MNSSHP and Lightning Lane

[TheBigErn]

Are LL or PLL available during MNSSHP? If not, are they available in the 4pm-7pm window when holders of MNSSHP tickets can enter before the party actually starts?

Do you mean LLSP and/or LLMP the answer is No during the party. Yes they are available until 6 PM when the park officially closes for the day.

“You cannot use a Disney party pass alone to access Lightning Lane, as you must also have valid theme park admission and a reservation for the same date.”

You may logically think this true but since an update to MDE last fall it has worked for many guests.

Also a park reservation is only for required for AP or select non-dated tickets, and a MNSSHP is a ticket for a specific date.

Thanks for the heads up. I don’t consider them to be an official source of information, but Plan Disney was reporting that this wouldn’t work as recently as 8 days ago.

I can confirm I was able to buy individual lightening lanes with just a MNSSHP ticket last Tuesday. Had to select times between 4-6 but it worked. It was a great way to spend those two overlap hours

Plan Disney is the absolute worst for anything factual. They shouldn't exist, because they give out such bad information so often.

I agree. They take guessing and making up stuff to a whole new level.

This is a separately ticketed event. Chances are you won’t need Lightning Lane as regular guests won’t be there after 6pm.

I know that it's a ticketed event. We have tickets. My question was whether they are available during the event or in that time from 4pm to 7pm

Not after park closing.

Just to clarify.. could you pick a window from 5:30-6:30? Or does the window have to end at 6pm.

All lightning lanes end at official park close (6:00).

It worked for me this morning! Booked Tron, 7Dwarves, Peter Pan, Small World, and Little Mermaid. I’m an AP, but the rest of my group have 3-day park hoppers and the MNSSHP ticket. I actually had to call because it pulled a regular ticket instead of the party ticket. When I tried to book our third day it stated the limit had been reached for the rest of my party. The CM apologized, said I could absolutely make LL selections for the 4-6 range with only a party ticket, and fixed everything for me so I could book the other three days. I had fully expected him to tell me the rules had changed and was prepared to just cancel all the pre-party plans.

Yet another positive use of a MNSSHP ticket for booking LLMP and/or LLSP without any issues. Thanks for the confirmation yet again.

I'm wondering if we will need them on a party day? I thought the crowds were very light on those days...I'm hoping the lines during the party aren't too bad. We went many years ago and it was very crowded! Much longer lines than we were used to.

Crowds do tend to be lighter on party days, but those 2 hours when party guests can enter and before day guests have to leave can get quite congested. We’ll get to knock out two of the rides that tend not to have walk-on access even during a party, and if the lines do drop to where we think it’s worth it to ride again, it’s a bonus. That’s worth it to us.

I think we will likely go to the park in the am, then back again for the party and hope for the best. I'd like to ONE DAY not to have to pay for LL!
