Park Admission and MNSSHP ticket?

[figment27]

Hi,
We have 6 day PHP passes.
We are planning on purchasing tickets for MNSSHP for Oct. 12th.
Do we need to save one of our PHP days to use on the day we want to attend the party, or can we just use the MNSSHP tickets for admission into the MK at 7:00PM?
Also, MNSSHP is scheduled for Fri. Oct, 8th and Tues. Oct. 12th during our visit. My plan is to go on the Tues., which is the day prior to our departure.
Will Tuesday night be less crowded than Friday night?
I planned to go to a water park, rest and eat supper at the resort and then head over to the pary? (Water park on MNSSHP day if we DO NOT have to save a PHP day for admission to MK on party day)
Does this sound like a workable plan?
Our party consists of myself, a 12 y.o. boy and his "young" grandmother.
Thanks.

Tuesday will be less crowded than Friday because you won't get many locals (with it being a school night and all).

As for your ticket question... NO, you will not need to use your park hopper... You can gain access into Magic Kingdom anytime after 4pm with JUST the MNSSHP event ticket. If you choose to go in earlier than 4pm you would need to have a seperate ticket, but anytime after 4pm would be just the event ticket... They will issue you a wristband (showing that you are there for the party) and then at 6pm when the park closes they will send everyone with wristbands to wait in Tomorrowland (or Fantasyland...or both) where they will have rides open...once the park is cleared of day guests they will reopen everything else for you to enjoy during the party.

Does the same apply for MVMCP? Can you get into the park with your MVMCP ticket at 4:00 , eat and enjoy until 7:00?

Yes, they do the same thing at MVMCP

Yes, it sure does! We did it that way last year and plan to do it that way again this year.

Best wishes -

Will they take a PS for Cindy's or Crystal Palace at 5:30 or so, even though they "say" the park is closed. Thanks so much!

Yes, the park actually closes at 6pm for regular day guests on those nights.
