Visiting MK on a Party day, at what time...

[jeanico2000]

From experience, can someone please tell me until what time we can queue up for rides on a day when the MK closes at 7:00 PM for Mickey's Christmas Party, if all non-party guests have to leave the premises prior to the party's starting time?
Thank you!

From experience reading many, many other's experiences: 6:59p. If that were not the case I would make a stop at Guest Relations on the way out.

They don't clear the park before party time. So you can ride up to 7:00. We were there last year on a party day and the lines for BTMR and Splash Mnt were walk-ons around 6:00. It was great!

As the PP said, non-party guests will be allowed to remain in the park until 7:00 pm. Starting at 7:00 pm, CMs will be checking for wristbands and if you don't have one, you will not be able to enter ride lines or shops and you will be politely asked to head towards Main Street and the park exit. You'll probably start to see CMs with the MVMCP signs around 6:30 pm, but the won't actively check for bands until 7:00 pm.

Great! I wanted to know the answer to that question, too.

So what happens if you get in line at 6:50, and there's a 30 minute wait, so you don't get to the ride until after 7 pm? Will they be checking for bands at the ride itself, or only at the entrance to the ride? Doesn't matter to me as we are going to the party while we're there, but just interested to know.

As long as you are in line before 7, you get to ride. Even if the line is an hour long.
