How late can I get in line?

[Eevaa]

hello everyone, I will be in MK on two Christmas Party nights and one night that was EMH, but I am not staying on-site. I had read that I can get in line right at closing but since these other events are going on I am uncertain. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

That's actually a pretty darn good question.

You can get in line right before closing, but expect to be escorted/guided out shortly after getting off the ride on the party nights. At EMH you technically could just wander the park and look in the stores and no one would know you weren't an on site guest unless you tried to get in line for another attraction and they tried to scan your magic band. But at parties, guests that are in attendance will have arm bands that are clearly visible to CMs. They will know you're not a part of the party and will be escorted to the front of the park, same as any dining guests who finish their dinners after the party starts and are not attending the party.

then I was at MNSHP the M walked the park standing pretty much shoulder to shoulder and you were not allowed past them if you where not at the party they even checked the lines they made someone with out a party ticket get out of line for Maridith but I think it was 5 minutes past 7 I would not get in any line that you could not finish the ride or if you are unsure ask the CM

^This, generally, but they may close the line to non-party guests a bit early on more popular rides. If you really want to ride, don't wait until the last minute.

After getting off the ride you will need to leave the park immediately. You will not be able to shop or use the restrooms.

We were in cosmic rays last month when a msnshp had just started.

When we were finished eating-we were told to leave at a different exit to our usual chosen route-
I walked up to the cm and told him 'I don't know where you mean' & he shouted it's over there?!
Soooo useful

No one physically escorted us out the restaurant-however,as soon as we left we were directed well away from the party guests.
It was actually rather amusing-my ds said they might as well say 'get out' rather than goodnight.

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like we should get in our last line early then. I'd hate to stand in line just to get told to leave.

Well, that won't happen. If you're allowed in the line you'll be able to ride.

I haven't heard of anyone being asked to leave an attraction line once they entered it because of MNSSHP/MVMCP. As Alesia mentioned, they may close the line to non-party guests a bit before the official closing of the park to non-party guests, but if that happens, it means you wouldn't be able to get in the line in the first place (i.e., they won't go through the line asking non-party goers to leave). The only exceptions are for the party-exclusive characters. Those lines do start to form before the party starts (so while the park is open to everyone), but you will be asked to leave the line if you do not have a wristband for the party (although, the CMs should have prevented you from getting in the line in the first place). The character won't show up until the party starts, but the lines can form pretty early.

I never or noticed anyone actually escorted out. Had CM's ask to see my wrist and tell those without bands they needed to head out, but not actually walk out with them. They wouldn't let them go further into the park though.

Walk outs are usually for people in restaurants. They happen if the parade is starting shortly or some sort of entertainment at the castle stage. I've only witnessed it once but a family was at CP before a MNSSHP and the parade was already going through. A CM was guiding them out of the park and when they stopped to take a picture of a float he told them very sternly they are not allowed to stop or take photos as the parade was for party goers only. The lady tried to stop completely and the CM said ma'am if you continue to stop we will stop by guest relations where you will be charged for the party so your group can stay. I guess he had it with their a. By the time they got from CP to the emporium he directed them inside so they couldn't see the parade and from my guessing continued to walk them out.
