Our family got the TTMM tickets. There are 4 tickets for the 5 of us - 2 adults 2 kids ( 4 & 6) and a baby ( < 2). We are wondering if we can bring another kid (age 10) with us. Her family did not get the package.

Did anyone has experience using the tickets ? Did they really count how many of you ? How strict are they ?

Thanks

They did count them with us. It was just my husband and I (big kids at heart ). The family in front of us did not have tickets and they were not allowed in. I think it was a mom, dad, and two kids. They were told to "Come back in an hour when Toontown opens to the public". You might be able to get an extra voucher from the Travel Company that is right outside of Downtown Disney! I dropped my two DCA preferred seating vouchers into the parade waterfall and they gladly replaced them at the Travel Company!

Good luck!!

There are always so many MM questions, I figured this should be up at the top for awhile!

Thanks bumershoot. I needed to add it my subscribed threads so i can find t again closer to December. I always forget which days are MM, and I'll "forget" a hundred more times between now and December.

for those who have not experienced mm it's probaly one of the greatest things going. when we went 2 years ago(disney's 50th) with then (2,2,and 8 year olds). anyhow just fantasyland was opened. in an hour we rode on dumbo, carosuel, mr toads, mad hatter, alice in wonderland, mad tea party, and peter pan and to give reference the day before mid morning it was an hour just for dumbo.


this was before toon town early entry. this year we have both and i'm just waiting for it

There was hardly anyone in TT on our early morning a few weeks ago! Especially at the Hononrary Citizen ceremony....I'm talking MAYBE 40 people if even that! We rode two rides without anyone in front of us!!!! It was great! The only way to do Toon Town! We had gone the afternoon before and it was a MAD HOUSE! I loved TT Morning Madness!!!

When would be a better use of our one Magic Morning entry: Sunday Mother's Day 7am or Tuesday (2 days later) 8am? We will be visiting those days anyhow plus the Wednesday. Thanks!

i'd say sunday tuesday being a weekday the park should not be crowded. nice to go early when it could be busy.

Probably the Sunday one just because of the fact that less people will be up at that hour. Plus an extra hour on a day that is more crowded is always good.

Thanks ironpig70 and DLR29 for being so helpful! Sunday it is! Can't wait to get there!!

I really tried to thoroughly read the OP, so sorry if this is already covered but I have booked a room and air package (with a Canadian airline-Westjet btw) and opted to NOT include park tickets, thinking I would save a few $ by buying them with getawaytoday. We are staying at GCH for 6 nights from Wed - Tues and before reading this thread , I researched on the boards that with GAT tickets I would be getting 2 MMs (even though I'm Canadian and they say US only - I've read that they don't really make a distinction?). At first I forgot about the onsite perk of MM for all onsite guests, so 2 MMs with GAT was okay with me. Now I want ALL 3 OF MY MMs if possible - Mwah Ha Ha (greedy, evil laughter)!!!
What I guess I'm asking is, will I receive a "slip" at GCH checking that I use for MM, independent of my GAT tickets? Or am I locked into only 2 MMs since my GAT tickets will be picked up separately?
I guess if this is the case should I just change my plans and buy my tickets through Disney?
I appreciate, in advance, all the help I can get (can you tell I need it?)

It doesn't matter at all where you get your tickets from, since you're staying onsite. They will give you a "charge slip" that's a small white slip of paper, and that is what you show stores and restaurants to charge back to your room, and it's what you show at the gate, along with your ticket, to show them that you're onsite and get MM each day it is offered during your stay.

Doesn't matter where you get the tickets from.

This, of course, is subject to change, but as far as any of us has experienced, they are still offering all the MMs to onsite guests. If the CM at GCH is like the CM at PP last Sept, you'll get a printed sheet of paper (officially printed, not just a xerox pulled from under a table, LOL) explaining the above, and the CM will tell you exactly which days during your stay have MM that you can participate in.

Yep, Bumbershoot is completely correct. I tweaked the OP to avoid any confusion. Thanks!

Can you take the monorail from Disneyland Hotel for Morning Madness or is it open yet??
Is the Toontown celebration the same thing and open to the same people as Morning Madness is or is it an extra cost?

 

[avalon451]

Sschier, Magic Morning (MM) is different than Mickey's Toontown Morning Madness (MTTMM, which you're calling MM in your thread). Magic morning is what used to be called Early Entry, where you get into DL 1 hour before the general admission time. People with 3 or more day park hopper tickets have one MM; people staying in one of the 3 Disney hotels are eligible for all MMs. They are on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Mickey's Toontown Morning Madness is on (I think, I could be wrong!) Mon, Wed and Sat? or maybe it's Fri and Sat. At any rate, I know it overlaps one day with Magic Mornings. It is a little celebration thing back in the Toontown area. Toontown usually doesn't open until 1 hour after the park opens, but on TTMM days, it opens at the same time as general opening. You have to have a pass, which comes with packages sold through the Disney company and a few other affiliated travel companies, like Costco. You go back to ToonTown and the gates are closed, and the CMs there take your MTTMM passes and let you in. You go to the bandstand area in front of town hall, and they have a little show/ceremony where the Mayor and Mickey welcome you and make you all honorary citizens of Toontown. Then the characters line up by their houses for a meet 'n' greet. It's cute, my 5 year old DD was mildly amused, but the 10 y.o. thought it was lame.

You could take the monorail back there. The exit is near the entrance to ToonTown. They don't start the ceremony till maybe 20 or 30 minutes past the park opening time, to give people time to get back there.

Hope that helps!
