Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Central 2004

[nisiemouse]

We just got our tickets for Dec 16 but unfortunately all the LTT seatings are sold. If anyone wants to switch to another restaurant at 90 days let me know before you cancel please so I can call close to when you do. I wish I could have gotten tickets sooner but wanted to wait until my flights got booked when the Southwest schedule came out. I can't wait until our first MVMCP>

It took me three calls before I could my PS's. First CM was clueless and insisted I had to wait 90 days, second CM said it was all booked. Third CM gave me my choice of times.

Try calling again!!!

Hey Folks--just curious, my mom and I are planning to eat at the Columbia Harbor House for dinner on the 9th before the MVMCP. We were thinking that we would eat around 5:00. If we finish by 6, where will they make us go? Do they restrict you to a certain "land" for the hour when you are already in the park? Will the Harbor House be open any later or will we need to be out by 6?
Just curious...we don't want to get a PS for anything that night, we've got enough PSs throughout our trip that we just want to get some quick fish and chips that night...thanks!

They will make you wait in Tomorrowland while they clear out the park.

I believe Columbia Harbor House will not be open for the party so it will probably close at 6:00p. It is not on the list of what was open last year.

What restaurants were open last year? I called again for LTT and they still say sold out.

I have sort of a strange question to ask. We have tickets purchased for MVMCP on 12/12 with DS14 and DD8. I'm pretty sure that I read the hours are 7pm until midnight. My concern is that DD8 will not last beyond 9pm. I'm planning on it being a relaxing day and hopefully I can get her to rest for a few hours in the afternoon, but I doubt it. She tends to go all out during the day and when she's ready to crash, she pretty much will put her head down anywhere. Usually, with very little warning. How odd would it be to rent a stroller for her and do they even come in different sizes? She's tall for her age, but thin. I just want to make sure that it's a fun evening for all of us.

I would like to know if this christmas party ever sells out? I only want to wait a couple more weeks to purchase my tickets and I am hoping this will not be to long!!!

From what I have read is that they can sell out espically if it gets closer to the last one and if the parties are on the weekend. That is when the locals go.

Just booked our PS for LTT for Dec 9th. Had choices of 4:15 or 6:30. Called the 1-407939-7707 number and had no problem. Told CM that this was on the bottom of the information that came with the tickets. Want to have this one and also possibly changing to one of the others 90 days out. Is it worth it to try to change to either CP or Tony's or should I just stick with this one?

Got our tickets in the mail yesterday for Dec 12! We have LTT at 5:05.

Tammi, we had similar concerns with our boys 10 and 7 last year. We had a "forced nap" in the afternoon. By laying down with them we actually got them to sleep a little (never happens ordinarily) and they lasted until 11PM! Worth a try.

Excuse me, but where do we buy these tickets in advance?

Go here:
MVMCP tickets
Click on "special events" and it is on that page. Or you can call Disney directly

 

[earldale97]

I am new to this, when you make ps are you paying in advance or is it just a reservation-no charge? Are these easy to cancel or change?

I am concerned if I make ps for 5:30 then won't be able to get in the gate with my party only ticket?

Should I be concerned?

 

[GoofyJoofy]

It depends on the restaurant/event you are booking.

If you are just making a dinner (or lunch or breakfast) reservation, then no you do not get charged, even if you don't show up.

If you book something like a character meal (Cinderella's Royal Table, Hoop-Di-Doo Review, Fantasmic dinner package, etc.) then yes you are charged whether you show up or not.

If (when) you book the MVMCP, you would be charged for the tickets.

Hope this helps

I just made ps for Dec 16th at LTT. Whoever says that there sold out must be wrong, I had my choice of times. The new CM's don't seem to keep up with things very well.

 

[nisiemouse]

Shannon 1219: What time did you get? I have tried three times for Dec 16th and each time they say sold out. I will try again. Thanks for posting.

We will be attending the November 30th MVMCP!! This will be our second party. I loved the first one, but wasnt organized enough to get to see everything we wanted. This time will be even better!! Im excited!! We wont be eating at LTT either. Our plans are to hang out at the pools at the Dolphin, and maybe even the beach there if the weather is nice. We ate at Tony's Town Square before the MVMCP in 02, and it was great food, but bad planning on my part. I made PS so we would be just getting out into main street a bit before 7 when the party started and they started letting people in. I thought it would be dead on main street. Well boy was I wrong. We walked out of Tonys and into mass crowds that were already lined up 3 people deep on the street for the parade. We wanted to walk towards the castle,but as i was trying to take some pictures, my camera battery went dead. It was about 6:50, and I went to Exposition Hall for a battery, and the doors were locked until 7. I didnt know where else to get a battery for sure, so we waited.. and waited.. and waited.. and it was after 7 before they opened the doors ( this is a good piece of advice.. make sure your camera battery and camcorder tape are new.. and you have everything you need before the party!! everything is closed until 7 or a bit after). It was snowing on main street, and extremely crowded and I was just upset that nothing was going according to plan. We had a great time ( walking thru snow on main street was worth the entire price of the party) but honestly, we did more walking around trying to find something to ride or see that wasnt crowded or didnt already start. We went to get an early spot at the castle for the fireworks only to have them not work... ( more time wasted) we waited over 30 minutes for them to start ( but did get to see the castle show in the mean time) they kept doing the beginning but nothing would happen.... then we ended up sitting there waiting for the 2nd parade ( loved it!!!) I think they showed the fireworks at 11:30 that night, and then we just left ( back on main street in the snow..woohoo) Although we really didnt get to see any of the special shows, we did fill up on hot cocoa and cookies, and walked around looking for characters, we did have a really fun time.. it was so festive!! I was much better prepared for the MNSSHP last October so this MVMCP will be even better!! I'll be prepared and be there at 4!!!!!
