FP+ and MNSSHP

[OurLaughingPlace]

I have never been to a special event party and am planning on doing MNSSHP this year. Can you book FP+ with a hallowe'en party ticket? If so, does it start at 4:00 or 7:00? But maybe since it's a limited number of party tickets there is no FP+ booking? Thank you for your advice.

from what I've heard in past with just the party ticket you can book 4 to 7pm, but you'll have to wait for someone to confirm since i've always gone with an annual pass.

People last year reported being able to book with a party ticket. But that would not be in addition to a day off your regular park ticket. You could only book 3 per day regardless of which ticket it was from.

There is no fp+ during thr party...so.none after 7. You can book before the party starts, though. A cm told me the final fp+ window on party nights in MK is 5:30-6:30, so I would schedule your fp+ for
3:30-4:30
4:30-5:30
5:30-6:30

You won't be able to use the first one til after you enter at 4 if you use a party tkt to enter, but you will be allowed to schedule the fp+ for that 3:30-4:30 timeslot.

Oh, and FTR, with a party tkt, the fp+ seems to.just recognize it as a ticket. You could technically book a fp+ for any time that day. But since you can't enter the park on a party tkt til 4, it doesn't make sense to book earlier.

I know this because when I had a finish line tkt for the wine and dine 1/2, I booked fp+ for all my rides in morning time slots first, and then modified them to be after the tkt allowed me entrance. Actually, technically, 1 of the 3 was before. The tkt allowed me to enter epcot at 7, but I had fpfp+ booked for 6-7 (was sacrificial, but would try to.use grace period), 7-8, and 8-9 (park closed at 9 before reopening for the party at 10.)

If you are planning to be in a park prior to going to the party that evening, link your Party ticket to a new/different MDE account and you'll be able to book 3 FPs with your Party ticket in addition to your regular park ticket's FPs.

As I've also been told in another thread, if you are going to be in the MK on the day of the party using a regular ticket, the FP+ attached to the party tickets can be used throughout the day. This effectively gives you six FP+ at the 60 day mark, which is important because there are fewer FPs to go around due to shortened operating hours.

How can you book at 60 days with the MNSSHP tix if there is no resort stay linked to the other account? Wouldn't it be 30? Just trying to understand since I'll have a park hopper tix plus getting party tix.

Two years back I was able to book fp+ with only my party ticket. You can only book fp+ between 4 and 7. There are no fp+ during the actual party hours.

I booked one from 4-5, one from 5-6, one from 6-7.

Could they change the rules for this year? Perhaps. But this is how it worked two years ago and it has been reported that it was the same last year as well.

FP+ that are booked can only be *used* after 4. You *can* have a booking window that overlaps 4pm (as an example, the 3:30-4:30 time I posted about earlier).

Thank you to all who replied. I appreciate your assistance!

Some guests book split stays and use two different MDEs. The length of stay tickets are linked to their first MDE and Party tickets are linked to the 2nd stay.

It's also interesting to note that any MDE linked to an onsite MDE, benefits from the 60-day booking window generated by the onsite MDE. So, if the 2nd MDE only has the Party tickets linked, the FPs can still be booked 60 days out.

What will be easier than creating a 2nd MDE account is this:
Add in "new" party-goers into your MDE account. They do not have to be listed on your room reservation.
For example: add in Gus, Jacques, and Perla
- link your MNSSHP tickets to Gus, Jacques, and Perla
- book their FPs for any time of day at the 60-day window
- use the Party tickets at the FP tapstiles

Not true. You can only pre-book 3 FPs per day, regardless of how many tickets you use, unless you take advantage of the trick that Hiro mentioned and attach one of the tickets to a second MDE account. Check bullet point #11 under General in mesaboy's FP+ thread:

Yes, I was quoting the PP to make that exact point -- the party tickets must be on a separate MDE account. My point was only that you do not need to use your regular ticket at another park, it can be at MK also, giving you 6 FP+ for one park.
