huge surge of people leaving the park.

Miss your bus?

So what, just walk over to the Contemporary, jump on the Downtown Disney bus and head home that way.

Busses will be continually leaving the park for a couple of hours after closing. It might be closing for the P&P party or some other event.

August 31 is a Princess & Pirate Party. The party starts at 7PM, thus the early park closing. If you're eating at 6:30, you'll be able to finish your meal, but without a P&PP wristband, CMs will steer you toward the exits when you're finished dinner. It may not be too late to get tickets to the party if you're interested [it's really worthwhile IMO - DS and I did it in February and will be going on the 28th again].

Although Disney won't "throw you out of the park" they won't let you stay. I'm not sure, but I expect the Main Street stores will allow you to shop on your way out. Disney does like your money! :lol:

Cool Thanks, just purchaced tickets!

We did not know about the P&P party, we just purchased tickets online!
Thanks you everyone for the assistance! :sohappy:

You won't regret it! Enjoy!

Maybe we'll see you in the parks, DS12 and I are there the 27th, flying out the 1st. :wave:

As I said, we're doing the party on the 28th... :shrug:

Nope. In order to get in the shops you need a wristband.

Are you sure? I cannot imagine Disney, of all places, would not allow you to shop and spend money. They have no problems letting non-resort guests shop and buy food during evening EMH's.

Positive. For the special events (P&P, MVMCP, MNSSHP) they have the event merchandise in the shops, and that's only sold during the parties.

Why can't I think what CP stands for. I am sure when somebody tells me I will feel like an idiot!


Wow! I just got it Crystal Palace, I am an idiot!!!!

No, you're not. I still occasionally have to check here and I've been around for a couple of years! :shrug:

Best plan to do, arrive at MK at 4pm. They will allow ticket holders for P&PP enter at 4pm. From there, go on some attractions. I would arrive at CP for my 6:30pm ADR no later then 6pm.
