Does anyone know when MNSSHP starts? I've never been before. Does it start at 7pm like MVMCP? I'm looking to make dinner reservations and want to know what time to make them for so that I'm out in time for when MNSSHP starts.
Kyle---believe it started at 7:00, though you were allowed into the park after 5:00 with only the MNSSHP ticket. Don't recall the exact timing, but around 6:00 the park CMs started herding everyone into Adventureland while they cleared the rest of the park. MNSSHP guests were given wristbands (to identify) and bags (for candy). We did 7:15 dinner at Tony's and walked straight out to catch the end of the first parade right at the end of Main Street. Parade started at 8:00 at the normal location over by Pirates, but the head didn't get to the "end" of the route for another 20 minutes at least. The HalloWishes fireworks were at 9:00 (and were fantastic) plus I believe there was another parade at 10:00.
We skipped the second parade to hit the candy lines for the kids, who were pretty wiped out. Ride lines were effectively nonexistent.
The earliest you can make a dinner ressie is 4:00 (and it's usually 4:05). Liberty Tree gets booked up very quickly but we like Crystal Palace and can't wait to go back there.
The party actually starts at 7:00 as noted above but you can get into MK with your MNSSHP ticket after 4 pm
Last October we were able to go into MK just a little after 3pm with our MNSSHP tickets. We had our AP's out and ready to go when we noticed the turnstiles on the far left had CM's waiting inside w/wristbands and treat bags. So we quickly put the AP's away and grabbed the event tickets instead. Piece of cake!
