MVMCP Facts-Just Back

[Eeyore2003]

Not sure if this was posted before, but some of these things I didn't know and when I left there were still questions about them-

You don't need a dinner reservation to get in early. They started letting people in at 4:00 with tickets on the far right side of the entrance to MK. They gave you bands at that time too. If you are in the park, you can get your bands somewhere in the "hub", and all you have to do is go to Tomorrowland from the time the park closes til the party starts.

The picture place in Tomorrowland was working when we got over there at about 6:00 and we got our picture taken before the rides even started.

The rides in Tomorrowland started about 6:30.

I was under the impression from what was stated here that the parade didn't start til the middle of the month. The parade is alive and well and running twice during the night.

We had a great time. We weren't really trying to do much, but ended up literally walking on to everything. They were even sending empty cars through Space Mountain and empty logs through Splash Mountain. We did Buzz about 4 times in a row. "Wishes" was fantastic. We stood right next to the statue of Walt and Mickey and it was perfect. The only thing hubby decided they needed was to blow in some "REALLY" cold air and pile up some nice dirty snow and slush on the side of Main Street. THAT would be a realistic Christmas!!!

Actually, we were there on Dec. 5 and we rode Space Mtn. at 6 and 6:15. After 6, the cast member at the front was only letting people with wristbands on. We also got in at 4 and I wouldn't have known that we could without the help of these boards. Thanks everyone!

We went on the 4th and that probably happened our night too. I just know that by the time we got done with pictures at about 6:30 the rides were running. And they were checking bands for us too for that first while. It was an anniversary vacation just for us too!!! We had such a nice time and were so worried we wouldn't know what to do without kids. It's right up there tied with one of my favorite times!!!

Closer to Christmas the Christmas parade becomes the regular daytime parade. Until then the Christmas parade can only be seen during MVMCP.

We noticed the first showing of Mickey's Night Before Christmas show (in Tomorrowland's Galaxy Theatre) was at 6:15, before MVMCP officially starts at 7. Since all MVMCP guests are supposed to be in Tomorrowland between 6 and 7 anyway, that's a good time to see this show.
