For a relative number: the maximum capacity of MK (regular) is listed to be 100,000 and the parking lot is normally closed at 75,000. So you can easily say the park is limited to about 1/3 full capacity during the party.

Yep. But the problem comes when most of the folks at the party congregate for the special parade and fireworks. During the day, guests are more dispersed throughout the park.

Did you order this online? I want one!

The one we have right now is Toy Story which is cool... but not as cool!

I'm not sure if this has been answer, if it has sorry.

If I wait until I arrive to purchase tickets to the party do I have to go to MK to purchase them or can I purchase them at my resort?

My husband and I are actually driving down from GA for the Halloween party (I have heard so many great things). We are only purchasing tickets to the party...not park tickets. What time can we come into magic kingdom that day? I heard a rumor its 4? We just decided to do a small weekend trip to enjoy the party and go to seaworld (never been to seaworld either). Then we will be back to Disney for a week in December.

Admission time has changed this year and if you only have a party ticket you can't get in until 7.

According the podcast, the info they received is that you will be able to get in at 4:00pm
