"Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

[monique5]

This may have already been addressed, but we have MVMCP in between our two base ticket days, all tickets being linked on our MB's. If we enter the parks at 4pm in the party line (assuming there is a special entrance) how does it know to use our party tix and not our last day base ticket?

Entering the MVMCP Entry Point "uses/deducts" MVMCP ticket for entry. Those issues (MYW tickets being used) were when MB were 1st introduced and when not entering the correct line --- and not all the time just in some instances. If you have the Green RFID card, you can scan it @ the entry point. We do not bring the card, just order to keep as souvenir. We have attended MNSSHP & MVMCP over the last 3 years and haven't had any issues.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the first night of MVMCP is officially sold out for Nov 9. Just went to get one more ticket for a friend but couldn't . Glad I purchased mine yesterday, but not looking forward to the crowds!

Did you try calling? Idk if WDW is like Disneyland but at Disneyland when halloween tickets sold out online we could still get them for a bit by calling in.

@monique5, can you please tell us a little more about the places in the park we can pick up our bands and map of the party the day of (assuming we are already in the park when it starts?)

I’m especially interested in any points in liberty Square/Frontierland/Adventureland

Thank you!!!

Never mind- just saw Tortuga tavern in your first post. Is it pretty self explanatory when you get there?

Those are from last year. Will not know for this year until 1st party when someone reports locations ---then I will update Post #1 with 2017 locations. Signs are up at those specific locations. When your MB/Ticket is scanned you receive a wristband and party map.

If going to 1st party, you could try those locations listed or ask a CM @ MK.

Another question- if I am in line for something, can dh take my MB to a station to get scanned for my party ticket, or do I need to be there in person?

To check in for MVMCP you need to check in. CM puts wristband on your wrist once they scan your MB.

It's been almost 10 years since I've been to a Christmas party. Planning on going 12/1. I'm also planning to be in the park all day that day. Where are the wristband distribution locations within the park? Are they usually near the treat locations?

Hi everyone! Part of me really wants to do the party but the $550 price tag for all of us really puts me on edge whenever I come close to booking it so I was wondering if you could help me with a query, and let me know whether you think it's worth it or not!

Has it been confirmed anywhere that Happily Ever After will be showing from the 23rd Dec onwards, and not being replaced with Holiday Wishes as has been the case in previous years? I know the park hours guide are showing HEA but is this likely to change? I only ask because it seems (though I may be wrong) that the fireworks is the only party entertainment that isn't repeated during Christmas/New Year week, so if I spend all this money only to find out this isn't exclusive either I'll probably be a bit miffed (our dates are 19th Dec - 4th Jan)

We aren't really character meets type people either, but then the party just looks so good! Help please

With special photo effects and characters at the party, is the $169 for the memory maker worth it?

Fail on my part. Thank you.

See Post #1 - Memory Maker Info. You can get MM for party/1D MM for $59. Full details listed including how to purchase. IMO, it's worth it!

If we're planning on meeting Nick and Judy and would like to be one of the first groups to meet them, at what time should we line up?

We are planning on getting in line for Scrooge and Donald right after so if we can meet right when they come out, it would be a huge plus. Thanks in advance!

Fireworks is unique to MVMCP.
Sandy Claws, 7D, Scrooge McDuck, Mickey & Minnie in Special Attire, Princes, unique. Probably missing a few.
Stage show unique.
Parade will replace FoF after last party but in daytime not night like @ Party. Parade preshow is unique to party.
There are MagicShots unique to party.

See 1st quote as well as Post #1.
Holiday Wishes is exclusive to MVMCP. There's also exclusive merchandise & SotMKC.

That's good to hear, thank you! I was under the impression the stage show was repeated Christmas week though when I found this thread a few days ago

It looks like it was last year, I do not recall that from previous years when there for Christmas, who knows. However, the finalized times weren't posted until December, poster is no longer CM, so no access to HUB now either. It appears that info wasn't on Disney's website from info posted on thread, if so, not until later date in December, but all finalized info noted in post wasn't until December 2016.

I have no access to the HUB, so I wouldn't have any info for you in regards to this year.

No worries - I guess it's a gamble I'd have to take if such info won't be available until way into December (by which point I'm certain my date - the 21st - will have sold out).

Do you think it's worth me doing the party? Does the parade look better in the dark rather than during the day? And what's the deal on the Main Street snow, do they do this on Christmas/NY week too? I've read in some places that they do but does anyone on here have experience of that?

It's a tough one!

IMO, everyone should go at least once. However, I know PP have things to consider like age of kids, cost of family, etc., so answer might not be so simple. I think the parade looks better at night, different effects, seeing it in the daytime later on was quite different, and there isn't the pre-show. It snows on Main St. during the party, before/after parade??, end of party. I am not aware of snow during Christmas/NY week. We leave 2D after Christmas like we have in the past so I've never been there through NY --- not something I really research .
