I was hoping that the rides would be empty, but I am thinking that with Disney giving away tickets people are going to want to do rides and not just see the parade or performances.Maybe you should go the parade?
If it helps, I'll do a RideMax plan for anyone who needs it.
Though, I'm thinking the rest of the park will be empty and Main Street will be filled?

What Time Will It Happen?:
Shifts may start as early as 7:30 AM, however, due to the ever changing world of production, we do not have any specific shift times as of this moment.
You will be expected to commit to a 4-hour time slot for each shift. We ask that you stay for the entire time (even during the occasional, brief production breaks). If for some reason you leave the area during the shift, we cannot guarantee or hold your place. Participants are welcome to remain in the Magic Kingdom following the production.
Well that sounds great, if it happens that way then this should be a breeze, tell me if I'm wrong, but does it sound like they won't all be allowed in at once, like they have time slots that they show up for, or do they plan to let everybody in at once and certain people go to the parade for their time slots while others do rides and then they switch or they just all go at the same time and are relieved of their duties at the same time? Does that make sense to you?I've done a little more reading into what is going to be required of these freeloader guests.
Only a limited number of spots are available for this, so I seriously doubt that they are going to give away so many free passes that the park fills to capacity. I think Disney knows it's customer bases better than to screw us like that.
Also, I found this interesting:
So it sounds like it's being treated kind of like being an extra in a film. These folks are going to be "working," so to speak, for fours out of their day. That's 4 hours that they aren't allowed to be off crowding line queues, restaurants, etc. If they complete their four-hour shift, then they get to enjoy MK for the rest of the day.
I think it's going to be okay, I really do.![]()
Well, it does say "4-hour shifts" plural, so I am assuming there will be multiple different blocks of time that groups of people will have to commit to. Meaning they won't all be running free all at once.Well that sounds great, if it happens that way then this should be a breeze, tell me if I'm wrong, but does it sound like they won't all be allowed in at once, like they have time slots that they show up for, or do they plan to let everybody in at once and certain people go to the parade for their time slots while others do rides and then they switch or they just all go at the same time and are relieved of their duties at the same time?

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to strike fear in the hearts of anyone! I got the tweet and immediately thought of you. I hope I made the right decision.![]()

Hmm. I assumed it was the 3pm parade that is being taped? Unless you mean on the 3rd/4th, which is when they are supposed to be filimg performances in front of the castle and on Main Street. Then possibly, but I would think not.This is a bit of a random question, but will the 3pm parade be going ahead as normal or will it be cancelled because of all this??![]()

Jo, I swear, if you don't stop fussing over the MVMCP, I'm going to hop the pond and strangle you.I'm starting to think that the parade wont be shown as normal on the 3rd because of all the other stuff going onWe havent seen the new version of the parade and was looking forward to this
Nothing I can do though, so we'll just make sure we definately see the xmas one in the evening - if they cancel that then i'll definately be speaking to a CM about getting our money back for our MVMCP tickets - why should we pay for things we are not getting and then others are getting things for free
I think the parade they tape is a mixture of the normal one, the christmas one and then they add some other stuff like a big group of cheerleaders etc...
We've got ADR's booked for Crystal Palace and The Plaza - how are we gonna get to these places if the areas are roped off? Are they gonna let us through or do they close the restuarants?I so wish i'd picked another day for MK and the party
I don't think we can exchange our MVMCP tickets to another night either can we?

Jo, I swear, if you don't stop fussing over the MVMCP, I'm going to hop the pond and strangle you.The MVMCP is the VERY LAST thing we should be worried about. The tapings and the freeloaders are not going to effect it at all. As for your ADRs, of course the restaurants will still be open and you'll still be able to get to them. Just relax honey, please!

Sorry, was just asking questions so that I don't have a nightmare on the actual day![]()
Hey there MyMuse, don't sweat it, I appreciate you thinking o fme and giving me a heads up, it's better to know upfront and have a back up plan then to be blind sided when I get there, it really is ok now, I am just going to go with the flow. I know you didn't mean to upset anyone, you made the right decision by posting it. Thanks girl.
I saw you mention on Billies's (ELEVATIONIST) about doing a ride max plan for anyonw who wants one, would you mond doing one for me for the 3rd, we probably won't get to the park until about 2:00ish and if it's not too much trouble could you also do another MK one for me for the 5th, we plan to make rope drop.
Thanks.

Awww honeyDon't worry yourself about it! I am glad that you made us aware of it, as I'd rather be prepared than have heart failure on the day

That sounds ok, just as long as they dont letch on to MVMCPIf Den and Ron find anyone without a ticket they are gonna be in need of serious help
This is a bit of a random question, but will the 3pm parade be going ahead as normal or will it be cancelled because of all this??![]()
Wow Billie, you have done a 180 on your thinking about taping days at MK and I agree with you it is going to be fine.It's not going to be a nightmare, it's going to be fiiiiiiiiiiiine!
Just have some faith, honey! You'll see, it's all going to work out and you'll look back and wonder what you were so worried for. Here's some pixie dust for you...

Totally true, Disney doesn't want to anger the paying guests, it will all be good.See guys. I'm telling you it will be fine! Even after what Billie mentioned with the different shifts. Clearly Disney is controlling the freeloaders in a way that won't affect the already paying guests. And I highly doubt they want to annoy the guests who bring in the money!

I love having the Christmas spirit, it used to hit me as early as July, that drove every body nuts. I couldn't wait for Halloween to be over with so I could get my Christmas on.Oh Ty, the Christmas bug has bitten me early too!!! Today we knocked a few gifts off the "to-buy" list and I even found Christmas cards I liked... then we came home and carved pumpkins! Who else can say that?!Tonight I read Madi a story out of her Disney Christmas Stories Collection book. She's amped as well!!!
I am frazzeled for you all over this parade taping snafu... I am sure everything will work out for you all<-- me saying a prayer
In me news, tomorrow morning I see the ortho, wish me luck! I will be sure to come and give ya an update!
Ya know, I don't think I am going to need the ridemax now, I was over reacting to the situation, I am sure it's going to work out just fine. I even think that having a set schedule to follow will probably stress me and my travel mates a little more cause we will feel compelled to follow it. Thank you so much though for offering to do that. That was so nice and totally cool of you, I know you are a busy busy lady and to offer to take time out of your schedule means the world to me, but like you said , it will be ok.Absolutely!! It's probably better closer to your departing date since they updated the program with new numbers, etc. I can certainly make one for now, if you want the feel of it.
I don't *think* they will be allowed out of Main Street.

Really? It's your favorite phrase too? We areso much alike, why aren't we neighbors, how come we haven't been outlawed by any establishments? How come we haven't even freakin met in person? I mean Really?! But Really! YOur son is in charge of powder puff football, I bet he is lovin life.
So you are saying once Reese is gone, I get back my personals? Cause I hate going into her room every day looking for my eyeliner/hairspray/socks/brush etc...etc... or I need to get a lock for my door.
I do still have your address, it actually made it to my address book and not just a piece of paper taped to the wall. I will definitley get you a DVD of Reese, she is still not able to sing but she said maybe by Friday she can sing.
YES, it's totally up to you! It is pressure, but I think I will be happy just hearing you checked in. That is how BAD I'm missing Disney. Yes, by all means, dance naked on a bar. I do it all the time. Just don't make the mistake of doing it at the Hibatchi place. It really doesn't fair well on the feet. OUCH!So it's up to me to give you a great vacation, since you're going to live it through me and all, that's alot of pressure. Do I have to dance naked on a bar in order for it to be up to your standards?just kidding...no really...do I?
I will do my best to make you proud.
