Early diner before MNSSHP and questions

[CruznLexi]

This is my first Haloween Party I have done the Christmas one before. I called yesterday to add another ticket so we are now going Oct 19th and Oct 20th. I also told the CM we had diner reservation for the 20th at 525pm and what time could I get into the MK? I just wanted to make sure what I was told earlier was true. He told me that I had to have my conf. number with me and that I could come at 5pm and go to LTT and have diner but I would not be allowed on any rides or anywhere else after I ate except the LTT? I also asked about the horseman. He told me it only rides in the cirlce in front of the castle. For peole who have been before can people confirm or disconfirm this? We had hopped to watch the parade in Frontierland by Splash Mt area and do the HH too in that area.

I have no idea about the veracity of this CM's claims, but it seems to me that it would be awfully difficult to "police" you after your dinner was finished. Especially if the day-guests are still legally allowed in the park at that time! Who would know you didn't come in on a daily admission ticket?

I don't know if the horseman has changed it's route, but he used to run the entire length of the parade. We watched him go by us in Frontierland. I know the direction of the parade changed one year for some reason, but I had not heard that the headless horseman had shortened his ride. Anyone else have info on this?
