Entering MK For MNSSHP

[scanne]

What is the earliest someone can get into MK for the party if they don't have a PS at a MK restaurant? My BIL and SIL are joining us (they decided last minute) but they won't be in the MK that day. They have their party tickets and wanted to know what the earliest they'd be allowed to enter without having to pay for admission to the MK.

I hope that makes sense.........

Thanks!

I will be going to MNSSHP for the first time on the 14th so I am not a 100% sure on this, but I have seen many other's post that you can get into the Magic Kingdom at 4:00p.m. with just your MNSSHP Ticket.

I had also seen many people saying 4:00, but I wanted to be sure, so I called and was advised that they will be letting us in at 4:00 with just the MNSSHP ticket.

I am glad to hear this. I made a PS for LTT at 415 for the 12th. I hope we can make it on time!

I have never been to the Halloween party, but have been to xmas party. We had to leave the park early during the Day of the xmas party. We returned around 4.15 and yes we were allowed to enter with our xmas party tickets. We showed them the tickets and received our wrist band at the entrance to the park.

I have found out, if you would like to keep your tickets as a sovierner of the party come in the front gates. They handed the tickets back to us. As on other occassions we have eaten at LLT the night of party and we told them we were there for the party and their took our tickets and brought back the wrist bands for us at the rest. They kept the tickets.

You need the tickets to get your photo. Last year they marked the tickets at the photo area.

We attended the party 2 times last year and both times we were allowed in at 4:00 PM and allowed to keep our ticket.

We were never asked for the ticket in order to get a photo, but I would hang on to it if another poster was asked, because you never know.


BTW - here's a tip - shortly before 7PM they start the rides in Fantasyland, and we were able to ride everything, and I mean everything, in about 30-45 minutes. It was great!

You guys have ESP. I was on hold today to ask this very same question but had to leave before they could get to me. We have two dd's, 5 and 2 and were going to skip the parks during the day but head to MK for the party at night and didn't want to have to buy an extra day's worth of tickets. When we get there at 4 do they keep us in a certain area until a certain time?

You guys are the best. Thanks so much!

4 pm. We went 10/1/04 and it was great!

 

[weloveprincesses]

Dzneefreak OMG, you were JUST there! Can you wander around the parks if you go at four? Also, (shhhh don't tell anyone I'm asking about this guy! teehee) Did they have the balloon guy there? He was THE BEST part of the whole thing two years ago. He made a balloon Ariel for my dd. It was too cool. Too bad we couldn't get her back home on the airplane! Can't wait to go! Thanks!

I'm very interested if anyone knows, if they let you into the park to ride rides @ 4:00 or your taken to a certain area.

My plan is not to go to the party at night but to go to MK during the day. I would like to know if the rides are going to get crowded later in the day before the start of the party. I want to make my touring plans accordingly.

You can enter the park at 4:00p with just your party ticket and ride whatever you want to till 6:00p. Then you will be ushered into Tomorrowland until 7:00p.

People are already reporting back from the MNSSHP last night that you can, indeed, enter after 4:00p with just your party ticket just as they've been doing for the past couple of years.

At a MNSSP we attended a few years ago we had to show our tickets AND wristband in order to buy the special pins.
Each was marked with a black marker.

Okay, so we are ABSOLUTELY SURE we can get into the parks at 4:00pm with just our special event tickets? I called to change my PS from LTT to CP for the MVMCP, but the CM told me that they would NOT let me into the parks until 7:00pm with the MVMCP ticket, even with a PS. I have a 5:35pm for LTT on 12/5 and I hope I can get in. I wanted to change to CP, but the only time they had available for my size party was 4:15 and she said I would not be able to get in. Is this true? Thanks, I am becoming paranoid I won't be able to get in to eat dinner!

YES

We arrived at 4pm yesterday and had no problem getting in. We did all the rides in TL and FL before 6pm. At 6 we went to get something to eat but you could wander around the park before the party started at 7.

There were characters everywhere for those of you into that. The greatest photo op was Snow White and all 7 Dwarves in FL behind the Castle.

Lots of places to trick or treat. The parade was okay. I was not overly impressed with it.

We got in yesterday at 4pm as well. Dznefreek--did you actually get a photo w/ Snow White and the Dwarves??? When we saw them it was so chaotic that the CM's decided to stop allowing pictures w/ guests. We were a bit disappointed.

 

[buzzlightlily]

Tell us more!

 

[Dznefreek]

As we walked by I quickly snapped this:

There were just too many people in line for a picture. Some of the character lines were longer than the attraction lines. Everything was a walk-on.

We walked past the Jungle Cruise around 6:50 pm and the girl standing out front asked us if we wanted to ride because they were all ready to go. She told my son we would have a boat all to ourselves and also told him since we would be alone he could "drive" the boat for this trip. Neat huh . . . .
