Thank you everyone for your amazing words - I was bummed we were going to a party so late in the season, but it worked out to time it after the new FLE opened!!
1) One line, so you take your chances going through a second time for different costumes. They flip back and forth all night long.
2) Their camera wasn't linking up to the system, so they couldn't take photos. Some Guests choose to wait for PP, but I was already there 10 min longer than I had planned so we didn't worry about it.
3) I had a date with one of the Princes and didn't want to show up too early
Map? Nope, I don't need no stinkin' map.
But seriously, no, I already knew where everyone was going to be.
HAHA!! So true!
Oh wow - that's rare. Typically Jessie & Wood are out all night... but Bullseye is on/off for 30 minutes.
Haha - that's awesome
1) Yes - she was meeting in both places, PSS is open during the party.
2) Not currently planning on it, I'm not a huge fan of MVMCP; but who knows, I may change my mind.

I contacted a person I know that works at the Parade, who forwarded me to a Leader, who forwarded me to another Leader... I wasn't even sure if it was actually going to happen but it all came together in the end!
They were managed normally (at least how I remember them from the past several years), mad house until the lines form, then there were 2 people who walked around announcing the countdown to the end of the sets. We figured out it was timed to the music... When Poor Unfortunate Souls came on they announced 5 minutes, and when Ariel starts singing in the song it became 2 minutes, when the song ends the Characters go away.
Mickey & Minnie are not timed to the half hour, that's more luck of the draw.
Yes - same Princesses/Princes all night.
1) Were there two meet and greets for Mickey and Minnie? I see take 1 and take 2 and two different sets of costumes. Is there more than one queue for them in TST?
2) What does it mean that photopass wasn't working but they were there....for the Pooh meet and greet?
3) Why did you want to wait until 9pm to see the princesses, thus letting families in front of you until it was 9pm? Is there a switchover of characters at that point?
Thanks again for sharing your experiences and wonderful photos. Prop up your feet today after all that walking!

Great report on your quest! Did you use a map to find all the characters?
Map? Nope, I don't need no stinkin' map.

What a fantastic night! And I am so glad you opted for your practical shoes for all that running over those red heels from Friday!
HAHA!! So true!
Must have been a dead night at the party looking at your wait times.
And seeing your photos reminded me...we were stuck in Woody's dance party for over an hour due to rain on the 30th, and he was the only character out. Jessie was out for maybe 5 minutes then had some issue and disappeared (never came back while we were there) and Bullseye never showed. We popped in a while on the 28th and never saw Bullseye then either. Total dud.
Oh wow - that's rare. Typically Jessie & Wood are out all night... but Bullseye is on/off for 30 minutes.
I actually saw you as you were leaving the Goofy/Donald meet in Storybook Circus... I remember the costume
Haha - that's awesome
Great pictures! I have 2 quesions - so Minnie was greeting at TST and PSS? Or is PSS closed during parties? And will you be doing a report from MVMCP? (I guess that is 3 questions, lol.)
Thanks, as always.
1) Yes - she was meeting in both places, PSS is open during the party.
2) Not currently planning on it, I'm not a huge fan of MVMCP; but who knows, I may change my mind.
Im. Press. Ive.
I've got a question - what or how do you get a pre-arranged photo shoot?

How were the Mix & Mingle greets handled last night? They were a madhouse when I was there. I'm going to guess Mickey & Minnie switch costumes every half hour? Princess room is the same 3 the whole party (Snow White, Cinderella & Rapunzel).
