I should not have said "work the system" what I should have said was if you want to get your FP from 4-7 p.m. that you are receive with your purchase of a MNSSHP ticket

I think it is just a misunderstanding. You are entitled to 3 FPs with your MNSSHP tickets, but only if you are not in a park during the first part of the day. If you use a park ticket for the morning, and have 3 FPs. You are only permitted 3 prescheduled FPs in a day, so you are no longer eligible to receive 3 with your party tickets.

Does Jack Sparrow only meet during MNSSHP? Does anyone know his meet times? I have searched and can't find specific times, but from what I did find it sounds like he only meets during the party?

I'm not sure if he meets only at MNSSHP but I got in line to meet him after the 1st parade last year and had to wait about 20 mins for him

Thanks, I would actually rather meet him on our regular park day since DS is doing PL that day, but I need to make sure he meets on regular days and not just party.

He does not do regular meet and greets outside of the party. If your son is outgoing you could try to get him into the pirate tutorial with Jack that happens everyday in Adventureland, but there is no guarantee he would get picked. I also believe there is an age limit of probably 12 and under for that show.

Thanks! Our party is before our MK day so we will try to meet him during the party and use the other plan as a backup. Does anyone know the times during the party he meets?

I know if I purchase tickets online, I get a paper confirmation and not a hard ticket. If I buy them at Guest relations, do I get a hard ticket? I keep all of my hard tickets to scrapbook and would prefer an actual card to a paper print out. Thanks!

We are going to the MK from 11 until 4 p.m. and the MNSSHP on the same day. To get an "additional" 3 FP for the 4 - 6 p.m. time, I created a shadow family for our MNSSHP tickets using my families middle names. It is my understand that, if available, when my 30 day out FP window for offsite guests opens, I can get the FPs linked directly to my shadow families MNSSHP tickets, which I will use during that 4 to 6 p.m. window.

This sounds confusing, but I think that is one way to "work the system."

I think it is just a misunderstanding. You are entitled to 3 FPs with your MNSSHP tickets, but only if you are not in a park during the first part of the day.

no not a misunderstanding.

You can buy online and request the hard ticket. Print at home isn't the only option.

We called to buy ours and they told us to just pick up our tickets at Guest relations in MK before the date of our party. She stressed to do it in the morning of the party day, or on another day before our party. I guess maybe it gets too busy to get them when the party is about to start!

A few more questions before our party on Friday

Jack Sparrow is in the parade, so I assume if we miss him before then, we'll have to meet him after? Also, do Cruella and Jafar stop meeting during all of the show times, since they're in the show?

Agree. I think I understand what she was trying to say. I believe her point was, and I could be wrong, but...people are able to get 3 FP's due to the fact that they have purchased a MNSSHP ticket. That is the ONLY reason they are getting FP's...the hard ticket. Those of us who are attending the park during the day understand that we get 3 FP's, as normal. I get that. I think the point she is making is discussing the fact that we have also PAID for the MNSSHP ticket and if ticketholders are being "rewarded" (for lack of a better word) the ability to book 3 FP's from 4-7...why are those that spend the day at the park not allowed to ALSO have that benefit because we have paid for the MNSSHP ticket TOO. I believe that is all she meant. I understand too that that is not how Disney has set it up to work...I respect that...but just an observation that if the hard ticket is granting FP's....then our tickets should as well....on the purchased ticket's own merit.

Mine too! For 10/21-20/26.

 

[bc7ate9]

Ty. That helps some. Are there any others that have dressed up for 2015?

The Pooh characters and Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy are in costumes.

 

[FunkyDuckToo]

Mine too! For 10/21-20/26.

Ooooohhh....that means mine should be coming any day too! Excited!! Something other than bills in the mail...gotta love that!!

I'm not sure how long he's out, but Kenny The Pirate said this: "I recommend going to see him during the first parade or immediately after the SECOND Boo To You Parade."
I wonder why he's out greeting during the first parade, since he's in it.

He doens't meet during the parades, but you can get in his line - since he's not there, less people are likely to do that.

Slightly off topic but related anyway; I'm going to this Sunday's party. Would anyone want to follow a "live" Twitter report of my evening? I'm going solo, and trip reporting for my home group anyway. I've never "live tweeted" before but it would be fun to share the experience. What do y'all think?

Getting FP for your the 4-7 p.m. hours for your MNSSHP ticket is not the same as not buying a ticket and staying at the party without paying... apparently, I am not cut out for these boards, because in my mind I was offering a tip to make the most of your MNSSHP ticket and I feel my remarks have been misconstrued. I should not have said "work the system" what I should have said was if you want to get your FP from 4-7 p.m. that you are receive with your purchase of a MNSSHP ticket.

Nope you're cheating, justifying it doesn't change it. Yes you get FP+ from 4 to 6:30 with your MNSSHP ticket that is a perk of buying the special ticket (that you get a very small window to try to get FP+), but that is NOT supposed to be in addition to the 3 you get with a regular ticket. If you have to make up dummy people and accounts to do it, then it's cheating. People cheat, and they get away with it, if someone's code of conduct is okay with that then it is and no one will change their mind, but at least man up and admit you're cheating.
