Thank you for posting! I was able to see the times posted for all the party dates on the main MNSSHP site and there are no changes not even for the sunsets!

I will admit, I was holding out that these hours would be different. I wonder how they will work with Dessert Parties!

I was just thinking the same thing......how will this work?!

Question, I've read to bring my physical party ticket to scan in so the system doesn't give us any issues (says we don't have them, uses a regular day at 4pm instead of the party ticket). However, I bought mine online through the Disney website....I didn't get a physical ticket. Is that something they'll mail to me? I'm a passholder who's never bothered with the parties before, sorry I'm so clueless!

You will have to go to the guest services window and show your AP card and they will give you a ticket, presumably you bought them with AP discount

Yep, same. That's why I've been obsessively checking the times for the parade. Guess I''ll find out August 17th, yay...

Optimistic, all will be fine...

If you assigned the MNSSHP tickets in MDE to actual guests when purchasing them, using the cards provided via mail or ticket window rather than your MagicBand does nothing different. The card accesses your MDE profile just like the band would. When entering after 4pm, you go through separate tapstiles programmed for the MNSSHP admission. They are not looking for regular park admission.

I beg to differ. It was reported by fellow DISer's that when they scanned their Magicband at the party entrance some had problems in 2017. Take a look see:

Things happen and Disney's system isn't perfect though I will agree the number of reports have deceased over the years but it still remains a problem. Should you feel impervious to it then by all means use your magicband. Until we reach a zero incident report I'll be scanning my party ticket and not my band!

The RFID card provided for MNSSHP is still connected to your same MDE profile and can be used for regular park admission in any park and is not locked in anyway to MNSSHP only. OP also stated she is a passholder so there should be no issue.

OK, I hate to say this ( ) but it may work as Disney having the last laugh on the whole dessert party/parade viewing topic, which haven’t we assumed all along could be a really tight timeframe?

Yup and thats why once again I would like to thank those brave people going to the first parties and reporting back to let us all know if you wasted your money and if we should all save ours.

Your words...

"When entering after 4pm, you go through separate tapstiles programmed for the MNSSHP admission. They are not looking for regular park admission."

"After a while, the cast members allowed the line to disperse across the various entrance tapstyles, so at that point we were first in our individual line."

And just because you're an AP holder doesn't mean you won't get a regular park day scanned instead of your party ticket.

Not here to start WWIII, but to tell everyone here that if they stay to the immediate right and scan their Magicband at the "special entrance" they will not have any issues whatsoever isn't true. How can anyone make that claim? To each their own. You can let people know there is a possibility something funky might happen but the final decision is up to them.

With these parade times confirmed, I would just like to reiterate my new parade philosophy: which is to see the first one.

I always used to advocate seeing the second parade, but now that it is that last hour of the party I just can't recommend it. The final hour is when a lot of character, candy and attraction lines really lighten up.

Also, if you see the second parade, and you're not at the start of the parade, the party is basically over. There isn't much time to do anything else after it ends.
