And, yes, you can go to any park you want that day. Your park ticket is completely separate than the party ticket. As I was saying earlier, you can get into MK with your party ticket at 4pm (every year, people get worried that this won't be the case, but it always takes place.) I would actually recommend you get to the MK as early as you can after 4pm. If you wait to get to the park at 7, it's insane.

Some people chose to get one less day on the ticket when they go to the party. Then they can relax, stay at the resort, go to Downtown Disney, etc earlier that day, and then go to MK at 4pm. Then you are getting basically a full day at the park 4pm-midnight. Thats a good way to save money. I usually like to go to DTD the day of the party because I know it will be a long night.

thanks Heather, that was exactly the information I needed to hear! You're awesome!
