Do I need a wristband? What if I want to stay without one?Yes, a wristband is included in the cost of admission. All ticket holders for this event will be required to wear a wristband.

You may pick-up your wristband and map of the party at designated locations in the MK.
Once the party begins at 9pm, Cast Members begin looking for those who do not have wristbands to exit the park.

As discussed on another thread, there are different color wristbands, so NO Double Dipping to attend another party. Oh, my! I'm already in the park.
