Several people are reporting on this thread that they were able to purchase tickets for some dates with an AP discount:

I believe you can get into MK at 4:00 for the Halloween Party. At least we were able to last August.

There were rumblings last year that would happen this year. The rumors on last year's thread was that there would be no way to obtain FP with just a party ticket as many of us could last year (but many had FP cancelled as well).This is second-hand info from another thread here, but someone reported being told no entrance until 6:00 for all parties this year.
(I actually think it was on the paid parking thread from a lady who spent 2.5 hours(!) on the phone with the “call-back” CM.)

Sort of. But this is more of a zero sum thing. The sooner the party guests get in, the less "Disney" the regular ticket holders get. I see this as Disney realizing that people were thinking of only buying party tickets because you got so much time in the parks, so now they cut that time short to try and keep their 2 tickets per day model... It just happens to be a small side benefit to the regular ticket folks who had been getting shafted for years.Less for more - per Disney standard policy.
Oof that sounds like a nightmare.

That is what I am hoping for (and the one I am targeting is on a Tuesday). Now I have to figure out if I can even get the AP discounts as I have purchased my AP but haven't activated it yet as I want to wait until we are there in August to get the most use out of it
Yes. It's a zero sum game. Moving it from 4 to 6 is better for the regular ticket holders but not as good as days when there is no party. Similarly, moving it from 4 to 6 is worse for party ticket holders. The whole concept of a 2 ticket day irritates the living crud out of me. But, having done MVMCP once, I'll never do it again. So any limits to the party that benefit the regular tickets make me mildly happier, though still annoyed at the whole concept.That's still shafting regular guests unless the tickets for that day start costing less.

Wait what is that 6 or 7 based on:I thought it would be busier but animal kingdom is very manageable. Probably about a 6 maybe a 7 at tops.
The rteetz modelWait what is that 6 or 7 based on:
- 100 crowd levels
- 2012 crowd levels
- 2015 crowd levels
- today's expectations as compared to say Christmas week 3 months ago
- the EasyWDW model
- the Touring Plans model
- the Kenny the Pirate model
- the Undercover Tourist model
- What your grandma/aunt/other relative said a 6 "feels" like
- I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT YOU SAY MODEL...EVERYDAY IS A CROWD LEVEL 11 SO SHUT YOUR MOUTH
I'm 100% with you - it messes with both the people that pay for day tickets and have to leave at 6 PM, and the people that are paying $100+ for an event that got them in for 8 hours and now only gets them in for 6. As I said - more for less. And yet they will still sell out.
