Too much to keep track of, almost like a job! The more i read, the more stuff i dont know

I like to think about it as a hobby, not a job. What can we help with? I'll boil it down:
1. Party tickets*, hotel, & flight, when you decide.
2. Make dining at 180 days.
3. Make FP at 60 days for 3:20 to 4:20, 4:30 to 5:30, 5:30 to 6:30. Do NOT make FP if you have other theme park days where you need FP.
4. At 30 days or after the first party, go to Kenny the Pirates site/come here and map out your party plan for magic shots, meet and greets
5. Day of, arrive slightly before to be let into the park at exactly 4pm.

*- Some parties sell out, some do not. Read the first post for a list of historically sold out dates.

Note: the above does not include creating party costumes because you're either already behind and freaking out, or you're not going to freak out about it.

Don't make it a job you won't enjoy your trip. It seems like a lot of info but just focus on one part at a time then start making your choices. Maybe go read a trip report someone has done on MNSSHP and that will help give you some ideas. It's such a fun event you don't want to stress out over it.

Ok , i have party tickets allready for nov 1st. And a lot of other stuff booked. But this isnt the Disney i remember from 15 years ago. Everything has to be thought out way before you even go. So thats the parties, dinners, where you will be at the parks at a given time. Lol. Its a lot to try to get through. Ill be alright, it was just in the past you bought tickets and went, no real planning. Get up early , go to the back of the park and work your way to the front. Times have changed!

Planning a Disney vacation is like planning a wedding?? You have to start booking your resort a year in advance. You need to buy your "party" dress. You need to figure out food and dessert or should I say your cookie table. The best part you spend hundreds to thousands of dollars for such a short time!!! Sounds like a wedding!!

Welp. Tickets bought for Oct 21

And they keep changing..

• Characters - some locations, time available
• DVC Blue Card Holders were allowed in at 2pm - First time in 2018
• Parade / Firework Dessert Parties - These are now add-on paid events in addition to party ticket
• Enhanced Attraction Rides - Starting at 7pm and included Tea Cups, Space and Pirates of Caribbean - 2018
• Candy Distribution Locations - Now carry the same everywhere. Plus Disney added treats for those with allergies!
• Dining Reservations - There's an actual link for that which has not been released.

Bought tickets for August. I do not see them listed in the "my plans" section. Do these tickets eventually get linked to my account or do you need your confirmation email to get your wristbands?

 

[Sjm9911]

I was told there hard tickets, so you need the info that was emailed to you. I could be wrong......

Mine linked automatically.
I would absolutely bring a printout of the email - if that's the delivery you chose - or the hard tickets.
Don't remember if we needed them or not, but I wouldn't take the chance.

I ordered tickets for the August 20th party yesterday and they showed up pretty much immediately in my plans.

I have never had them show up in My Plans but they have always automatically shown up in My Tickets on the MDE app.

 

[PumpkinKingGB]

Woo and indeed hoo, to add to the above I booked our tickets yesterday, seems way to early to be booking tickets, and way to early to be celebrating Halloween, but what the heck, party!!!

We've done MVMCP before but this is the first time the Halloween party coincides with our dates, so very excited to get to see it.
We will prioritize character M&Gs and trick or treating, as we are in town for 3 weeks and have 5 days at MK to do rides etc...

Now just waiting for the details to be released so I can plan.

That's what I meant, sorry, they show up alongside our park tickets in the MDE app, they were there within minutes of me submitting the order though.

 

[Disneynov2015]

Any word yet if DVC members will be able to get in at 2pm?

Mine never showed up either when I bought them some weeks ago. I ended up getting in touch with customer service and they took care of it for me.

Hi all! We're doing a split stay in October - 6 days offsite, 4 days onsite. The party we want to attend falls during our offsite stay and we don't visit our first park until 3 days later. 60 day booking for FPs is based on resort stay, right? So, I won't be able to book FPs 60 days from our party date, I'll have to wait until 60 days prior to the first night onsite. Right? I'm not used to staying offsite so I'm all confused! Thanks!

Edited to say - I'm referring to FPs for party night

There are no FP for the party time and if you don't have regular tickets to enter the park, you might run into issues with having too many FP and not enough tickets. Maybe.

Eta- I say maybe because some people are successful while others aren't.

Between 4pm-6pm YES you can use fp's and book them on your party ticket, provided you do not plan on using any fp's for the day. After 6pm no fp's are allowed.
