Yay, so glad it worked!

I totally see Winnie the Pooh and it definitely looks like a "cooler" version for the August weather!

I showed the pic to DD19 and told her that would be what Disney bounding looked like and right away she recognized it's Winnie the Pooh! One Disney bounding success score! :thumbsup2
 
Hey, there. My husband and grown daughter and I will be visiting Orlando for our first time in October. We were aware of Halloween celebrations, but had no idea that a separate ticket must be purchased. We pre-bought regular tickets when we made our room reservations.

Right now we're trying to decide:

1) Is it worth spending an extra $300 for five hours' worth of party?
2) Are regular Magic Kingdom tickets normally discounted during party days? As I understand it, if we choose not to buy the party tickets, we will be required to leave MK at 7PM instead of staying until closing.
 
Hi Corbie,
I'm going to move you to the main Theme Parks board where there are 2 threads on MNSSHP.

I'll try to Merge you into the main MNSSHP thread where there are a lot of experts who can answer your questions. :)
 
Thanks! I had found that thread and then couldn't find it again when I wanted to ask my question! I appreciate it.
 
1) Is it worth spending an extra $300 for five hours' worth of party?
2) Are regular Magic Kingdom tickets normally discounted during party days? As I understand it, if we choose not to buy the party tickets, we will be required to leave MK at 7PM instead of staying until closing.

1) Only you can decide that for yourself....but I think most people on this thread would say YES! totally worth it
2) Regular MK tickets are not discounted on party days and yes, without a party ticket you will be required to leave by 7pm

1. You can enter MK starting at 4pm with a party ticket. That gives you 8ish hours in the park.
2. No, regular entry tickets are regular price, no discount. Closing time for regular tickets is 7pm on party days. The crowd is swept for those without party credentials.
 
It is a bit of a shock to a noob to find out that our full day tickets aren't for the entire day! I did a bit of hunting last night and saw that other parks do the same thing. Are the Christmas parties also special tickets? I had no idea!

Yes, Christmas party is also a hard ticket event.

If your park tickets are hoppers, you can go the Magic Kingdom for most of the day, then go to a different park that evening, therefore you miss no park time. If they're not hoppers, you can go to a different park on MNSSHP days and avoid the Magic Kingdom.

When planning future fall trips, you might want to avoid paying for a park ticket for one day of your trip (say you have 6 days to tour, you only buy a 5 day pass, for instance) and then get MNSSHP tickets for the day you don't plan to use your park tickets. As has been noted, you can get in at 4:00 PM and therefore get 8 hours of fun in, which makes more economic sense, as you also save the cost of an extra park day.

A party ticket costs a lot more than adding a day to a 5 day ticket. Currently, a 6 day ticket costs $20 more than a 5 day.
 
Okay, so we just added a day to our trip as the difference in flight prices more than made up for an extra night's stay (love Disney math!). So now I'm wondering if we should add a second party...realizing, of course, that would totally negate any savings....but it IS a discounted night.... :rolleyes1
