First time at MVMCP- Advice

[aimeeg]

I am looking for some advice on MVMCP. It is our first time going and I really want to make the most of it. TIA!

The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to decide ahead of time what you want to see/do. There is no way you will be able to see all the special shows at the party, the great parade, the special fireworks show, and do all the attractions. I like to decide which shows I want to see, as well as which parade. Then, I head to the attractions. I figure I can do attractions anytime, but I can't see those special shows during the daytime hours.

Eat as early as possible so your MVMCP time isn't taken up for food, then see the shows, catch the late parade and fireworks, worry about rides after you've done everything else you want to do unless you pass a ride with no wait, in which case there is no harm in taking 5 minutes out for a fun ride.

Don't forget your cookies and hot chocolate!

Is the parade the same as during the day?

For starters, don't try to do it all.

Since it's a hard ticket event, yoiu can enter the park as early as 4 (if you aren't there already). This will give you the opportunity to get some non-party stuff out of the. This is a good plan so that you don't have to burn a park day.

With the party running until midnight, give your self a chance to recover the next morning. Do make sue to take in a few snow flakes down Main Street and grab some hot chocolate and cookies along the way.

Does anyone know where there is a schedule of planned events? What can we expect.

We are planning on going to 1900 Park Fare for breakfast and then to DTD. We do not have park tickets for the day so we planned to arrive at 4:00.

It was our first MVMCP on the 16th, and our first night there. We did see the parade, and the fireworks. My son wasn't too interested in going to the other things, so we didn't. We did manage to meet Stitch in Tomorrowland, so that made his night. We did ALOT of rides, Photopass pics, and had a blast!!! Just being there soaking up the atmosphere was exciting enough in itself!
