That's alright. I just sent you a pm. Thanks so much!

I forgot to mention, shirts were $28 and pins $10.50.

AP pins can be purchased at the emporium.
They have a picture, and will send it to you in 2 weeks I think the guy said.

I just called to try and add my sister in laws family to our priority seating. We have one for LTT on Oct 12 at 4:30 for MNSSHP. The CM told me that you cannot get in with your ticket for the party until 6:30. She said the only way you can get in earlier is if you already are in the park with park admission. I asked her is she was sure and she said she would check with guest services. She then got back on the phone and said that this is the case. I cannot get in with my ticket until 6:30. Is this true? Should I cancel my PS for LTT. I don't want to use park admission to eat dinner.

We just got back and went to MNSSHP on the 1st. We also got mixed messages, and the official line is that it's at 6:30. But after having our resort call MK, they were told 4pm was ok, and we had NO problem getting in with only our MNSSHP tickets at 4pm. I've heard this was the same on 10/3, and I can't imagine them changing the policy for other nights. I don't think you'll have a problem at all - I think some of the CM's just don't know.

Does anyone know what time the Carousel of Progress would stop running on party nights? I noticed from Baloo's first report that it was open during the party in 2003. Then I looked at the program that someone posted for this year, and it wasn't listed. If it's not open during the party, would it still run from 6 - 7 when we are hanging out in Tomorrowland? Or, would we need to catch it between 4 and 6? Thanks for any info...

CoP was not open during the day at MK at all when we were there.

 

[Dznefreek]

It was open during the day on 10/1/04 but not at night.

Jennirella,
I posted this at the beginning of the thread back when I purchased my tickets months ago; I hope it helps.

"While ordering another MNSSHP ticket two nights ago, I asked the CM what the official policy was regarding entering MK before 7pm on MNSSHP nights with only the party ticket. My in-laws are joining my family on the 26th for the MNSSHP and dinner at LTT at 5:30. They have purchased the party tickets, but do not want to use a park hopper that day just to go to dinner at 5:30. After reading many postings on this board about being allowed in as early as 4pm with the party ticket on previous years, I wanted to get the official policy that will be used by CMs this year. (I don't think having my in-laws wait for an hour and half outside the gates, while we eat dinner, will help family relations.

So, after waiting for close to 15 minutes on hold, the CM told me that she spoke with her boss, who verfied that MNSSHP ticket holders will be allowed into MK starting at 4pm on the night of their party. I was relieved to get this straight from Disney, as I was picturing my in-laws being turned away at the gate and told to return at 7pm.

Excellent deal in my opinion: 8 hours in the park, plus all of the party perks for $30+"

 

[jennirella]

Thank you guys for your replies. I feel better now. The CM made me a little nervous. Well we only have 3 days to go. Can't wait. Thank you all again.

 

[poohangel]

Only 15 days to go. Wish I was there already

10 days - yahoo

I don't think you'll have too much trouble with openings - it seems like they're selling as many tickets as they can this year. We just returned (went on the 3rd) and it was MUCH more crowded than last year. It was actually more crowded that night than the normal park was on Saturday. I think word is getting around about the party. They also did not have Cinderella's coach on display this year. There were a few other things that made it not as magical as last year for us. It's definitely worth going to once if you've never been, but we decided twice was enough for us.

My DS (5) and I are going on Halloween night.... I can't WAIT to see his face when he sees the characters dressed up too. I understand that Halloween night is crowded.... we have dinner ressies at Crystal Palace at 5:15... will we have to leave and return?

Nothing earth shattering to say here, but thanks to everyone for all the great info. I'm about to get tickets for 10/20 on my first trip to WDW and after finding Disboards.com I'm reaching a fever pitch of excitement for my upcoming trip and driving my wife nuts with updates.

One thing I've seen conflicting information on, however, is what time the park closes after the MNSSHPC event.

Cheers,
Brian

A friend of mine is going to WDW for Halloween. She booked in early summer. At that time the CM told her to wait till amonth before to buy her tickets for MNSSHP. Well of course they are sold out! (Did she ask me about it....no! But now she asked if I knew a way to still get tickets. ) Is there any way? Do the hotels have a few on the side for guests? Just wondering if anyone knew anything.

On 26th October, we are planning to go to MK around 1pm and stay for MNSSHP. Will we be able to beat the lines and pick up wristbands and trick or treat bags when we first go in?

I have bought my tickets over the phone and need to collect them there - do I go to Guest Services with my reservation number? - can't remember what they said - bought them some time ago.

They don't start giving out the wristbands until 4:00p...so you'll have to find a CM to exchange your tickets for wristbands. They'll be out and about in various places.

I wish her luck. My girlfriend last year waited (as I insisted she get on this early!) and had no tickets. I even asked at Boardwalk thinking maybe a DVC resort might "holdback" some tickets, but we were unsuccessful. She watched E-Bay, but couldn't justify the price. Your best bet is to watch for someone maybe here that can't go at the last minute. Best wishes as I hope she gets her tickets. According the the WDW website, the 29th is still available. That's our night!!!

The rides and trick-or-treat close at midnight but the stores on Main Street were still open as folks filed out.

No, you can start getting into the MK with your party pass around 4 PM so when your dinner is over the party goers will already be arriving.
