So what if you are already at MK on your regular park ticket can you stay after 7pm to watch the parade but not ride any rides or do they some how have regular park ticket holders leave at park close time?
You didn't say anything wrong, it is just that conversations can get heated fast here on the DIS and a poster asking a similar question sparked a large debate.
The official MK hours for the dates when MNSSHP/
MVMCP run are from 9am to 7pm. At 7pm regular guests will be asked to exit the park. Cast Members will line the entrances to the lands, as well as form a line down the middle of Main Street. They will check for wristbands and guests without them will not be admitted into the lands (from the hub etc.) and will be asked to proceed to the exit.
As the parade starts at 8:30, there really isn't a legitimate reason for a day guest to still be in the park when it begins.
I would recommend avoiding the MK on a MNSSHP/MVMCP day, unless you have hoppers and then I would recomm3end leaving mid-afternoon.
No worries! Some people get very upset at the thought of anyone getting anything for free. If you have hoppers you might just want to go elsewhere after 7 PM or avoid the MK on the days they have these parties. That's what we will always do since we have no interest in these parties.
Of course they do! People attending the parties pay $50-60pp for the parade, fireworks, shows, lowered crowd levels, special merchandise, trick or treating/hot chocolate and the special/rare character meet & greets.
It is unfair to the party guests, who are paying for the privledges, if regular guests are permitted to stay and watch the parades and fireworks. That is half the point of going!
...contrary to past practice.
