Joining in! Planning a party night in November after we get off our Disney Cruise.
Thanks, yeah those dates seem to be the most popular on what people think.I don’t think they have any sort of insider information, if that’s what you’re asking. They are making assumptions based on historical dates.
I'm not sure why people are reporting that the cookies were dry or crumbly. We found them to be soft, moist and super yummy
Oh, and the eggnog was DELICIOUS!!!
I attended on 12/11. It was frigid, but my cookies were good. We had acquired so many from Pinocchio's and being on Main Street at the right time where handfuls of the red Santa Mickeys were handed out that we took them home. I had cookies well into January and they still tasted good to my family (no worse than when in WDW). Not something fresh out of the oven, but definitely still soft and edible.I am wondering that too. I've read many reports of people saying theirs were soft and delicious...but seriously, ours were practically inedible...rock hard and crumbly and stale tasting. We ended up taking small bites out of about 8 or 9 of them (each time thinking "this one will be fine, right?") and then throwing them all away. I was soooo disappointed because when we've gone in years past (before they were pre-wrapped), they were delicious.
I wonder if how late in the season you went to the party had an effect on this??? Just out of curiosity, when did you attend? We attended on 12/20, which was the second to last party date.
We attended the 12/20 party as well, and did not have any issues with our cookies - they were soft and delicious, especially the ginger molasses ones!!! We got most of ours from Pinnochios like @PolyRob - I wonder if location makes a difference?I am wondering that too.

Maybe...and I 100% don't doubt that others got really good ones...we have always loved them in the past. I'm wondering if maybe it had something to do with the preservatives they used (or lack thereof), when they were made, and when they were eventually handed out? Who knows! Or it could be ours just came from a bad batch/box. I will say that we did get most of ours from the same couple of places and around the same time, and we didn't try to eat them until after we got back to our room...with the exception of the one we got at the kind of backstage entrance area (I forget what that area was called)...we all opened those and ate them right away, and those were good. But the rest we all got later in the party, and I was actually looking forward to keeping them in the room all week and eating them all week wrong since they were wrapped and presumably would stay fresh.We attended the 12/20 party as well, and did not have any issues with our cookies - they were soft and delicious, especially the ginger molasses ones!!!

We attended the November 27th party. I bet you're right - I wouldn't be surprised if the cookies were all made early on with lots of preservatives and then sealed in the packaging. So, the earlier your party fell maybe the better the taste?I am wondering that too.

Yes, it is only for select parties, and the last party has historically been excluded. Once your AP is purchased, you should be able to login as a passholder and see the AP rates, even before the pass is activated.I do have an AP discount question, as I am debating getting the AP and am looking at possible savings. Is the discount only for select parties? Is it ever for the last party? Can I still get the discount if my AP is not yet activated? TIA!
Hello all,
So I have a question for those who have been to the parks during the dreaded Christmas week...I want to know...Is it REALLY that terrifying? Because I keep reading all these posts saying DON'T DO IT. DO NOT GO TO DISNEY DURING CHRISTMAS TIME UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES...but really, how bad is it? Let me just say this, I have absolutely zero expectations. My son will be 6 years old, he could not care less for thrill rides, he does not care about the big attractions. He just wants to go to Peter Pan and the Kilimanjaro Safari, so we are just going for the experience really, the atmosphere; rides are not important to us at this point (we just came back from a trip in May anyway, and we've been to WDW plenty of times before). Bottom line is...is it REALLY that scary??
Read the first page of this thread for details. It's a separate paid event in MK during the Christmas season with special characters, snacks, parade and fireworks.I'm new here. So, everyone is talking about a party. What is that?
im waiting to , puts a damper in the planningGuess no one has any ideas on when the first party of MVMCP will be? Really trying to get a potential date before we book.
