We will be there using a park ticket at around 1-2 pm. Do you think we can get wristbands at 2 even though we aren't DVC?
I plan on seeing Jack and Sally first and then 7 dwarfs. Jack and Sally come out at 5 and if you can get to 7 dwarfs by 5:20-5:30, you should be out of that line by 7. The 7 dwarfs start meeting 45-60minutes after Jack and Sally. If you see 7 dwarfs first and then Jack and Sally, you run a chance of being in that line for up to 3 hours (reported waiting time during Friday’s Party).I,m not sure if the boys are willing to wait in line to see jack and sally. I do though. Priority are 7D and Jack Sparrow. How early should we be in line for 7D so we are among the firsts and then just rush to JS line? Any suggestions?
The Main Street Bypass - Open when the party starts, typically at 4pm.

Magic Kingdom will often open up an alternate path located behind the shops on the right-hand side of Main Street (as you face Cinderella Castle) known as the Bypass.

During MNSSHP CM's will direct you towards the bypass, some will hold signs others like last year will be yelling, yep, this was reported last year!

There will be various stations set up including: Party wristbands, treat bags (regular and Teal), photo ops and party merchandise. IIRC, for the past two or three years you were also given your first treats in a plastic bag. These treats have changed over the years. TIP: Ask the CM if you can have TWO!

Thank you so much! I will plan on lining up around 6:15 at the latest to try and get his first set so we can get that done.It can get very long. We attempted to line up at 6:45 two years ago and the line for his first set was already closed! We came back at 7:45 and was among the first in line for his 8:00 set. Once he actually came out, the line doubled in size. So try to line up at least 15 minutes prior.
Touring plans predicts the 30th to be better than the 28thI'm a PH and will be in the park for the day. What time do they start distributing the wristbands in places such as Tortuga's Tavern and Phillarmagic? Do I have a better shot at it by going to park entrance? I believe they'll start there shortly before 4pm.
I really want to line up for Jack and Sally before 4, and I'm solo, so I can't tag team.
I know it's really frowned upon when people come and go from the queue in an attraction. But are people more lenient about these super early character stake outs? I'm thinking, worst case scenario, I line up before 4 and talk the sympathy out of my queue peers in order to make a run form y wirstband. I'm probably be going on Oct 30, so I'm planning for it to be sold out.
On an unrelated Q: do you guys think Oct 30 tend to be less crowded than the 28th? I'm thinking it IS closer to actual Halloween, but it's not on a weekend... I haven't bought my tix yet, so inputs are welcome!
Its not available anywhere yet.Anyone have any idea where the Cauldron Premium Popcorn Bucket is available in Disney Springs?
The entrance to the bypass is to the left of Tony’s.Thank you everyone for all the great information you are sharing on this thread, it is really helping us get ready for our party night.
Quick question: Is the entrance of the Bypass at the Confectionery or The Plaza? Cause it would seem strange to have it start at the Plaza and then dump you out at the top of Main Street rather than the bottom. Obviously, we have never used the Bypass before.
Jack and Sally come out at 5
Yes - they did on the main threadCan anyone confirm this for 2018?
For those that are going to either the October 25th or 28th Parties and want to enter MK at 2, or just want to get the wristbands at 2(I’m pretty sure that DVC members and their guests can get wristbands at 2 but not sure if everyone else has to wait until 4), I can take 6 guests in (that have Party tickets) at 2 and get wristbands. I’ll post again about two weeks out from the October dates.
