MVMCP meet & greets

[magical-me]

I'm going to MVMCP mid November.... and just wondering how many meet & greets seems like an achievable number to get in before the end of the party?

Def. need to meet Jack Skellington & the Disney princesses with their princes. Is it doable with all the parades and stuff?

I've only done Mickey's Halloween Party in Cali a couple of time an i find some the waits so long...

best bet is to subscribe to Kenny the Pirate's Character Locator. he'll tell you the best way to fit in the meets you want, in what order and how much you can accomplish.

I second the vote for Kenny.

Enter the park early, as close to 4PM as you can. Jack usually starts before the party, one year he came out around 5PM.

Two years ago my adult DD and I did Jack/ Sandy Claws pre-party, both sets of princesses with princes, Peter Pan and Wendy, Dwarfs, second parade, fireworks, and a few other meets-- Mary and Bert, penguins, maybe Tink?

I didn't have KtP then, but I do now and think his party plans are pretty good.

Have fun!

Your current list is very doable in a single night
To maximize time, be sure to meet Jack before the party starts. I usually get the Dwarfs in early, though some prefer waiting until the end of the night.

Whichever prince set you pick first, join their line before the party starts so you can be through as quickly as possible (the line for Phillip/Snow Prince seems to average 60 minutes. Flynn/Naveen is similar, if not closer to 45 minutes depending on the time of night. Charming/Cinderella line is generally much shorter

Do you want to watch the fireworks from the front of the castle? If not, use that time to be in line for/near other character meets.

For the stage show - how close do you want to be to the stage? The closer you are, the earlier you are going to want to grab a spot.

Parade - Go for the second time to find lower crowds closer to stepoff

If those are your goals, they can easily be done in an evening with more than enough time to grab treats.



In a dedicated evening, I've been able to meet at least half of the characters if not more, watch a parade, a stage show, and fireworks

Do you happen to know if the dwarfs start meeting before 7pm or at 7? I also wanted to meet them early in the party.

In past years they often began meeting before 7, but not as early as Jack
During multiple parties in multiple years I have been able to meet both groups before 7pm

What time do lines start forming for Jack? Am I correct that he now meets in Liberty Square where Tiana usually is? I know he used to meet in Fantasyland under the tent, but I thought I saw somewhere that he had moved.

I’d choose one honestly if you don’t want about 1/2 of your time in line for a photo.

Thanks for tips! Do the Princesses and Princes switch off with another pair? If there’s that many I kinda want to meet them all xD

The line tends to start forming about 4. He does meet in Liberty Square where Tiana used to meet (she stopped meeting there about a year and a half ago) and where Mary now meets.

Nope. It's 1 line for 2 couples - Snow/Prince and Aurora/Phillip are outside, Rapunzel/Flynn and Tiana/Naveen are on one half of the hall, and Cinderella/Charming and Elena are on the other


One unknown is if Eric and Ariel will meet since they are currently at the halloween parties near Ariels ride

Ohhh awesome! Thanks. Do u think 1 Christmas party is enough? I was thinking 2 days, but not sure yet

It really depends on how much you want to do. I did 2 parties the first time in order to meet everyone and see all the shows I wanted to. But if your goal isn't "do everything" then 1 night will be fine

We did 2 parties so we could meet all the special characters as DD loves meeting the characters. As well as see the parade, FW and the holiday shows. As far as the list definitely get in line at 4 for Jack as soon as your meet is over head toward the princesses. We did the Rapunzel first and then the ones out front and did Cindy during first parade and watched the 2nd parade after the FW.

ETA: We definitely loved KTP for our trip.

My sister and I are currently trying to find out who we want to meet. We want the 7 Dwarfs, Princes (minus Charming) , Nick & Judy and Scoorage. We don't plan to watch the fireworks only the 2nd parade and one of the stage shows. No rides just characters and shows. Hoping they have a map and official meet and greets listed soon.
