christmas party, park entry, and park hopper

[almburr]

so we have a trip booked for November 2025, 5th -10th, no Park Hopper. I know the party dates are not out for that year just yet. But, if one of those dates has a party scheduled and we would buy tickets for it. I know entry for party guests is around 4PM. Could we lets say go to EPCOT for the day and then go to the party at 4PM, or would we need PH to do so,or have to wait until 6PM when the party starts w/o PH, Or just have that day also for MK?

If you have a dated ticket for the day of the party, you can use it at the park of your choice.

The party ticket is a separate thing, and you can access the party park at the time allowed, using that separate ticket (eg 4pm for Magic Kingdom).

I had looked into this for our current trip, before deciding we wanted to sleep in and rest from our rope-dropping habits on the day of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas party (tomorrow!!).
