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. If you are arriving to Magic Kingdom around 7 p.m., you’ll be able to check in and get your wristband as you enter the park. 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.
Disney Merriest After Hours Ticket Holders have purchased tickets with "their money" for the party; if you do not have a ticket/wristband make your way to exit the gates by 8pm.
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.
