Everything you need to know about WDW Christmas- Tips & Secrets

[dragonfly57005]

What I mean is that the CP consists of a celebrity narrator telling the Christmas story (the birth of Christ), combined with a mass choir singing religious Christmas songs, so all there is to see is the narrator and the choir.

Check out this video from one of last year's shows:

Thanks for sharing! It gave me an idea finally of what to expect!

I'm back with another question

We will be in the Magic Kingdom the day of MVMCP which we will also be attending. Will we have to leave and re-enter the park for the party to get our wristbands? How does that work?

No, there will be a location near the Hub to get your wristbands if you're already inside. In recent years, this has been near Stitch's Great Escape.

When we went to MNSSHP, we were able to pick up our wristbands across from Pirates of the Caribbean. It may be the same for MVMCP?

What time can you start getting wristbands if you are already in the park?

I'm told they only have a second wristband location in the parks when they are expecting a bigger crowd. We were there on a night in December last year when they said they were expecting a lower crowd so no second station. FWIW...... it didn't FEEL uncrowded! They went and got my hopes up for nothing!

Let me ask this then, in light of Mom2rtk comment about that happening when its busier did you attend on a weekend? Thanks

What time can you start getting wristbands if you are already in the park?

4pm.

Anyone that is already in the park with their hard ticket or those just arriving, all can get their wristband at 4pm.

I am going to HS on 12/9. It is EMH that night so I was wondering will they do a second Fantasmic? Its not on the schedule but then neither is Wishes on the MVMCP schedule.

It is more likely than not they will add another Fantasmic that night, but you won't know for sure until mid November when the hours are updated.

Thank you - fingers crossed then. I find 6.30pm a bit of an awkward time for me.

This is not really a tip, but I am so happy! We just booked an ADR at Chef Mickey's on Christmas Day at 8pm! It will be my parents and me. We haven't had Christmas dinner at Chef Mickey's since I was 5 years old, so this will bring back lots of memories from the past!!!

We were there the Thursday after Thanksgiving last year (I don't remember the actual date). It was busy, but not crazy.

Congratulations!

That will be a special Christmas treat for everyone.

Potentially silly question: My DS wants to do a water park in Dec. Are they open that time of year? How about the resort pools?

There will be 1 park open over the Winter. Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach alternate, every other year, on which one will be open.
