Just made PS for LTT 60 days out - will need hopper day

[alexandra uk]

I've just made a 5.30 ps for LTT on Dec 5th
I'm so chuffed I was starting to worry that I wouldn't get anything.
I asked the CM if I'd need to use a hopper day to gain entry, and she said yes. She said I'd need to hand security my tickets and PS number.
I don't know whether this is right. I've heard different things on this subject.
I'm just going to go along for about 5.00 ( will that be enough time to get to LTT from the gate ).
I will tell security that I was told our MVMCP would be okay for the ps

I think you should be ok, but I suggest watching the returning MNSSHP goers to see how getting in early w/just their MNSSHP tickets for a PS at LTT worked for them! I would assume MVMCP would work the same

I would think you would have enough time arriving at 5, but I would probably shoot for 4:45 PM just in case. Always better to be safe than sorry

Thanks Kathy
How long will it take to get from the parking lot to LTT ?
I'd like to get the ferryboat there to get my first view of the castle.

Do you mean that I should arrive at LTT or the gate by 4.45 ?

Alexandra, was that the earliest time? Does MVMCP start at 7PM? How many people for your party?
I am trying tomorrow fpr a table for 5 around 4:30 or 5PM for Dec. 6. I didn't want to miss any of the party, but I didn't want to leave the park either.

When I did the party (which starts at 7pm) - I had a PS for 5.30 and it worked out perfectly - we finished eating about 6.40 or so I think - plenty of time before the rides re-opened to just wander and enjoy a bit of atmosphere

Alex, I think it'll be just fine to arrive at the gate for 5pm (I'd allow a good half hour to get from parking your car via the ferry to the gate though to be safe) - LTT doesn't take 10 minutes to get to once inside the park. When I did the party, CM's were handing out the wristbands by the Walt and Mickey statue in front of the castle - if they are doing the same, you could pick up your wristband enroute - much easier!

I meant the gate

I am just one of those people who can't stand to be late even for a minute! So I would be extra careful (doesn't mean you need to too). I always figure I never know what will happen as I try to get to my destination, so I need to be prepared with some extra time to get there. I would just rather be early than right on time or late You will probably be just fine planning on being at the gate by 5! I just meant that things can happen. You could just miss the ferry, and have to wait on it making you cut it a bit close. I would be fiipping out if that happened, but again that is me. I have this thing about being late Sorry for the confusion!

I'm not sure whether that was the earliest ps time.
When I called to ask, the cm offered me 6.30, I explained that this was too late, and she asked what time I would like to eat.
I said around 5, and she offered me 5.30, which I was happy with. My biggest worry was missing some of the party. I want the advantage of being in there that little bit early, so as we can get in the que for the photos.
Theres 2 adults, and 1 infant in our party.

Kathy - You've got me thinking now, "what if "
I be absolutely gutted if ( after all this planning ) I was late because I'd missed the ferry or something.
Its my birthday too, so I don't want any hiccups

When I made by PS back when I bought the MVMCP tickets, they told me the 5:35 was the earliest PS they would take. I had wanted 5pm also - the CM said the first available on her system was 5:35... not sure now that it's within 60 days if that is still the case.. but she implied that they would "close" the restaurant early to get ready for the MVMCP PS's.

She also told me that my PS and MVMCP ticket would get me into the park without any other admission...so hopefully, we will find that this is true as well.
