Identical deal right here–Bookings for Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Get together at Tomorrowland Terrace with Plaza Backyard Viewing throughout Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together occasion dates must be out there pursuant to the 60 day rule.
We aren’t followers of the dessert events throughout the onerous ticket Halloween and Christmas events for a number of causes. First, they’re more cash on high of an already costly occasion. Second, they eat up worthwhile Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together time; you’ll have already got a tough time doing every little thing, and attending a dessert occasion solely makes that tougher.
Lastly, they merely usually are not essential. Neither of the reserved viewing areas are superb spots for viewing the fireworks, and that’s doubly true with Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks.
This isn’t merely a matter of frugality. When you gave me the choice of viewing the Halloween fireworks from Tomorrowland Terrace or the Plaza Backyard without cost, I might decline. They merely usually are not nice places, and the decrease crowds throughout these occasions makes fireworks viewing simpler than a standard night time in Magic Kingdom.
Critically, you might have a poor view of the unequivocal spotlight of the nighttime spectacular from each reserved places. We watched Not-So-Spooky Spectacular a few dozen instances within the final 12 months it was proven, from nearly each perspective within the park. See our Information to Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular for suggestions primarily based on our experiences (the primary half is a overview, so scroll a little bit over midway down for fireworks viewing suggestions).
In brief, you must solely do the dessert occasion if you happen to actually need Halloween-themed desserts. In that case, why not simply purchase them at varied places across the park? You’d come out forward each in financial and time value.
Alternatively, do the dessert occasion on a special night time in Magic Kingdom. Whereas we nonetheless don’t advocate it, the worth calculus is considerably higher. Fireworks viewing is tougher on a standard night time (so that you truly profit from the reserved viewing areas), and the chance value is decrease. Significantly, these dessert events usually are not price it–they’re pushed virtually completely by the FOMO machine and never an trustworthy and logical evaluation of worth for cash.
With the dessert occasion data out of the best way, right here’s a have a look at the opposite eating choices out there throughout Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Get together at Magic Kingdom…
Most counter service eating places are open throughout Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together, with comparatively cheap hours. Our sturdy suggestion could be consuming an early dinner, ideally earlier than the occasion begins.
When you’re planning on doing character meet & greets–significantly the favored ones–you actually ought to think about eating round 4 or 5 pm (too dangerous Disney doesn’t do early fowl specials) so that you’re carried out and might queue up early to your first character.
Alternatively or moreover, safe spots for the primary Boo to You Parade and ship a runner to seize meals. Multi-tasking throughout downtime scores you critical savvy strategist factors, that are presently buying and selling at 1.77 Shrute Bucks (it’s a troublesome economic system, however beet futures have been resilient).
You gained’t be the one one with this concept, and the most well-liked choice for that’s Casey’s Nook, by a longshot. You’ll see dozens of frightened fathers precariously perching trays of scorching canines whereas weaving by means of the crowds, cautious to not drop their valuable cargo–valued at dozens of Schrute Bucks. Now that oughta be an Olympic sport!
Level being, Casey’s Nook might be a simple and environment friendly choice, nevertheless it’s additionally busy. However, it’s what we advocate if you happen to’re watching Boo to You from Primary Avenue. Sleepy Hole is the closest various, and the road there might be simply as dangerous–however far much less environment friendly. Pecos Invoice is just too far-off, and Columbia Harbour Home normally closes early. Cosmic Ray’s could be a good choice, particularly if, like me, you’ve been eyeing that ridiculous Bayou Burger.
Alternatively, there might be a few desk service eating places open throughout Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together:
- Be Our Visitor Restaurant – Take pleasure in delectable French-inspired fare amidst enchanting décor—très délicieux!
- Cinderella’s Royal Desk – Dine inside Cinderella Fort throughout this one-of-a-kind expertise impressed by the basic fairy story.
Advance Eating Reservations are extremely really helpful for each of those eating places throughout Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together. These eating experiences are individually priced and usually are not included within the ticket worth for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Get together.
As with the dessert events, we don’t advocate doing desk service meals throughout MNSSHP. There are just too many different nice issues to do at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together–it’s unlikely you are able to do all the common leisure in a single night time–to justify placing valuable time in direction of a prolonged, sit-down dinner. It’s simply not price taking the time from the common superior leisure of the Halloween occasion to do that.
Lastly, there are the savory snacks, decadent desserts, and particular entrees out there throughout Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together. A few of these look enjoyable, however a lot of them are additionally out there throughout daytime hours in Magic Kingdom. Until one thing actually catches your eye and you may’t get it throughout a standard day within the park, we wouldn’t advocate prioritizing these merchandise.
In the end, our tackle all the eating choices throughout Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Get together primarily comes right down to the price in {dollars}, however extra importantly, in time. Each desk service eating and dessert events eat a minimum of an hour, if no more. On a standard night time within the park, there’s not a lot alternative value to this–the downtime is sweet.
Furthermore, the dessert events would usually supply upside by way of reserved viewing. None of that’s true throughout the onerous ticket occasions. Eat earlier than you arrive, or follow counter service and attempt to multi-task whereas ready for one thing else. It’s at all times true that point is cash at Walt Disney World, however that adage is much more pronounced throughout these dear particular occasions!
