I was there last night it was pretty much impossible to get a spot to see anything. They have celebrate the seasons right before castle lighting, so unless you went early to get celebrate the seasons spot it was impossible to see castle lighting. They crammed so many people in that if there was an emergency there would have been no way to get out. So I was unable to see any castle show at 5ft tall. The parade was good if you like frozen though you'll miss Elsa if you blink she starts the parade. The stitch tomorrowland show was awesome and hilarious went at 10:50 and no one was there.

As for merchandise, I waited outside merchants of venus to go into pin traders 7pm to find they put the shirts out early and they had run out of most already (they only put up one small rack in center of store) the limited edition non pass holder pin comes in 8 designs but the behind the counter stores only have 1 design. if you want any design but mickey/minnie you have to go to frontier trading or emporium, these are also the only two places with the pass holder pin. There also is a party only ball ornament on a sleigh which was pretty cool. The frontier place has all of the pins up on a wall so you can easily see each design of the party pin, and there is a box set and large pin held behind the counter at frontier as well.

The hot cocoa and cookies were delicious, they gave us each 1 cocoa and 2 snickerdoodle cookies which were nice and soft.

I would advise not to go to a sold out party it felt even more crowded then sold out Halloween! But still was cool thing to try once, I don't think i personally would pay again just with the crowds wasnt really able to enjoy the shows/parades.

You can request the gluten-free cookies. Enjoy Life brand chocolate chip cookies in a package.

Are the enjoy life cookies usually readily available? DSs have nut allergies and these are safe for them. TIA!

 

[FeralCatRogue]

I didnt notice other options but i saw someone get a package of grapes from the counter

Yes, you just have to ask : ) Previous years they have also offered bagged apple slices, again you have to ask.

We were also there in Friday. I didn't find the crowds to be too bad compared to sold out MNSSHPs. We watched the fireworks from a bridge outside of adventureland. We got a great spot for the second parade in Liberty Square. We didn't see any shows but did rides instead. I also bought the AP pin with Olaf on it. I didn't realize there were others available during the party. We stayed in the park until about 12:45am and it was still pretty busy.

How were the waits for the rides? We mainly go for the rides and the atmosphere, not the shows, so any info on wait times would be appreciated!

 

[FeralCatRogue]

everyone was so packed for shows rides i saw were 5 to 10 minutes and 30 for mine train at about 10

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Ride waits were short, our longest was the Jingle Cruise at 22 minutes. The earlier castle shows were busy but minimal folks at the end of the evening. We didn't see the characters other than Santa (we were shut out of Winnie the Pooh and friends at 11:10p or so, they already closed the line). Castle area mobbed, we got parade seats at 8:45p and also watched the lighting, wishes and show but view wasn't great (non existent for the show). Seats were great for the parade though. Walked by there on our way to Santa after being rejected at Pooh and could have gotten a great spot for the last castle show.

Lines for photos were pretty long but moved fairly quickly.

Only Snickerdoodles at Cosmic Rays (cookie choice) and apple slices. Also cocoa or Apple juice. In 2013 we had 3 cookie choices I think.

Where did you sit?

 

[chloelovesdisney]

Where did you sit?

Facing the castle, on the right side on the curb (towards the front). If they would trim that tree it would be a better view of the fireworks.
