We went to the Dec. 4th MVMCP. Our first, and it was fantastic! We are AP holders and went in about 4:30pm and got our party wristbands without problems. Double stroller was free and the CM said strollers are free for all MVMCP parties. Tried to head to Crystal Palace fort 5:00pm reservations. Boy, there was a very thick crowd leaving Magic Kingdom. There seemed to be tons of people that evening. It was so nice, weather-wise.
Well, after dinner (around 6:15 or 6:25pm). We headed back to the front of the theme park. My husband took my kids to take their picture with Santa (knew the Santa line would be long). I waited in the MVMCP pin line. These lines started forming around 6:20pm. The pin line is to the side of Exposition Hall (on the right). We got Tink pin for our MVMCP special pin. Plus, they were selling AP pin and jumbo Christmas pin. I broke down and bought all three. It was about 7:30 pm when we met up so decided to wait for the CMs to the plant the rope for the parade and got front row sidewalk view of the parade at 8:15pm near Exposition Hall. Then followed the end of the parade down Main Street. IT was snowing down Main Street (with music and christmas lights), so magical!
Then headed to Tomorrowland, party photo line was fine and wait was about 15-20 minutes. Get clipboards for each photo that you want a picture to be sent to. Limit of one pose per family (even if you have 3 tickets). There were 5 photo stations so the picture line moved quickly. Then stopped to view the fireworks in the sky. Next, saw the great show at Galaxy Theatre (right next to the Buzz Lightyear ride). Of course, after the show, we went twice on the Buzz ride with little wait. We ended the evening with each having 3 cups of hot chocolate and 1 sugar cookie at the Terrace Noodle Station. We left Magic Kingdom around 11:15pm.
Magical, Magical Time! Have fun everyone!

)! I was wondering? Does it only "snow" on Main street during the parades??
Can I ask one more? Please? 
What cool souvineers should I be looking for? 
Thanks!
Now it is supposed to get kind of chilly here next week - highs in the 60's and lows overnight in the 40's. So..bring you jackets and gloves. When the sun goes down it gets very cold (I think it is because it is so damp here). Also, dress in layers. It can feel very chilly in the mornings and evening but be remarkably warm (not exactly hot) during the day. Hope this helps..........
