Into the park before closing

We're off on Sunday: my mother, myself, and my kids aged 10, 8 and 3, for 5 nights. Due to the age of my youngest, I'm generally thinking about eating at 19:00 most days. I'm wondering if I should go for a 18:00 slot on one of the days, and head back into the park right before closing for Dreams. Will that be a problem? At what time should I be in the park at the latest?

We ate most evenings at 6.30 which was about right for getting back into the park for 8.30. Think it depends on which restaurant you are eating at and where you plan on seeing the Disney dreams show from x

It may be good to remember that you have a pretty good view of Dreams! from both Inventions and the California Grill, just ask for a window spot. ;) Especially if you're in the outer rooms of either restaurant.

Maybe have a big lunch and just something lighter like hot dogs and eat that while waiting for dreams. We have done that a few times... tbh I am exhausted especially we havebeen up for emh so we eat dinner earlier 6 latest really.

Usually I was heaving dinner at 19:00, but being by myself meant that I generally was done at a Table Service restaurant in an hour or less, but I can see that it might get a little more lengthy when you're with a party of 4. :)

Thanks for your help. I made my bookings yesterday, and will be eating at Auberge at 14:30 on Monday, so that'll make it easy to go to Dreams.
