Here is my post from the original thread, cut & pasted here:
Well, I was home to get my phone call from Eric from the MK Executive Offices. We spoke for almost 10 mins and he answered every question that I had and elaborated a bit more on things that we've been told.
He said that starting at 4PM, ticket holders will be allowed entrance and wristband distribution will commence at different locations throughout the MK, similar to those areas where EMH wristbands are given out. Guests with TS reservations would be allowed entry from 4PM on, he was not sure how things would be handled for party guests who made TS ressies before 4. He suggested that those guests would speak to someone at the gate or at guest relations at the park.
He said that day guests will be told upon entrance to the park that day that there will be a special evening event and that the park would be closed to those without party tickets at 7PM. He suggested that there will be announcements made throughout the day and especially closer to 6pm.
Starting at 7PM, a number of CMs will be assigned to designated areas to begin escorting day guests to the park exits. Wristbands will be thoroughly checked in every area and if you do not have a wristband you will be asked to leave, then escorted from the park if you attempt to remain.
At 7pm, the party will beging and CMs will be posted in every walkway starting with the hub and branching outward into the lands. At every ride, food/beverage locations (including free standing carts), inside the stores, trick or treat lines, the entrance to the dance party, any character photo lines, and along the parade route, wristbands will be checked.
He suggested that you may have to show your wristband not only when you enter a queue for a ride but also when you attempt to board that same ride. There will be CMs posted at ride exits as well.
I expressed my concern that day guests would either be confused (if they didn't know about the party), aggravated (because they aren't getting to stay), or just plain rude (because they want to get something for free) and he said that it won't be an issue because there will be plenty of CMs to explain what is happening and to ensure that only paying party guests remain.
I asked if they were considering reverting back to the way it was handled in previous years and he said emphatically no, despite the number of recents calls & emails (go DISers!) that they are going to utilize the current plan and re-evaluate throughout the process.
I also expressed my concerns that because my family is attending the 1st party (for the 1st time ever) that we feel as though we are "guinea pigs" in the process. He said that he was sorry that we felt that way, but that they had been studying this particular process for quite some time and felt it would be the best for everyone. He said that many guests from previous parties had complained about the "one land" process, that is what led them to try something new this year.
He said that if I truly feel that my party experience is hindered in some way by the new policy to contact him directly after I return and he would gladly take my comments down. He also said that after the Halloween parties are complete, they will look at the process in its entirety to be sure it will work for the Christmas parties.
Ok, sorry to write the book I did, but wrote all my questions ( & his answers) down so that I'd remember everything. I'm going to check my notes again & see if I forgot to put something here.
Sounds great to me! If anyone else has had the same call let us know. Hopefully all of the cast members doing the calling are telling the same info. 
my ? is we may not have to go to one land as they did in the passed years.
I'd just like some info, since I am a newbie. 
if they are going to start calling people shouldn't they get their answers straight??
