Love that you started off with mickey ice cream bars! No reason to wait
Love the villian chocolates. I hope they do that again! My kids love the villains
An empty park makes a great incentive to get up for early entry breakfast! Love the pics!
A mickey bar is definitely the right way to start a trip!
And the chocolate sculptures were awesome, really fun to look at it!
First, I think your shirts are great! Have a great trip! Though, I tend to think the odds are ever in your favor for having a good trip at Disney
I love exploring the other resorts - definitely let's you take in the theming without actually having to stay at all of them. Glad you dad got his nap in so he is fully prepared - mentally and physically for MVMCP!
Thank you!! And you know what, I think you are right!!
It was fun getting to see the other resorts! And yes, also gave Dad some down time for the night ahead
That is exactly something that concerns me with the new set up for Magic Bands. This past September was the first time they linked the Party Ticket to the band, and it makes me wonder if people end up scanning a park day instead. For me it's no big deal since I have an annual pass, but for some that could potentially be a problem. Poor Dad. At least no real time was wasted and it really was an honest mistake.
One of these days I'm going to do a party and arrive later so I can experience the party entrance setup. I'm always already there so just with the line for the wristband. I love the decorating they do for it.
Ah the benefits of a group. To be able to hold a spot while getting some food is so wonderful.
Dwarfs and Scrooge McDuck. Impressive.
It does seem to be a little complicated! I'm glad it didn't waste any real time though. If it did, then it would've been a little more upsetting!
After doing both (being in the park while the party has started and arriving later in the day), it is a very different atmosphere walking in and seeing the setup! You definitely feel more immersed in the party experience, if that makes sense.
Was happy we got those 2 meets done since they are 2 of the popular ones!
Wow! You met lots of characters in the first few hours!
I love all the PP+ pictures - so many great family shots.
I heard lots of stories of the same thing happening at
MNSSHP with using a park ticket vs. party. I linked our party tickets to
MDE so I could make FP+ and just use the bands but I made sure we went through the party line. How annoying that the CM at the gate wasn't helpful!
Can't wait to hear more about the party!
Even with the long wait for the ducks, we were still making good on our party time! Our PP pics from this night were some of my faves!
The ticket situation was annoying, and even though it was partially my own fault, I wish there was more clarification before we entered!
Fun fun fun update. I love yoru Alex and Ani bracelet.
Sorry about the issues with the tickets, but glad it all worked out.
Cute photopass pictures...I love your shirt. I love the picture with Olaf.
And what a great pictures with the Seven Dwarfs. And I adore Minnie's dress...I don't think I've ever seen that one before.
The line for the ducks ALWAYS seems long.
Thank you!
Minnie's Christmas dress was SO cute, I think it was new for this year's party?
It was definitely longer than I expected so early on in the night. And they seem to take a lot of breaks too!
