Keep in mind that party tickets allow entry into Magic Kingdom as early as 4:00 PM, giving you a few hours to enjoy attractions before the event officially begins at 7:00 PM. Prioritizing the holiday-exclusive overlays can be a good strategy, as these experiences are a core part of what makes the party a special seasonal event.
