Here's the email I received today. I had submitted a question via disneyworld.com asking if I could arrive at 4pm and expect to be admitted to MK with my
MNSSHP special event ticket in time for a 4:45pm ADR.
========================
While we appreciate your interest, our Theme Parks offer Special Ticket
Events (such as the list below) during the year which requires separate
admission tickets. Magic Your Way Tickets are not valid for these
events; however you are more than welcome to use them during the day of
the event until 7:00 pm when the park will close.
Guests holding a special event ticket are able to enter the park for
their special event any time after 7:00 pm.
Guests who have entered the Theme Park using a Magic Your Way ticket and
have also purchased Special event tickets for the same day may return to
the main entrance or designated locations in the park to have the
special event admission media swiped anytime after 4pm. You will receive
a wristband, which will serve as proof of admission for the event later
that evening.
Once they have swiped your event ticket and you have received a
wristband, you may stay in the park at regular park closing to enjoy the
event, while guests without wristbands will be told the park has closed
for the day and will be asked to leave the park. Designated locations
for wristband distribution are indicated by signage, or you may ask a
Cast Member for directions to these locations.
Some events we are currently selling that require special admission
ticket, and follow the above guidelines, include:
Night of Joy
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party
