[StaceyA]

We just keep hearing Early May...Early May....lol

[zurgswife]

Tomorrow starts Early May in my book....

We are hoping for Dec 9 and dinner in the park..

[Steve Hurley]

:D DW and I will be there Dec. 5:bounce: ...last year tickets went on sale April 30 but I keep reading on the Dis that same old "early May":teeth: . Hope it's true!!!!!!!!!!:D

[zulaya]

I called yesterday and got early May. I am calling this morning to see if there's more details or if it's still "early May".

Don't they realize us crazy DISers will be calling every day until we can buy our tickets? :crazy: We want tickets! :crazy:

[zulaya]

Well, I just called. And I think her name was "Lily" that I spoke with. She says it still says early May in her computer.

She did tell me something the no other CM had told me before, which was that the tickets would be available on the disneyworld.com website at the same time she would them available.

Not sure how accurate that would be, but thought that was an interesting piece of info that hadn't been shared yet.

[Serenity]

We want tickets for the last night - 12/17. Can't wait for those tickets to come out. Does anyone know if you can book your dinner reservation when you buy the tickets or do we have to wait for the 60/90 day reservation time? Do they do reservations for Crystal Palace for dinner on those nights?. Any help to these questions would be great.

[StaceyA]

Serenity,
We have always booked LTT on the day we bought our MVMCP or MNSSHP tickets, I have never been the person that has called and bought the tickets so im not sure, but I think we have made the dinner PS's with the same person we bought the tickets from.

we are planning on Attending Nov 30th, I have always gone on a Friday or Sunday, but really wanted to do one during the week this trip!!

For the last few years they have let you book LTT when you buy the tickets.

The other MK restaurants open up at 90 days.

[Serenity]

Thanks StaceyA and Beattyfamily. That was very helpful informaiton. I just love these boards and how helpful everyone is. It really makes the planning so much more fun when you have others to share it with.

Thanks again.:wave:

[beattyfamily]

On another thread someone is reporting that a CM said MNSSHP tickets are going on sale TOMORROW!

So we'll see tomorrow!:cool1:

[Suzanne033]

Serenity, The 17th is the date we want to go as well. They say that date is the fastest to sell out for two reason: 1. It's a Friday, 2. It's the last one for the year.

Get your dialing finger ready!! I am going to start calling at 8:00am tomorrow morning.

407/W-DISNEY

[zakatak]

Two questions: 1. For the earlier parties (Nov 30, Dec 2nd) do you really need to buy the tickets early or can you wait to see what the weather looks like? (42 degrees was rather CHILLY in 2002 :p ).

2. Can you book LTT without buying tickets to MVMCP early?

Thanks!

Karen

[zulaya]

You can wait to buy tix, but you can't book LTT early without the ticket confirmation number.

[angey77]

anxiously awaiting five tickets for December 10.

[zulaya]

Just called again. CM said available in May. I replied, "That's tomorrow." She said, "then you can get them tomorrow."

Also, got the advance purchase prices from her:

Adults $36.95 plus 6.5% tax ($39.35)
Children $26.95 plus 6.5% tax ($28.70)

That seems quite a bit higher than last year.

I am calling tomorrow first thing.

It's only $1.06 more than the prices I found listed for last year. :)

[Serenity]

Thanks for the warning Suzanne033. I was afraid that was going to be the case. Just my luck to finally get to go in December and end up missing MVMCP. I will just have to make sure to call early and often till those tickets come out. :)

Here's hoping we both manage to beat the crowds for that night and get those tickets. :teeth:

[always quiet]

Tickets on sale tomorrow for this event as well!! :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: I called again this evening, looking to see if I could confirm this and the CM laughed and said that it JUST appeared in their computer system no more than 15 minutes ago! ::yes:: Wonderful lady...wish I could remember her name! Very friendly and we had a fun chat. It's CMs like that who magic Disney magical right from the planning stages! ::yes::

[disneysnowflake]

Woo hoo! We are planning to go on Tuesday, December 14 with dinner at LTT.

[Serenity]

Well so much for sleeping in tomorrow. I will be up very early to try to get those tickets. Can't wait.:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[Serenity]

Well I may be sleeping in. I just called - I am obsessive that way - just wanted to make sure I had the right phone number, confirm who I needed to talk with about the tickets etc. so that in a.m. I could just get straight to ordering them without asking any questions. I got a recording saying they are closed for system upgrade and will not reopen till Saturday at 1 p.m EST. What a bummer.

