Hi everyone! I noticed that tickets are sold separately for this event. Does this mean that you're not allowed to participate without this additional ticket or are you forced to leave the park at a certain time before everything starts?
On MNSSHP nights, MK closes early. You do need to purchase a ticket to get back in and you get (I'm pretty sure) an arm band to wear during the "party." It's well worth the cost. We walked onto all rides last year, with no wait at all.
You don't actually have to leave the park, around 5:30 or so you can get your wristband for the event. We got ours before going into LTT for dinner, this way when we were done eating we jumped right on to BTM.
The party is fantastic, lots of trick or treating areas for the kids, storytelling, facepainting, characters dressed up for halloween and the whole park is open. We were there on Halloween and is one of our favorite memories from MK.
The MVMCP was also a blast, did that one in 2003 and are going for Thanksgiving this year.
