MVMCP 2002

[figmentvi]

LOL Nancy.....I just talked to my other DD, Meggan, and asked if the 3rd would be ok since we'll be travelling that day and may be tired. She replied......"So ???? Like we're not going to be exhausted the rest of the time there?"

I figured MVMCP would be a great way to start off our trip.

 

[December99]

OMG OMG OMG....this is VERY exciting!!!!!! Now I have to decide which one I want to do....the 3rd or the 8th.....OH I HATE DECISIONS!!!!!!!!

Okay, one thing since I've not had the opportunity to do this...do people basically go to the add on restaurant or just eat as they want????

 

[December99]

One more question...was this something that WASN'T included last year with DISCon and would we have any idea if there is a chance they are looking at adding this as an event???? I don't want to pay for it and then it also be included in DISCon.

 

[NancyIL]

Chris - MVMCP wasn't part of Dis-Con last year, and I don't expect it to be this year, either. The add-on dinner is new this year. A lot of DISers ate at the Crystal Palace before the party last year.

 

[December99]

Thanks Nancy....

I need to confirm possibly with my Dec 3 and 8th roomies and see what they were wanting to do.....

But I'm thinking the 3rd sounds like fun!!!!! I've never done this and have wanted to. I wonder if I can book and then cancel if needed. I would think so.

 

[NancyIL]

The MVMCP tickets are non-refundable. I don't know if the dinner option can be dropped, but I know that the Candlelight Processional (Epcot) dinner package was refundable in the past.

 

[CarolA]

Right now I vote for the 3rd. However, when are we doing Cirque?

HELP! Patrick we need a plan.

Ray we need a list!

 

[Pixie Power!]

Your right we need a list, i thought that there was something else happening on the 3rd so i chose the 8th. I need to plan and get my passporter out i think. I dont want to double book DATW night

Emma

 

[December99]

Yes...I think we need just a list with date and item so that we have something quick to look at. I love Ray's thread but there's a lot of info to sift through there. Perhaps that scaled down into a single list would be great as I don't want to miss anything either. I think I'm shooting for the 8th also since I'll have a couple of days to recoup after DISCon and I don't want to start out TOO tired (I know I won't sleep the night before I leave!!!! )

 

[Patinmn]

Please do not do anything for the night of the 3rd, I have something already planned for that evening...Please, please , please chose another night. I will explain everything when I am able.

 

[Pixie Power!]

I alway do as im told Patinmn So the 8th is fine by me.


Emma

 

[December99]

I need to know if you all are going to do the dinner or just the MVMCP package?? I don't want to book the dinner if no one else is going to and I don't want to miss eating with you all on my last night if you are going to do the dinner...so can I butt in and do whatever the Dec 8thers are going to do????

 

[NancyIL]

Patrick - when are you planning to reveal your surprise?

 

[RaySharpton]

I don't know what days that I am going to go to MVMCP. I would like to go on the day(s) that all of you guys are going.

When I get off work December 1st, I'll fly down...maybe rest a few hours...and then hopefully be able to go with everyone to a late afternoon and evening DIS mini-meet.

Monday, December 2nd is open, too.

Tuesday, December 3rd, may be an extra day to start DIS-CON. I don't know for sure.

Then the next five days, December 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8th have been pretty well set by Pete. Those days I'll have to wait and see what the initial, official itinerary includes for those days.

Last year, on the last day of the convention...which was a Sunday morning...a bunch of us decided to end the last day by buying tickets to MVMCP for our last night together. A lot of people left the next day on Monday morning.

December 8th is also a Sunday and the last day of the Convention and is probably why everyone is talking about going on that day...this is just a guess...and everyone is just thinking out loud.

I don't think that MVMCP tickets are going to sell out anytime soon.

Then everyone thought that it would be nice to eat inside the MK and stay inside the MK before the MVMCP started.

A lot of us had two huge sections of tables at the MK Crystal Palace restaurant and had a great time. A few others made plans at the smaller Liberty Tree Tavern.

I think that it was luvdsny and disneycub and Barb that made rather large Priority Seatings for us at Crystal Palace.

This is the first year that I recall them adding an add-on to MVMCP.

As far as December 1st, 2nd, and maybe the 3rd there are so many things to do.

1. MVMCP
2. Cirque du Soleil
3. Hoop-Dee-Doo Review
4. Christmas Processional at EPCOT.
5. Osborne Spectacle of Lights at MGM.
6. Fantasmic.
7. Illuminations.
8. Jellyrolls.
9. Karaoke at the Swan's Kimonos

All these are evening events.

So keep asking questions.
And it's O.K. to change your minds.
But I would wait awhile before buying tickets unless you can get a refund or that you and your family ar definitely going.


I know that I want to do everything.

But, speaking for myself...I want to share time again with my friends...luvdsny and Barb and lowellsdad and Disneycub and DumboOrBust and Smee and Sandra B. and Towncrier and Patrick and Carol A. and Dan Murphy and the list goes on and on.

And yhen I want to meet all the new DISers.

It'll all work out.

But it will also change a lot, too.

O.K., I'll stop now, lol!!! I just woke up after working all week-end.

Sincerely, RaySharpton

Since Pete's last comments about the convention were that it would begin Dec. 4th, I'm going to MVMCP on the 3rd. For those who purchase the add-on dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern - you still have to call back 60 days before to make your PS.

 

[December99]

Nancy...someone on the Theme Parks board called, got their tickets and did the add-on and already had their time for dinner. Just an fyi.

 

[NancyIL]

Hmmm...the person who bought my MVMCP ticket with dinner add-on was told to call back in October!

 

[December99]

I'm seeing alot of confusion over on the TPB - some people are being told to call back and some are being given their PS. One was given a PS with a credit card to hold and another was given a PS without needing a credit card to hold....you might want to have them call back if you want the dinner and see if they will book it!! I guess it doesn't hurt anyway!! Hate to see you end up not getting a PS if you wanted one. It's really kind of confusing...but this is what happened with the Candlelight Processional last year too...or similar...when they released the tickets for sale.

 

[figmentvi]

I just called WDW back and did indeed get a 5:40 PS for LTT. So if anyone is told that they have to call back in Oct., tell them others are getting their PS's now.

 

[December99]

I think I've made my decision - Dec 8th with the add-on dinner. Now just trying to decide when I'm going to call. Do they charge this directly to your CC when you call? For both the tickets and dinner?
