We went December 6-9th last year and MVMCP was full but not too crowded. There are many shows going on so we did not go on very many rides( maby two). The shows are wonderful and very festive. We even missed a few little children shows. It only snows on main street during the parade and we did not know that and missed the snow.because wew were in Frontierland. Get your picture done early because the line gets long. We had it done where the The Timekeeper use to be. Cookies and hot chocolate are served in a few locations we had them at the Plaza Restaurant .
