Where is the family photo taken? Sounds to me like that's what can take the most time & I'd like to get it out of the way ASAP so that we can enjoy the remainder of the evening.
Do not and I repeat DO NOT get your photo first - the lines are long and you will wait forever - if you are in the park, go over to tomorrow land and go into the theater that is past Buzz Light Year. The show there is FABULOUS and hard to get a seat later on. It is the best show there. Each year later on in the night, the people are practically begging you to get your photo taken. You can even get it taken several times at different booths!
You can get your pictures taken during the first parade - no lines - the second parade is less crowded.
I agree don't get your picture done first. It was packed at the Hall of Presidents when we first got there. We went back during the first parade. We didn't wait at all. We walked right in and had our picture done. We went to the second parade which was not as packed either. My niece and nephew fell asleep but the christmas parade was shown last December again during the day on Friday after MVMCP so we took them to that parade.
I noticed that there are several special shows listed on the MVMCP itinerary. Are any of these shows the same as the shows that are staged during regular MK hours?
