Touring Magic Kingdom on a MNSSHP Day

[theone74733]

Hello.

Our family has decided to do Magic Kingdom on a day when the park closes at 7 pm for Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party. I had the following questions since we will just go there for Magic Kingdom and not do MNSSHP.

1. How do the cast members get everyone that doesn't have a special event ticket out of the park? Is there an announcement that goes off at 7 pm that people that don't have a ticket for MNSSHP have to leave the park or do they clear the entire park & all rides before the Halloween party?
2. What is the latest you can queue for a ride before having to leave the park at 7 pm.

Thanks

Everyone in for the MNSSHP needs to have a wrist band on for the party so anyone without one, they nicely tell you to get your wristband or time to exit. They are more aggressive than any other closing but not pushy, there will be cast members everywhere helping you find the exit, including the cms that queue the ride.

You can get into a line right at 7 and ride the ride. From another thread here, it sounds like they might be planning something different for the long queue lines but general disney policy is if your in line when it closes, you ride first and that is for any closing time.

Once it gets to 7pm unless you have a wrist band you can't get in to food places either and you are pointed towards the exit. We quiet like going on MNSSHP day as you get to see lots of people coming in wearing a variety of costumes.

As far as getting in line just before 7, if you are going to do that you might need to already be in the area. Last year, just after 6:45, we encountered a line of CMs that was not letting people without wristbands deeper into the park. They were advising that the park was closing in just over 10 minutes and people needed to start making their way towards the front. We had wristbands so it was fine for us, but anyone without them was not going that direction. Can't remember exactly where they were.

There will be announcements starting, I think, about 6:45. Once 7:00 hits you can't enter any attraction, store, restaurant, or even a bathroom unless you have a party wristband on. CMs will politely point you to the exit. After 7:00 the CMs will be increasingly firm about herding non party guests out of the park. To the point of escorting you out if you seem reluctant to leave or are obviously trying to stay without paying.