I just called CRO and got a recording saying they are "closed for a system upgrade" and won't reopen till 1pm tomorrow!!

[HollyJoy]

Maybe they are upgrading because they are anticipating all of us calling tomorrow! LOL

[zulaya]

They probably are upgrading for the tix tomorrow and from what I hear there are to be new room discount for the summer released next week. Might be covering all of that.

[StaceyA]

That is exactly what I said on another thread...LOL

[HollyJoy]

FYI ... Just called to order my tickets because another thread said they were accepting orders, even though their computers are still down, but they told me to call back after 1pm. They wouldn't take an order.

[shopgirl72]

MVMCP tickets will go on sale later today-- they are working on system!! Good luck!!

Shopgirl:earsgirl:

[Sunkissed]

Planning on purchasing tickets to MVMCP for 5 Dec and making PS for LTT, but was hoping to wait until Friday (payday), should this be a problem? Thanks!

IMHO, no.

[PrincessMommy2]

I thought I read this somewhere else, but I could be mistaken....I think all 16 in our group will be going to the party. Can they charge the tickets to the individual room reservation and have each room pay for the tickets later? Or do I have to collect credit card information for 5 families and do it separately? Or does each family have to call on their own?

Thanks!:D

You pay for the tickets at the time they are ordered. I would guess that you wouldn't be allowed to charge to 5 different credit cards. Either order all the tickets at once and have the others pay you back, or have each family call for their own tickets.

[Sunkissed]

Thanks everyone! Was able to make my PS for the LTT, 5:30pm on the 5 Dec, before MVMCP. :earsgirl:

[Kina]

So I will need to buy my tickets before I make a PS reservation?

[maciec]

So I will need to buy my tickets before I make a PS reservation?

No.....I along with many other have made PS for MNSSHP today prior to purchasing our tickets because the system has been down.

[Kina]

sorry to be a pain but what number did you call?

[tx_disney_fan]

I just got off with a CM and got MTT PS for my family and friends for 12/5/2004 5:45pm.

They also said they woould CALL ME when the computer was up. Will see if they actually call. I'm going to monitor this board to see when someone get through.

[Kina]

I just called and spoke to a german sounding lady. She spent 15 minutes trying to book my tickets and PS then said that the system was down and she couldn't do either. She said that someone would call me back.

[Noelle]

I just got off the phone and tried to buy tickets for 12/17 MVMCP. The ticket system is still down, but anticpated to be back up later this evening.

So I tried to book PS for Liberty Tree Tavern. 12/17 is completely filled up!:eek:

So I guess we'll just eat dinner at the Poly, then head over to the party.

BTW, the CM said the 17th will sell out very fast. In case there are any people wanting tickets for the 17th and thought they could wait a few weeks to buy them.

[Kina]

I literally just booked for the 17th December at 6.30pm for 2 of us. I'd try again as the first CM I called said I couldn't book it up as the systems were down so I called back and spoke to someone else. She said that I couldn't book it as it was outside of 90 days and I told her that people had already been getting them booked up today. I think I knew more than her lol!

[TraceyL]

I know you can't book PSes online but can you buy MVMCP tickets online ? (Just trying to save myself some transatlantic phone calls :p )

[Kina]

I booked my MNSSHP tickets online last year, so I guess you will be able to. I checked earlier and couldn't find them on there to book though.....

[always quiet]

Just tried CRO again for tickets. Looks like the computers will be done for another couple of hours!! :rolleyes:

[TraceyL]

Thanks Kina- You following me tonight http://www.emotipad.com/newemoticons/ROTFLMAO.gif

[Tinkerbrooks]

WATCH UPDATE:

I just called again at 3:25 and CM said computers are still down and anticipating time up around 4:30-5:00!!!

[Kina]

yup I just tried at 3:57 EST and they said 30 to 40 mins, that brings us to between 4:30 and 5:00

[shopgirl72]

I just tried 5:17 ET, CM said computers may be up at 6:30 or later, she suggested waiting to call back tomorrow!!

Shopgirl:earsgirl:

[HollyJoy]

Ugh, ugh, ugh! I called around 4:30, and the CM was less than friendly, but said that they were hoping the computers would be back up sometime today, but they are now aiming for tomorrow! Oh the suspense!! LOL

[beattyfamily]

I'm really not surprised. I always thought they'd go on sale May 2.

It must be a big production to get all that info into the system.

