Attended the merriest night solo last night. Had a wonderful time!
Ate dinner at the festival of holidays first, then went over to DL shortly after 5pm. Went straight to Launch Bay to check in, overall the process took maybe 15 min. Only guests with party wristbands were allowed to the merchandise area.
Enjoyed the coffee nog from Red Rose Taverne while people watching. Rides started becoming almost walk-on after 7pm, when the park closed to non-event guests and the party hadn’t started yet.
Once the party started at 8pm, I got my MK button and did special photo backdrops and character photos. Watched the parade, and more photos. I usually don’t do rides at parties since I go to the parks regularly. Only interested in things offered only at the events.
I enjoyed the lower crowds. The lighted lanyards made it all that much more festive! Only complain of the night was that people didn’t turn them off on the two rides I did before the party started: Pirates and Haunted Mansion. Wasn’t so bad on Pirates but it was annoying to see all the lighted lanyards in the seance circle
I will definitely do this again next year.
