How do I know when I can get in to MK with my MNSSHP ticket????

We are going to MNSSHP for the first time this year. We have planned this trip very last minute and we only going for a few days because we don't want to pull the kids out of school for very many extra days during their fall break. Now with that said, we aren't getting park hopper tickets. Our plan is to go to AK during the day and go to MK and MNSSHP during the evening. I asked the CM that I ordered our tickets from when we could get into MK and she told me that no one is allowed into MK before 7:00 pm if they are only using their MNSSHP tickets. But now I'm reading on a lot of different post that you will be allowed in at 4:00 pm using your MNSSHP ticket. How do I find out for sure? If we can get in earlier then we'd like to make dining reservations for somewhere in MK around 4:30 pm so we can have dinner done and already be in the park before the party starts. We have already gotten our tickets and they say 7:00 . I don't want to get to the park at 4:00 just to be told that we have to wait another 3 hours.

Disney announced that all hard tickets are valid starting at 4:00 pm the day they are printed for.

Beginning at 4:00 p.m., Guests already inside the Theme Park who have purchased admission for the "hard ticket event" for that day may return to the Main Entrance to have their hard ticket event admission swiped.

Although this was directly writen with regard to Guests inside the park, the fact that admision can be swipped at that time also means that Guests only with the party ticket can get their ticket swiped and enter the park.

In addition, to this announcment for this year, many Guests have been able to enter at 4:00 pm in recent year's past.

I can't tell you 100% for sure BUT, we entered at 4 on our MNSSHP tickets. We got our wirst bands and went on our way to Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner at 4:30.

Good luck and have fun!!

We entered for the Pirate and Princess Party 2 weeks ago at 4:00pm. They had the red carpet rolled out and treasure bags ready to hand out at that time. They had one side of the MK entrance dedicated for people who were entering only with the Pirate and Princess party tickets. I would say that 4:00 would be a pretty safe bet! Have a blast!

Everybody has been about right. I did MNSSHP last year and was there at about 4:15 or so and they did indeed honor the tickets. We had been in another park that day. If you are going in for dinner (like we did) it works really well since the party iself won't start until later.
But, Liberty tree will be decked out and the staff will be dressed in halloween costumes as well as the Characters. So it is a perfect setup for the evening!

Enjoy!