I guess the CMs should have been mum on when they 'thought' they'd go on sale. Then we'd be pleasantly surprised tomorrow morning.:teeth:

[Serenity]

System is up. I just got my tickets for 12/17 for MVMCP.

Good luck.

[zulaya]

Got my tix for 12/5

[WDW*3]

Got my tix for 12/16 and 12/17

[danny1649]

For 12/7 and 12/9 MVMCP YAHOOOOOOO::yes:: :wave2:

[tikilyn]

Got my Tickets for 12/9. The CM I was talking to was really suprised at how busy they were and asked me How I found out about it so soon!!HEHE

I told him one word INTERNET!

[bjakmom]

Hurray - the system is back up - just got my PS at LTT for 5:45 on the 5th! I don't have our tickets yet, but she gave me a conf # and said I'd have to show one at PS check in.

[Kina]

I just spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to make my ticket reservations and the system went down again, they are going to call me back tomorrow.

I think I'll be off to bed now as it's 12.35am!

[always quiet]

I got my tickets for MVMCP for 12/7 and my sister MNSSHP for 10/3
at around 6:30. :bounce: The CM was complaining about how horribly slow the computers were. Never expected them to go back down!!! :earseek:

[angel's momma]

I emailed my TA today to ask her to order our tickets. I didn't expect her to respond on a weekend, but she did & ordered our tickets for 12/12. :)

[crow11ad]

I called today and we got ours for 12-7-04. Now if only December can get here quick..:bounce: :Pinkbounc

[Noelle]

So much for my trusting the CM that said that the system wouldn't be up until tomorrow!:earseek:

I'm going to be so disappointed if I can't get tickets to MVMCP!

I can't imagine that they'll sell out that fast. But the CM I had spoke with earlier today said, the 1st night and the last night sell out the fastest.

So I guess I'll just keep sitting here on hold and hope a CM picks up the phone soon.

I swear this whole process is driving me CRAZY!:crazy:

[HollyJoy]

Wow! So many of us are going on 12/7!


My girls are beside themselves! I told them at dinner that I had bought our tickets today! Whoo Hoo!

[Noelle]

Yeah, I just got my tickets for 12/17!

Can't wait!!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[HappyGramma]

Got my tickets for MVMCP for 12/7 too. I also got PS's for the LTT for 5pm. ::yes::

I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry....they don't start selling out until the fall, you'll be fine.

Just got mine for 11/30!!

[goofy4tink]

Okay, now I'm getting a little peeved!!! Just got off the phone, after waiting for about 20 minutes, and guess what??? Sorry, we can't sell any tickets to the party today. Problem with the system. **&^%$&&*(!!!!


Okay, update!!! Savannah was able to get them for me. Yay!!! The first guy was very nice but not helpful. Only 5 minutes later another CM gets them for me. Moral of this story....keep calling!

What date were you trying to book? I called and was told there are still one or two days they cannot get into the system. One of those days is October 1 - the one I want!

[goofy4tink]

Nov 30 for MVMCP. But I got it, finally. Man, their computers must be smoking down there!!!

[FatCow]

How long these tickets will be around (before people buying them all out) ? Can I wait for another month before buying it?

[goofy4tink]

Waiting shouldn't be a problem. I didn't buy mine for last year until the month before! I think the Friday nights go first, and the last couple of parties get bought quickly also. So, the last Friday party would be the one to buy earlier on. Otherwise, wait. Some of us, myself included, just tend to overplan and jump on bandwagons quickly. :crazy:

[SamanthaL]

I never worry about getting the tix I worry about getting the LTT ressie. I even got tix for the Halloween Party at Guest Services at the BC while on the our trip one year!

[beattyfamily]

You really only have to worry about Halloween night for MNSSHP and the last Friday party for MVMCP selling out and they usually don't sell out right away either. I'd say they might sell out by August or September.

[danny1649]

What beattyfamily said,many like me just like to get them early it saves you a few bucks by buying in advance.Plus I like to plan and have much of the details of trip done in advance.Last year I saw folks getting MVMCP tickets same day of MVMCP as we entered MK.Going twice this year 12/7 and 12/9.::yes:: :wave2:

[FatCow]

Thanks for the replies. I will buy the tickets ahead but not THAT far ahead. I still need to breathe from my previous trip two months ago.

(I'm planning to go on two nights; one night without camcorder, another night with camcorder with its lights, external mic, additional lenses and such).

[crow11ad]

After we pay for our trip, I may get another pair of tickets for a different day. We still have to get our airfaire and pay for the trip. We were lucky enough to go ahead and get the tickets yesterday. We can't wait.

