We have just learned we have a similar problem. Months ago we made MK park reservations and then 60 days out made dinner reservations at Skippers Canteen for 6:30pm. We wanted to eat dinner and watch fireworks with our four year old. Now, we find the day we planned is also a Christmas Party day. The park now closes at 6:00pm. Will we be allowed to stay? Will there be fireworks before 6:00pm? Firewowks at all? Thought about switching days, but there are no dinner reservations available now. Our daughter will be devastated to miss the fireworks. She's too young to stay really late, and the admission is a pretty big tab for any value we would receive. I can't believe Disney allowed us make reservations 30 minutes after park closing and/or did not alert us to the Christmas Party.
