MVMCP Entry Time???

[wdwpshyco]

I've seen posted that last year they let you in to MVMCP at 4:00. Will that information be posted somewhere for this year or do they let you know when you check in?

It was 4:00pm for MNSSHP this month, so it's a good bet MVMCP will be 4:00pm again. Someone will post it the first night.

4 was last years time and I am assuming they'll keep it the same. I'm positive we'll know for sure by the time the first one is over.

They are planning for 4pm again this year. The reason they changed it is because of the security bag check. If they let you start arriving at 4pm people will trickle in from 4-7. If they don't let anyone in until 7 then they will be slammed with way to many people than they can handle out front. Check back after the first one (or if you are going to the first one check with guest relations) as of right now the plan is 4pm.

Will the rides be operating at 4:00??

the park is open to the regular public til 6pm. Between 6 to 7 pm you either have to have ressies at Liberty Tree Inn or be in Fantasyland and you have to have your wristband for MVMCP.

Thanks, Bete.

Just to clarify, I have a more detailed question.

Our group will not have a regular ticket, we are only coming for the party. We do have a 5:20 reservation at LTT only because I thought that might give us a little extra time in the park after dinner (even if we could ride anything yet).

However, if we can show up around 4:00 and be let into the park without a PS to take pictures and such AND ride things in Fantasyland then I think we'd be crazy to waste time at a sit down meal.

We are going with friends (with 3 children 11, 6 & 4) who have never been to the MK and this night will be their only chance to see as much as they can.

What is your opinion?

I agree, but it can make for a long night without a meal. Plus the liberty tree is a great place to eat. If you were lucky enought to get a PS on a party night, I would keep it.

Last year for MVMCP and this year for MNSSHP, Tomorrowland was the place to be for party ticketholders between 6:00 & 7:00. All of the park is open as usual before 6:00. We got there about 4:30 last year, it gave us time to ride without long lines.

Hi!

I can not answer the question about the 4 pm time but looks like other poster are pretty sure that the entry time is going to be 4pm again this year.

Last year we entered about 4 p.m. The turnstiles on the far RIGHT were for those that were going to MVMCP. CM will direct you towards these turnstiles and they have the MVMCP banner above this set of turnstiles at this time.

At the turnstile a wristband is placed on your wrist.

About 6 pm (little before) CM begin to check the guests wrists. Those with the wristband are directed towards Tommorland. All others are ushered out of the park.

The rides in Tomorrowland attractions were open for the MVMCP guests from 6-7pm.

LTT meal is in my opinion defiently worth the experience. The ressies for the LTT character meal prior/during MVMCP are highly coveted. I would suggest that you keep this ressie.

Have fun and have a great time Sharing the Joy!

FYI: LTT was booked when I called but they are also using Crystal Palace for MVMCP dinner. Again--I thought having dinner would give us an "edge" on the crowd. If not, we may eat in our condo/late lunch and join the party at 4.

One thought after reading your post. I was at the party last year and went to the Plaza for dinner around 5PM with my group after entering at 4PM. It was really nice to be able to sit down and relax a bit while everyone else was being ushered out. The plaza was quick but still a nice sit-down and by the time we left the day parkers had cleared out and we had Tomorrowland to ourselves (it was a bit crowded at 5PM). We also ran into a number of people walking around looking for a place to eat. They were actually a bit miffed because the Plaza wasn't open (they took their last table at 5 or 5:30) and they were having a hard time finding somewhere to go. The only thing we are doing different this year is eating at 4:30 at the Cindys and we too are only going to the party this year.
