What time do you have to leave MK on a MNSSHP night?

[LMHB]

Going in late Sept, the night we want to go to MK is a MNSSHP, we do not want attend that. If we get there early and ride what we want to during the day, what time will we have to leave? What time do partygoers start entering the park, and do you think that MK will be busier on a party day, the morning of that party? Thank you!

Party guests will begin entering at 3:45 and crowds will quickly grow. You are welcome to stay in the part until 6:00. If you are in line for an attraction by 5:59 you may stay in the line and ride the attraction but you will need to leave the park as soon as you exit the ride. Starting at 6:00 non-party guests are no longer permitted to enter lines, stores or purchase food.

6pm.

MK is the most expensive park so when parties are planned and it causes the hours to be cut short most individual ticket holders avoid this park and crowds are reduced. Don’t get me wrong it’s still has people there just nowhere near as many on a day when MK is running at its normal schedule.

As @scrappinginontario mentioned people with party tickets are allowed in early and start trickling in around 3:45 pm adding to the people count. By this time you should have been able to knock at a lot though with the diminished crowds especially if you are able to take advantage of early entry.

Last year we rope dropped MK on party days. If you can take advantage of rope drop, especially if you are staying on property, you can get a lot done. Some party guests have day tickets too so we noticed guests start to come in around 2ish and crowds continue to build, but a huge jump at 4 when the party gates open for those that have just party tickets.

Our plan is to tour til 4 then have dinner at DH when the crowds rush in and hop to Epcot after dinner.

How late can you make a dinner reservation?

They may let you make one up until about 5:45pm, however you will be walked out of the park by a CM once you are finished with dinner if you do not have a party ticket. And you go right out, no lingering, they mean business!

That's my plan. It makes sense. I tend to be a morning person, so rope drop is OK, and then I'd probably be tired out and ready to leave by 2:00 (don't have the stamina I used to).

Note, go to the bathroom before 6 pm, you likely won't be allowed in one after that.

Seriously??? I don’t recall anyone policing the bathrooms.

Yes, they definitely do. There were problems with people hanging out in them and then attending the party without purchasing a tickets. There are restrooms outside the gate for guests to use as soon as they leave the park.

 

[Isthisnormalatdisney]

They are really annoying about it and make you go round about ways to get out of the park. The path they make you go could take double the time as the one you would normally take.

 

[HopperFan]

Yup, seen it many times. No wristband they will stop you and tell you to use the restrooms outside the front gate. They have seen it all, guests hiding in bathrooms until they can sneak out and hopefully make it to parade time.

If it is 6 pm, you should not be in bathrooms, stores or quick serve locations. And after TS they should be walking you to the gate. People are always trying to stay for free.

lol, if someone needs to go to the bathroom they should go to the bathroom. Not hold it in while slowly being pushed towards the front which takes a lot longer because of the small specific routes they make you go.

No disney parade is worth hiding in a toilet stall for nearly two hours in secrecy. There might have been one vblogger who did it but it’s not widespread.

these are people who already paid to get access to magic kingdom, not some random joe off the streets.

 

[elvispursley]

Wow!! People are just terrible and I guess this is why we can’t have nice things (or bathroom access)!

I’ve definitely seen people ushered out of the park and have seen CMs checking party wristbands as you’re walking around.

They paid for park usage until 6 pm. No later. They no longer have access to anything at that point. They DID NOT pay to be in the park or using the offerings past 6 pm.

And yet on every single other day the stores and stuff stays open after park close………. I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not telling people they can’t even access the bathroom is a bit ridiculous.

They can enter a ride line right before 6pm right? Does everyone that is in line at 6pm has to just leave line and make their way directly to the exit? If someone is on splash mountain at 6:00pm should they just get off the log flume and take the emergency exit since according to you they cannot use any offerings after 6pm?

Your take is hopefully sarcastic

Have you been there after 6PM? The exit route is not as you describe, it’s the regular route down Main Street, non-party guests just cannot access stores, QS or restrooms. At 6PM the park is closed to non-party guests.

Not sarcastic. Realistic.

Guests in lines for attractions by 5:59 may ride but then must leave the parks. There restrooms 100’ beyond the ones on Main Street so not far. CMs have far better things to do then spend hours checking for freeloaders. It’s easiest and best just to get all non-party guests to leave the park.

If someone wants to be in the MK after 6PM on a party day there is a simple answer - buy a party ticket. Party guests have paid to experience the party and deserve to not have others freeloading on their party time!

They can also allow one to use the restroom if they were in the back of the park.
I know they don't want people staying but that could cause an issue if a restroom is not used at their current location in the park.
It is not as easy to drive up in an ECV or walk to the exits when there are tons of people.

If a CM says something to me I would explain that it can't wait and would offer my CC or DL for them to hold so that they know I am not trying to stay for free but really need to use the facilities.
