LL on day of Christmas Party

[RoyalJayhawk]

We have tickets to MVMCP next Thursday, and will be in MK that day during the day. Will LL be worth it or will the crowds be low enough that we won't need it?

We went to MK Tuesday of Thanksgiving week (a party day) without LLMP. We also didn’t have a party ticket, so we had to leave at 6pm. We did a lot between 8am and 6pm - not *everything* in the park, but a satisfying amount for a group of 9 ages 10 to 70 - with time to spare for two leisurely snack breaks and a lunch break. The longest lines we waited in were about 40-45 minutes (Peter Pan, Tiana, Haunted Mansion). We did have LLSP for 7DMT and we rope dropped the line for Tron. Everything else was 10-20 minutes wait.

I imagine next week’s crowd will be similar or potentially even lower than it was when we went, though crowds are probably climbing back up again as the holiday week approaches.

For complete reference, here’s what we were able to do:
- Tron (got in line at 7:40, during early entry, for 8:00 opening)
- Space Mountain
- Coffee/Snack Break at Lunching Pad
- Astro-Orbiter
- Winnie the Pooh
- 7DMT (LLSP)
- Small World
- Haunted Mansion
- Lunch Break at Columbia Harbour House
- Country Bear Jamboree
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
- Peter Pan
- Under the Sea
- Snack Break at Gaston’s Tavern
- Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor
- Took our time strolling and shopping Main Street on the way out

When you say that day- are you rope dropping or rolling in around lunch? Crowds are generally close to dead very first thing on party mornings but they do start growing by lunch. So if you’re morning people I say no but if afternoon I’d actually consider it. But, there is limited LL availability too since the park closes so early so it might depend on what 3 LLs were available to pre book.

We likely aren't going to rope drop, so that the kids will have energy to make it through the party. Plus, we get into Orlando kind of late the night before, so everyone may sleep in.

How important is it to you to rides long lines (Tiana, Peter Pan), and if you will do rides or entertainment during the party?

Thanks for sharing this list - to confirm - you waited 740 to 8am for Tron to start boarding since it is not open during EE? Then how long did you wait to board after 8am approx?

That’s correct. I think we were on the ride around 8:20AM.

We don't need to do Peter Pan. Tiana we want to do at some point since we haven't been since it switched over. We have never been to the party, so will prioritize entertainment and sprinkle in rides. Won't worry about character meets too much other than seeing Mickey.
