Thanks everyone for your replies.
We were probably just going to MK around 4 when they start letting everyone in. So maybe we'll make a 4:30 ressie for dinner that way we should be finished in time for the festivities.
I forget... do you have to use a day from your regular ticket? Or is the ticket for the party your ticket to get in
We went to the Pirates and princesses party a few years ago and for the life of me can't remember about the ticket process.
Thanks again for your help
