Can we do this at the MNSSHP front gate mix in?

We are attending a Halloween party at the Magic Kingdom in October and will have day passes for the park as well. We plan on going in the morning then coming back to our hotel to rest before going back to MK for the party. The plan right now is to arrive maybe around 4:30 to the park?

My question is this. If we go through the regular Park entrance gate to avoid the crowds trying to get in with just a party ticket, can we then show the party tickets in our Apple wallet to get our party wristbands before even going under the railroad tracks? Or are we going to be forced to have to go to one of the wristband distribution areas inside the park proper? Really just want to see if we can do this up front so we can go in the side Main Street party entrance.

Thanks in advance for the help!

No. You would have to go through the party entrance to get the wristbands at the front (otherwise you'll have to go to one of the locations in the park)

If you’re not arriving til 4:30pm, you’ll likely avoid most of the crowds anyways.

No.
The CM's handing out the wristbands are doing so just beyond the tapstiles for party guests and you'll not be able to get over there to get one.

You're making it too complicated.
Just go through the party line and be done.
Because otherwise you'll need to go to an in park location.
