MNSSHP Question

[SEC]

If we are at Magic Kingdom, do we have to leave the park and re-enter to attend MNSSHP? Or can you pick up at wristband at city hall after 3 p.m.?

Don't leave! We didn't know any better last year for the Xmas party--didn't know about DIS!! At least we know for this year's MNSSHP! There will be places --not sure where-- to get wristbands during the afternoon. They will put everyone with them in Tomorrowland while they clear everyone else out of the park and decorate.

On 9/30 they put us in Adventureland, not Tomorrowland and there was no food, except for Dole Whips.

You don't have to leave at all. The people who don't have wristbands stayed until 6:00 but I saw someone turned away from a ride for no wristband. I saw a few lines for the wristbands.

If there was no eating, what did everyone do for that hour?

 

[Nank]

Nothing. Some people went on Aladdin's magic Carpet. Not sure if Pirates was open. We just stood around and waited. Some people actually started forming the trick or treat lines. We went up the Swiss Family Tree House. Others got in line for their free picture.

Our experience on the 30th is ditto what Nank said except Pirates WAS open... we just didn't realize it for awhile. We sat for awhile but noticed everyone was going towards the pirates area -so we went to find out what they were doing. Some were lined up for photos, some for candy even though they weren't handing it out yet- and then found out pirates was open so we rode that.

As for the wristbands- I don't know if they actually checked for them before riding rides. I had mine one and so did my kids- but my kids had them on UNDER their costumes (my kids were Stitch and Power RAngers- both with costumes that covered their wrists and hands) and no one questioned it. I suppose they probably assumed they had them since they were with me and I had a wristband on? But can't be certain... I never saw anyone visibly checking or looking for wristbands on any of the rides. If they did so, they did it very on the sly where you couldn't tell they were looking for them. LOL Also I didn't see anyone getting on the rides without a wristband... except for kids like my own that presumably also had them on under their costumes.

We did ours in the Hall of Presidents. They also had one in Tomorrowland (where the characters have meet and greet) and I think there was one other station. I'll have to finish unpacking and find my park map from that night. We rode rides in Fantasy land until they closed down (walk on to everything!) and then did HM, picture, lined up for parade and snacked while we waited for it to start. The parade is VERY cool. We're still walking around singing "Boo to you and you"