[PrincessMommy2]

We are planning on going to the party on 12/10, which is a Friday. I know that Fridays are busier than other nights, but I have not see many postings about anyone else going on the 10th. Is anyone else planning on going the 10th?:rolleyes:

[Dana49]

MVMCP on November 30th with dinner at LTT at 5:35 P.M. We're ready to go. :bounce:

[EsmeraldaX]

Dec 2 w/ dinner at LTT at 5:30!!!!

:Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

[crow11ad]

I just called and asked for PS for LTT and they said they were all booked up. I called right back and got it for for 12-7-04. Woohoo.

[McCall]

Kool I was just able to change my LTT res from 7:10 to 5:15 on Oct 24, yesterday when I tried they said it was sold out.

I was having the same problem this weekend getting tickets for 10/28. I was finally able to get them today without any pproblems or time on hold! :Pinkbounc

[Suzanne033]

Got mine (12/17) after calling all day on Saturday. I knew that there was no way that Disney would allow the computers to be down all day. They would lose money.

[Suzanne033]

9:00am Chicago Time, Monday, 5/3 - I just called to get PS for LTT for 12/17 and they said that almost anytime was still available. I got 5:10pm. She said with this res time I won't even have to leave the park I can just go straight to the LTT.

WOO HOO. I am getting so excited. I think I am more excited than my 5 year old.

[momtotwinglesx4]

Ok, I've got to quit reading this board or I'm going to be bankrupt :eek:

We'll be there 11/26-12/5 to get one last trip out of our AP's :rolleyes: --yeah, *that* saved us *lots* of money, lol!

I've never been to MVMCP before--can someone tell me why I should spend almost $200 for our family of 6+baby to attend this party? Also why does everyone want to dine at LTT that eve? What am I missing here? I'm not being sarcastic, I truely want to know so I can decide if I want to spend the extra money.

Thanks!

[Suzanne033]

The reason I wanted to dine at the LTT that evening is because it is a character meal. Also, since my res time is 5:10pm I won't have to leave the park.

Also, I only have a family of 3 so the entire evening is only going to cost us $160.00.

I have to qualify all of this by saying I have never been to either (MVMCP or LTT). I am in the same boat as you. These boards are giving me all of these great ideas.

[DemonLlama]

This will be our third time to do LTT and MVMCP. In 2000, there was no early PS ability, and we did Crystal Palace. In 2002 the current system was in place, and we did the first dinner seating at LTT (5:40). Now it seems they have added more times for this, so our 12/16 time is 5:05.

In 2000 the idea was that is you had MVMCP tickets and were in a restaurant, they would allow you to stay at the place until party time, and you would already be in the park, and be able to experience the back of the park before the crowds coming from Main Street would appear. We had Fantasyland practically to ourselves that year for about a hlf an hour. Only us and one other family on Dumbo, the Carousel, Pooh, and Pan. We rode these multiple times without waiting, even as more folks appeared. We also did our free picture in Fantasyland with no one else around. (In 2000 it was at the Legend of the Lion King, which wasn't running that night.)

In 2002 once we finished at LTT we were allowed to walk past the castle (deserted -- not a soul around -- great pictures) to Tomorrowland where other guests already in the park were waiting for the party start time. We entered Fantasyland through Tomorrowland and enjoyed a similar isloated feel, although there were more folks with us right from the get-go. With the ability to stay in the park without eating, some people will choose to just get their wristband and ride Space Mountain 10 times in a row. We have too much fun at the character dinner at LTT, sitting and getting charged up for the big night, to give it up.

The party itself can get crowded if you try to do the first parade, or get in the Main Street throng entering the park. If you plan it right, starting at the back of the park, and doing the photo first thing, you can enjoy a lot of rides with very little wait and take in the second parade without a long pavement holding session. We love the free photo souvenir, even though it is cheesy, and getting to see the Christmas parade at night with the snow machines churning out fake flakes. We love being at the park until midnight, since in the winter it is never open that late. We love it all!

[beattyfamily]

The 'main' reason you see so much 'talk' of LTT is that it is the ONLY restaurant at MK that you can book right now when you order your tickets!

It happens every year! Everyone books it and it's all full within a month because it's the only one available when the tickets go on sale. But there are many though that might cancel their LTT PS when the 90 days comes up and they've decided they really wanted to eat at Crystal Palace or the Castle or Tonys!

The other restaurants will open up at 90 days.
