How early are guests allowed in for Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party? -

I have been to Disney around Christmas in the past, but never attended this event. I ve already purchased tickets for the night of the 17th, and I have heard that guests with tickets to the party will usually be allowed into the Magic Kingdom at early as 4pm, even though the festivities don t officially start until 7pm. Is this true? I would like to get in as early as possible, but I don t want to show up early and then have to wait around for hours if they are not letting people in until 7pm.Thanks for any info!

That IS true. Official start/entry time is 7. But anybody who has been before will tell you that they will start letting you at approximately 4 p.m. But this is not advertised, it s kind of an insider secret.
