When you purchase a ticket for the P&PP, that is all you need. For example, on the day of our P&PP, we went to Animal Kingdom that morning. After an early dinner we headed over to the Magic Kingdom, walked right up to the ticket booth, bought our tickets and walked right in.
The ticket is all you need - no other park admission and you don't have to be at Magic Kingdom that day.
Also - a pp asked about the time of the fireworks, and I want to say our parade was at 8:45 and the fireworks were somewhere between 9:30 and 10:00? I remember by the time we got back to the room and got the kids to bed it was 11:00. My kids are young - 2.5 and almost 5. We had them take late naps that day. They definitely were tired by the time the parade came by, but it perked them right up. Make sure you don't plan an early morning the next day.
Have a great time!
