MNSSHP and FastPass+ Questions...

[Raelynie]

Good morning & happy Saturday friends!

I will be visiting the world Oct 22-26 and I have a few questions.

1. I will be there for 5 days but only have 4 days of park tickets, we also purchased Halloween Party tickets. We will be using the Halloween tickets the day we will not be visiting the park. I want to make sure if we show up early (I'm hoping around 5, we have a 3PM ADR) that if we use our magic bands it will use the party ticket and not a day of my park hopper. Should I use my hard plastic ticket vs my magic band?

2.I have heard that you can make FP+ reservations on party nights from about 4 until actual party start at 7, again will I be able to do this and then still be able to make FP+ for my other four days that I will be using my reg park hopper ticket?

3. The first day when we arrive we will be heading to DAK, our flight is sched to arrive at 9:52AM I was thinking for FP+ not to make a reservation prior to noon which would then give us to 1PM to use it, do you think I am allowing enough time or would you jump it to the 2PM window? Any recommendations would be great!

Thanks in advance for any help with these questions!

1) When they start allowing entrance to the MK on Party nights, they switch one side of the entrance over to Party-tickets only. Day guests are directed to the other side to enter the park after 4pm. So as long as you go to the ticket readers marked as Party Entrance, they'll use your Party ticket and not your MYW when you scan your Band.

2) Yes, having the Party ticket on your account will give you the ability to make FP+ on the day of the party starting at 4pm. You can make up to 3, but you may find that you have trouble making all three since they can't overlap. (Though if you only make two, you can always try to make an additional one after you've redeemed your first two)

3) I'd make your first FP+ no earlier than 1pm.

and FYI on the mnsshp night fp+ ... while you can make them it's only during normal park hours and not for the party. the party starts at 7, but the normal hours end at 6 so the last FP time [if still available] will be the slot 5:30-6 (yeah only 30 min window)
