I'm not the resident expert on this, but from everything I have been reading on the boards, you will not need a day pass to get in. Apparently, even without a PS they let you into the park after 4:00 p.m. as long as you have a
MVMCP ticket. This alleviates everyone bottlenecking at 7:00 p.m. Right, everyone? If anyone has something to add, please do. I'm just stealing everyone else's info

BTW, I plan on being there 12/9 and I am going to go there about 4:30 p.m. and hope I get in, too.
