Yes, but they don't start setting up/handing out bracelets until 3 pm. The CM's for party check-in will be stationed near one of the entrances (as I recall, they were set up at the main entrance to DCA and the entrance from the GC - not sure about Pixar Place entrance). It is a separate, small queue right after you enter the park. They will scan your OBB ticket and then they will give you your wristband, treat bag, and event map.
Gosh darn…looks like I missed it again !
Guess I’ll just have to go at Christmas after all.
We've been to MNSSHP 3x. First time we did the T-shirt costume thing and were in awe of how elaborate a lot of people got so the next time we stepped it up and made some Haunted Mansion character costumes. The last time we went, a couple of years ago, our adult DS went with us and we each picked a different villain. We went in Sept. and I was Cruella and although I was absolutely MELTING I loved my costume. DH was Captain Hook and he was also melting in that heavy coat & long wig. DS picked Bowler Hat Guy from Meet the Robinsons and although his cape was wool he was probably in the lightest costume of all of us. LOL
DH wants to re-use our Haunted Mansion costumes for our Oogie Boogie night so I gotta pick my battles. I have sadly outgrown the skirt portion of my costume so am having to replace that. Last time I made the skirt by making a stencil & I hand painted all those tedious flowers but this time I may cop-out and just buy a cosplay skirt rather than make it. Is that considered cheating??? Believe it or not, painting that skirt was a LOT of work. 
My neighbor sews and she helped me make the rest of the costume with the shoulder cape & corset top & pink puffy sleeves. I can still re-use all of that. I also hot glued lace around the parasol. That only fits in our big duffle tho so I guess I know which bag I'm packing. 
Not considered cheating at all. I’m sure most of my costume will come from Etsy whatever I end up deciding upon. Last year for MNSSHP we went as the Three Caballeros. The guys want to do that again because it was t-shirts. But, I want to step it up a notch.We've been to MNSSHP 3x.

I kinda wanted to come up with a new idea but financially it makes sense to just re-use something we did in like 2017 or whatever it was. There was just something fun about the homemade skirt with the flowers being a little imperfect but I can buy a cosplay skirt for the same price and save myself like 20 hours of work! LOL
That sounds very intricate! I’m crafty but, not above supporting Etsy sellers. Have gotten some cool disney park sort of tshirts
Based on the last 5 years, I don’t think they have ever released more tickets for OBB at a later time. In the past (but not last year), there have been very, very limited day-of tickets at the onsite resort hotels for their guests. We had to do this in 2022 because we had to make a last minute change from WDW to DL, so we didn’t have OBB tickets. We stayed at the DLH, and I asked about the same-day option at check in (they did not volunteer the information). They said all 3 resorts share a small number of tickets, and I had to be down at the front desk with my room key at 5am the day of the OBB. I was there around 445am and they verified my room key, and I was a few families back in the line. Right at 5am, they started calling each family up to purchase tickets, in order. We got tickets but not all families did. I think there were about 15-20 families at the DLH that morning, some didn’t get tickets.
That's cute - we missed that magic shot!That sounds very intricate! I’m crafty but, not above supporting Etsy sellers. Have gotten some cool disney park sort of tshirts
We used to do full blown pirate costumes, mickey/minnie costumes etc. for MNSSHP. lost its allure as just too humid in Orlando. I feel bad for the little kids who look as tho they are melting.
Last time we were in DL in early October several years ago, they had a heat wave that nearly rivaled Orlando’s weather. Hoping for more moderate temps late August this year
The year our date was cancelled by hurricane, I had ordered a tablecloth from amazon and made an easy paper bag skirt, no pattern needed. It finally saw light of day at last year’s party.
Did buy a poufy black crinoline & had an intricate black lace blouse. Neither made the cut as just too hot that night. Never mind the shoes in the pic, realized the black ballet ones i packed didn’t have enough support to get me through the night.
Repurposed ears & a tshirt the mr wore in the past rounded it all out. That said, looking forward to seeing some west coast style at the parties this year!

Oooh need to look for that seller!
Unless you want the seats and desserts the package isn’t really necessary to view the parade.
