MVMCP Dining

[eileenwarren]

Hi, Exactly what is MVMCP dining? Is it just regular dining at one of 3 restaurants that are available during the Christmas Party? I know a ticket is required to the Party. As I was just making a few dining reserations there was plenty of times available to BOG dinner and I was shocked. Just wanted to make sure it is regular dining and the Beast would also be there. I have never been to the MVMCP. Would a 6:55 reservation be good as I don't want to miss any major events going on. Not interested in meet and greets. Just want to see castle lighting, parades, fireworks. Is there a schedule of events by the hour anywhere for previous MVMCP

I wouldn't do a dinner that late. Remember BoG will be a prix fix with three courses, so I would think at least an hour to eat. You'd be missing prime party time that you paid for.

But, this site has a good run down of the times for everything last year: https://wdwprepschool.com/guide-to-mickeys-very-merry-christmas-party/

We did a 6:20 before MVMCP in 2016. Done by about 7:30 and did not miss any major events.

We usually book a 4:30 pm dinner so we have time beforehand to get our wristbands since we spend the day at MK and merchandise and then after dinner see the castle lighting. I would not waste any party time so would not recommend dinner past 6 pm at the latest.

I am guessing you must have the Christmas party ticket in order to do a 6:20 dining reservation or would you be able to eat and then leave?

I haven't seen anyone giving the cut off times yet, but with the park closing at 6:00, I'm pretty sure any ADR after 6:00 requires a party ticket. The way you can determine if you need a ticket or not, is to try to get an ADR on the regular dining page of the website. If it allows you to book it, then you're fine. Just be sure you're on the REGULAR page and not on the party dining page.
