FP during MNSSHP?

[peaches0313]

Sorry..can't remember the answer... we have park hopper tickets... going to Epcot in the am... MK in the pm for the Halloween party... There are not many rides my young girls will want to do in Epcot.... so can I use the FP's in the afternoon at MK?

Yes! Because you have park hoppers, you can enter MK at any time and use Fp+ before 7:00. Party guests enter at 3:45/4:00.

I'm a little confused by your question. You don't need park hopper tickets to visit Epcot in the morning and the Halloween party in the evening unless you want to enter the MK prior to 4pm, which is when you can get in with just the party ticket. If you want to enter before 4, then you would need the park hopper ticket, and yes, you could schedule FP+ for MK. If you're entering with the party ticket, I don't know if you'll be able to book FP+ for the 4-7 time frame, but since FP was never used during the parties, I wouldn't expect FP+ to be available during the party hours.

Ok...so sounds like I would need to enter park prior to 4 pm w/ my park ticket (not Halloween party ticket) to be able to use FP+ from 4-7 if I'm reading this correctly? We have BBB appts that day at 4 pm, so I suppose we will have to enter earlier than 4 anyways. Sounds like maybe I could do a FP or two around 5/ 5:30 pm...something like that!

We went just to the MNSSHP last year and entered the park at 4. I made FP for 4:00, 5:00, and 6:00. It worked out great!

That sounds perfect! Thanks! :")

That is correct. You would need to use your park ticket prior to 4PM to get in. You will still need to get a party bracelet some time around 4-7PM for the party. You can use FP and book it up until 7PM when the party starts. They do not have FP at the parties as only party guests with bracelet can ride.

If it's possible and if I make a suggestion. The value in the BBB is to have it done for the day and be in the parks. If possible, you may want to schedule the BBB appointment in the morning to allow DD to get all the attention at the parks for the day, take the monorail over to EPCOT for the day and then back to MK when you are ready. Just a suggestion. I know my DD loved all the attention throughout the day.

MM1971: I appreciate the suggestions! I will think about this.... but we wanted Friday to be "easy" so not sure I want to stop off in MK before Epcot...as this is our only day in Epcot and a 1/2 day at that! Our girls go back mid-day to nap, as well, so will be leaving Epcot around noon... then heading to MK after naps
