For Anyone that Attended MVMCP Last Year

[disneyfav4ever]

I know last year Disney tried closing Magic Kingdom at 6 PM for MVMCP in order to clear day guests. Do you think it helped? Also, we always went into MK at 4 PM for MNSSHP/MVMCP when we were allowed early admission. Do they kick party guests out to from 6-7? It's not really an issue for us as if we're not allowed in MK for the party until 7 we can have an early dinner at one of the monorail resorts, but if we can be in MK from 4 - 7 I would rather make our big meal that day lunch.

Last year they allowed party guests in starting at 4 pm. They don’t actually kick anyone out at 6 they just don’t allow those without wristbands into the attraction line past 6. There were MANY non party guests in the Hub to watch the early castle lighting and stage show that goes along with it. I haven’t been to a Christmas party previously so I can’t comment vs previous years but compared to the Halloween party I felt like I saw a lot of people trying to hang around in the Hub after 7

Nonparty guests were allowed to watch the castle lighting and show. That’s not just for party guests.

You can get into the party at 4, and you can actually book a couple fastpasses prior to the party starting with the party ticket. I was only able to get two because of how the times lined up (and it was in the <30 day window) but you could be lucky and get three!

Went last year for the first time...as others have stated, they allowed party guests in at 4:00. We did see some non-party guests still walking around (not just the HUB area) after 7:00. But, never saw any of them in any lines for rides, characters, or snacks.

Did see two CMs politely ask two non-party guests to make their way to the exit. That couple tried to say that is where they were headed yet this was near Winnie the Pooh and they were walking towards Storybook Circus. Couple still didn't turn around after CMs said they were going the wrong way and needed to leave the park. Couple actually picked up their pace. CMs radio'd someone and about 5 min later, saw same couple being lead out of the park by security. I will say that was a very isolated experience. Think most non-party guests do hang around the hub if anywhere on or after 7.
