MVMCP questions

[MinniMama]

Is the parade during the party the same one at 3:00 during Decmeber? Also what is the earliest time can you enter the park using just your party ticket? I thought I read they let you in around 4:00 but I was not sure anyone been also any tips for getting the most out of the party? Also do they sell special merchandise T-shirts and where do they sell it? thanks I am so excited to be going!

The Christmas Parade takes the place of the 3:00 parade starting December 21. Before then it's the regular Share a Dream Come True Parade at 3:00.

You can enter with just your MVMCP ticket after 4:00pm. In past years they sold the party merchandise & pins at the Emporium on Main Street and at Mickey's Star Traders in Tomorrowland, not sure if there are additional locations.

Have a great time!

Are you sure it is 4:00 they told me 6:30 when I called the disney line

I just bought my tickets and was told they let you in at 7. People posting here say they will let you in at 4.

To clarify, officially the party starts at 7:00. Disney could very well decide to not let people in until then. However, the gates have been open to all the "7:00" Halloween and Christmas parties for at least the past few years at 4:00. And by open, I don't mean the CM's will frown at you and grudingly let you in. I mean they have big signs up at 4:00 saying Party Guests Enter Over Here!! Welcome!

The first party is tonight, hopefully someone will report back if the 4:00 admission has changed. They started doing this after 9/11 when they added the security checks. Can you imagine the mess if everyone was coming through security at 7:00?

Yes, you can get into the park at 4:00pm with you MVMCP ticket. The 3:00pm Share a Dream Come True parade changes to the same parade shown at MVMCP after the last party date passes. The MVMCP merchandise does not go on sale until 7:00pm because they have to purge the park of day guests and then spend the following hour setting up the merchandise. You must be wearing a MVMCP wristband to purchase the MVMCP merchandise. The special pins that they release for each night's party will be sold at Exposition Hall and the Frontierland Trading Post. There is a limit of two pins per wristband. Any pins left over from the previous night's parties will be available at Uptown Jewelers and they are limited to two of each per wristband. There is a special publicly available jumbo pin that is limited one per wristband. Have fun! Maggie

Anyone go last night and what time could you enter?

Went to the first night of the MVMCP on 11/27. If you were in the park, you could get your wrist ban around 4pm (that's what my family did). My inlaw's were able to get into the MK at 4pm with the ticket. They do sell special event t-shirts on main street, you can ONLY get them the night of the party.

My family had a GREAT TIME! My kids loved the parade (8:15 & 10:45). I really liked the fireworks with the special "Wishes" music!
