Where does the main street bypass dump you? Over near Adventureland or Tomorrowland? We're hoping to head straight to Adventureland, to play Sorcerers of the Kingdom. Just trying to ascertain if we should use the bypass.
It goes to the Tomorrowland side, you exit right next to The Plaza Restaurant so you'll have to make your way through the hub to get to Adventureland.
 
76D Until Our Disney Christmas Vacation!:santa:

16D Until FP+ Selections! :D

Just made ADRs for Easter this morning.:angel: Got everything and the times I wanted. :woohoo:

I'm ready! So where are you MVMCP details? Christmas merchandise? shopDisney (Old Disney Store revamped) is up & running, new Christmas merchandise would have been just the right touch.

Deciding on outfits for MVMCP.:santa:
 
Are cast member party nights more crowded then other nights?

Yes, depending. 1st night will be crowded, bloggers, etc. Fridays b/c no work/school the next day. Possibly party leading up to Thanksgiving since no parties that week.

If you have a good plan, and realize things happen/change, then you will enjoy yourself. I've attended a Sold Out party and still accomplished what I wanted --- Sandy Claws, 7D, Princesses with Princes, Minnie in Peppermint Dress, Scrooge McDuck, Santa Goofy, Daisy, Donal, Pluto, parade and fireworks. Wether sold out or not HUB area will be crowded during parade and fireworks, there are other places to view both.
 
I have a feeling that this was already covered in this thread, but here goes. I know I read that you CAN make FP reservations from 4-6 pm on your MVMCP day. But would that take a day of FPs away from other ticket days? Here's my situation: We are going to the parks on a Saturday, MVMCP on a Sunday, and the parks on a Tuesday. If I make FPs for Saturday and Sunday, will I not be able to make FPs for Tuesday? I can't imagine that MVMCP is considered a regular ticket.

Someone might have already answered this, but I haven't come across a response yet. BUT .. No :) making a FP between 4 & 6pm prior to official party time will not take away / use FP for another day / another park. MVMCP ticket is not considered a regular ticket, it is a party ticket; which is why you can't get in prior to 4pm with a it, and also why you can't stay after 7pm without it.

If you haven't already made FP, worry not .. once you're able to, you will be able to make them for each day of your trip, even if you make some for the short time available before MVMCP begins.

MVMCP is a Special Ticket Event, always has been. With that being said, PP have always been able to make FP+ selections with MVMCP tickets (and MNSSHP tickets). However, PP have not been able to double dip, i.e. 2 sets if FP+ per day/6FP+. In the past you could make FP+ b/t 4-7pm (3:30-6:3-pm). This year the MK is closing @ 6pm so that is not possible this year.

This year, some PP with MNSSHP tickets received emails that they could not make FP+ with MNSSHP tickets and their FP+ would be canceled by X day of they did not cancel, some PP FP+ were automatically canceled, for some PP nothing happened and they were able to use FP+ during the party, and others called back and FP+ were added back to MDE. o_O

The dreaded emails have started for some with MVMCP tickets, and others have had no issues. Please be mindful that the 1st party hasn't occurred so no live reports that FP+ worked.

@monique5, don't now if anyone has said this or not yet, but just wanted to let you know I think it's very nice of you to be doing all this research and coordinating.
It's appreciated! Thank you very much!

@pkondz - You are most welcome! A few have! It's been fun! This is my 1st year for MVMCP thread, @CampbellzSoup had previously hosted the thread. I'm looking forward to this year's party. I'll be there on 12/19 and 12/22.
 
I know how much work these things can be. Been there!

So.. thanks again! :)
 
We will be in WDW 11/25-12/3/2018 and I'm debating about MVMCP. Obviously we still have plenty of time to decide. It will be our first time there at Christmastime, and it will be me, DH, DS10, DS2, and DS2. I know only we can determine "worth", but is there some kind of list of what exactly we will get at the party that we won't get/see anywhere else at Disney during the Christmas season? My concern is our (almost) 2yo twins won't be able to stay long enough to make it worth it. But I also feel like if we are going to be there, we should go. This won't be our last trip, but we don't go every year or anything close. We will probably go every 3-4 years as the kids grow up, and this may be our last Christmas trip for 10-12 years, as we want to also try Halloween, F&G, etc.

Have you checked out the first page of this thread? It is pretty full of information & will probably be the most comprehensive list of what the party entails. There are characters in Christmas outfits, special stage shows, plus the Christmas parade & fireworks that are only during the party. Right now the first page has info from previous years but again, the OP will update with this year's offerings once the parties start. That should help you make a decision.
