Are these automatically given or do you have to go and ask for them? I've never done the game.

You must go and request them. Usually there is a CM standing in the area in front of Fire Station in front of park to the left as you enter park. they will ask to see your wristband and mark it when they give you the card. One per person.
I have heard they also give them out up in area around Hall of Presidents near Christmas shop.

This is fantastic news!! We only have party tickets, no park tickets - getting in 2 hours earlier is a huge bonus for us as this is our first time to MK (last year we did Epcot), coming from the west coast. Glad to have the extra time to get the 'lay of the land' as it were!!!!!

I believe they stopped doing that years ago? Pretty sure.

RE: DVC announcement

I wonder how that will work for the FP now.

I'm not concerned with FP's as I am with Character Lines. This could really back things up if they allow guests to start forming lines even earlier, the potential is not good, not at all!

FP is still limited to 3 pre booked, then 4th, 5th etc will be based on availability that day. Nope! Can't say I'm worried about that!

After reading that DVC members can enter the party at 2pm, I wished that AP holders would get the same benefit. However, then I realized that AP holders don't need that benefit, since they can enter the park at any time of day! Lol

 

[NotTheBatesMotel]

I can finally join the thread instead of just lurking! I just booked our end of Sep/very beginning of Oct trip. I’m a Halloween fanatic and have never been to MNSSHP. Needless to say, I can’t wait!

Do you know if this is for all DVC or direct purchase only?

 

[Best Aunt]

Do you know if this is for all DVC or direct purchase only?

Good question. I personally have not been told either way yet (re whether DVC resale buyers can enter the park early or if this is a direct buyers perk). If I get more info I will post it.

 

[Haley R]

I guess since we went ahead and booked extra tickets we will try to be at the mk early. I don’t enjoy the idea of standing in line even longer for characters though (if they let lines form that early)

 

[PolyRob]

Do you know if this is for all DVC or direct purchase only?

I would assume it is a member benefit requiring a blue card so those grandfathered in with older resale contracts, the 25 direct points from 2016 - 2017 and now the 75 direct points.

I can't remember, can you get the normal pack of cards in the 4-7 window in addition to the Halloween card afterwards? I wanted to say we've done both but can't remember

 

[Mambo Junkie]

If we are unable to get a fast pass for the party (the couple of hours before the official party starts, are we able to get SDFP with a party only ticket?
Also, if the characters come out prior to 7 PM does that mean anyone, whether party goer or not, can get in line to do the meet and greet?
Normally, DH and I go without children, so this time it's all about the characters. We want to see the fireworks and parade, but the priority is the M&Gs.

 

[GinnyBear's_mom]

Since this is considered "Membership Magic/Membership Extra" it looks like it will be a blue DVC card holder event only.

 

[Dean1953]

If you show up at 2 and enter using your Party ticket, does that mean that the area behind Main Street also opens at 2, or will the DVC members that enter at 2 be required to get their bags and initial treat bag at 4 at one of various locations? Also, will exclusive MNSSHP merchandise be available for purchase at 2?

So you just show them the Blue DVC card and they let you in? How would they identify that with getting FP at the 60 day mark?

I am not sure the FP+ system will recognize the DVC affiliation and allow earlier FP+ booked at 60 days out for a member and his/her guest, but if you are on a resort reservation you should still be able to make the FP+ selections for the regular window prior to the party time mentioned in the thread.

I am just saying I believe Disney will only allow members with direct points or those grandfathered with a blue card to utilize this so it can advertise this as another "non-guaranteed" benefit to persuade guests to purchase or add-on direct rather than go resale. I assume you would show them your blue membership card with photo ID and you will be granted access similar to picking up DVC priced tickets at a window or checking-in to a moonlight magic event.

Nope. Historically, CMs go through the M&G queue and verify everyone has party credentials.
