What happens if your Walt Disney World dining reservation is near when the park closes, or even after? Is it a mistake? Don’t worry, some theme park restaurants open earlier than the parks or close later. You will be allowed to dine. When you’ve finished, you’ll see a nearly empty theme park! You won’t be allowed to wander, but if you want to take a few pictures go ahead. As always, you will need admittance to dine in a theme park, even if your reservation is for after the park has closed.
