3:15 to 4:15 JC FP for MVMCP. Am I cutting it too close?

[JeninTexas]

I made my FP reservations for our party day and the best I could get for Jungle Cruise was 3:15 to 4:15. I know we can get into the parks at 4:00 on the day of the party. Will that give me enough time to get to JC and use my FP? What time do people start lining up to get into the park on party days? How long can we expect it will take to make it through the gates?

Cutting it close for sure. That said, there is a 15-minute grace period after the window that is usually--but not always--honored.

It is also possible you will be let in as early as 3:40p-3:45p, so I would be prepared for that.

Yes. Just get at the entrance at/before 4PM sharp and you will be in great shape. It takes just 5-10 minutes to go from the entrance to Jungle Cruise.

Now that everything is linked to MagicBands and cards, getting through the entrance for the parties is pretty quick even on full days. Takes just a minute or two.

I had similar times for Buzz on my MNSSHP date (October 16). We were actually through security checkpoints and inside the park at 3:50, so it was absolutely fine. Try to get in early.

I also have a 3:15-4:15 FP on our MVMCP night (ours is for Space Mountain). The plan is to get to the park early, before 4 and head straight for it once we get in. It's a great time slot for party goers. You can get in and start riding right away.

Have a great time!

Nah, you should be fine.

I had a 4:20 expiration for 7DMT last week and I made it easily. Just make sure to get to the park early (probably about 3:15 or so) so you will be at the front of the pack. That line gets LONG. Aside from that, there is a grace period too, so I think you'll be fine.

I had a 315 to 415 Jungle Cruise FP this past Tuesday at the sold out Halloween party. Arrived at MK about 340, they started admitting guests at 345, and I made it to Jungle Cruise well before 4pm.

There didn't seem to be a huge crowd waiting to be admitted, however. Other days might be different. But there were plenty of open turnstiles for the party.

If they admit guests before 4pm you should be fine.

I'm so confused...I thought fast passes were NOT given out at parties?? I even called to check, and the CM said you did not get any FPs with the MVMCP ticket. Was I given the wrong information??

With a MVMCP ticket, you can enter MK at 4:00. FPs can be booked for the 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. time period.

FPs are not available during Party hours.

We had a 3:15-4:15 BTMRR for MNSSHP. We were in line For the party & they allowed us to enter at 3:50. We made it on time with 5 mins to spare. You'll be ok. Just be in line & head directly to Jungle cruise once they let you in.

Good to know that they will let you in a little earlier...I have LM FP for that same time on a party night and I have been trying to change it. I'll just keep it now

At that time of day, you won't actually need a FP for Journey of the Little Mermaid, anyway.

Glad you asked this question. I have a 3:05-4:05 for Space Mnt. I keep looking for a later slot, but our 7DMT starts at 4:20 so the best I could gain is another 15 minutes. I am HOPING they will let us in at 3:45ish and/or the 15-min. grace period will be allowable.
Good to hear either is possible...

Thank you for that information!!

Thank you for that information!!

You're welcome! Hope you are able to book some... try to book your first one for the 3:05 - 4:05 window.
