Disney - Late entry?

[Trina]

We do not intend to go to the parks with the rest of the family on our upcoming trip. However, we would like to join them for our daughters birthday dinner. Does anyone know if there is there such a thing as an afternoon/late entry ticket available at the gate?
Thank you

No late entry tickets, however you can book character meals at most of the disney hotels which would save you park entry fees
