Is the main street "party bypass" open the entire night for MVMCP?

Wondering if we can use this bypass later in the night as a shortcut to get to Town Square for parade viewing?

Hoping to avoid crowds at The Hub.

No, it wasn’t open all night at our party on the 10th. We went to get photos with Mickey during the first parade & wanted to go thru after, just to check out the atmosphere & get the big cookie. I can’t remember what time it was, but it was definitely already closed during the first parade.

Market St. gates close as soon as the "sweep" reaches the Casey's / Ice Cream area. Time varies depending on how fast the Lands sweep takes, but it can be anywhere between 7:30 and 7:45 "usually".
