MNSHHP - Non-ticket holders attending?

[BigRedDad]

I have read on a few other boards that Cast Members and Disney Employees in general are not doing anything to remove guests from the MNSSHP if they don't have a ticket. I am hoping this is a just a few bad apples. However, from the places I have read, this is not the case.

Has anyone that has been there this year experience this?
What was done by Disney employees to remove them from the park?

I attended the party on the 21st this month, and we definitely saw people being herded out. We were also required to show our wristbands for anything we wanted to do. It was really quiet too, I didn't notice any problems.

Every year we have gone, you are required to get a wrist band. The only way to get a wrist band is to present your ticket to the wrist band cast members. When the party starts if you do not have a wrist band, you cannot even spend your money in the park, or even stand around.
Cast members do herd the non wrist band people out. So if you want to go to the party, best have a ticket, to get a band, or be escorted to the front gate.

We were at the party on the 23rd, and witnessed a family being escorted out around 9:30pm. We were walking by Crystal Palace and the father was explaining to his kids why they had to leave. They were also herding them out of tomorrowland and out to the left around 7 or so.

Not at MNSSHP but at MVMCP a few years ago it was cool at night so we had jackets on over our wristbands. As we left Pirates a cast member came up and very politely asked if we had wrist bands. When we presented them he again very politely thanked us. He then stopped and talked with us for a minute asking where we were from, were we enjoying ourselves, and please have some hot cocoa and cookies. So they do check.

Yeah that has happened to me as well. They are always usually nice about it.

One night we were leaving at around 7:00 on a party night and couldn't even get into the stores. They had a Cast Member at every store entrance checking wristbands. I thought this was great becasue we were attending a party a few nights later and it was reassurance to us regarding the crowd control.

Hopefully the bad experiences I have been reading about were maybe early night jitters from the first few parties.

I'm sure perception plays a big part in reports like the ones you were reading. Just because you don't see someone being asked to go doesn't mean it isn't happening. In my experiences Cast Members are very polite and discreet while checking, so unless you're unfortunate enough to be near a belligerent guest it isn't very obvious.
