MVMCP - Which Characters and Where? (Please Post Pics)

[LadyDuchess]

For Snow White/Belle, last year, the line moved notoriously slow -- and when I say this, I mean it. Early in the night, we got in line to meet Snow White/Prince, but by the time we got near to the front, they switched out with Belle/Beast. So we decided to try again later.

When we came back later in the night, Belle/Beast had just come out; so we decided to get in line again, because since the line moved so slowly, Snow White would probably be out when I got up to the front. The line moved SO SLOWLY (and it wasn't really that long of a line), that by the time we were second in line, Belle/Beast were coming out AGAIN to replace Snow White.

I don't know if everyone was exchanging life stories with the princesses or what, but this was by far the most ridiculous wait for characters I've ever witnessed.

I got lucky, though, and a CM took pity on us and made arrangements for us to meet her without wasting another hour+ in line, so I was very thankful for that. I owe that CM a good portion of my sanity.

So I don't know if this was just a crazy night or what, but just because a certain princess is out and/or the CM operating the line says you're in the line to meet so-and-so, you could still get either one.

Thanks for the awesome reconnaissance from the field!

A couple of burning questions:

1) Belle/the Beast switch off with Snow White and her prince. Will you know when you get in line who you will see? Or do they just switch whenever and you get who you get????

2) Does anyone know if Belle's Storytime is the same one they do during the day, but just with Belle in her red jacket? Is it actually a different story or anything???

Thanks! I'm so excited we're going to the party for the first time on the 16th, and will be back again on the 18th!

1. They change every 30 minutes. Depending on how long the line is, you may be able to see which characters are currently out. But just a warning- if the line is long you may not see the characters you got in line for.

2. I'm pretty sure it is a different story.

The 21st of Dec was the coldest night for us last year. And we stood in the line for Snow and her prince, Belle and Beast were out. As we inched slowly closer the kids behind us kept hoping for Belle and we kept hoping for Snow. We were finally next. When the line CM came up to say just one more family for Belle and then Snow would be out, we quickly offered to trade places.

Everyone was happy and I highly recommend that you chat with others in line to see what their preferences may be. You might be able to switch with another family at that last moment

Great info and suggestions! Thanks! Any chance we can wait through the line and just keep letting people pass us until Belle comes back out??????

One more question: Is the Cinderella coach photo op out for the Christmas party? Is it near the Belle/Snow White photo op????

 

[kadesha]

Where is that tree lot?

 

[MUDisneyCouple]

Good info! Can't wait to get a pic with Scrooge and Sleeping Beauty/Phillip!!! Keep those pics coming!!!!

 

[Joanna71985]

Where is that tree lot?

I believe it is over in between Pooh's Playground and the Teacups.

 

[Amy_Callaghan]

This is a picture I took last year of my kids with Snow White & her Prince.
I have more and will post them.

 

[WeatherbySwann]

Correct. Minnie was in her Gazebo and Mickey was in his living room by the Christmas Tree..

Ooh, so they actually let people "in" Mickey's living room, not just in front of those gates?

 

[HugsForEeyore]

Ohhh, nice photos! But sadly once again (and again and again and again), there is no character variety and no randomness to the parties. Pretty much the same characters year after year after year. Every party has become a predictable clone. I keep hoping Disney would shake them up and add something new, but nope. oh well.

I was there last night and these were the characters that were out... I also checked with a CM and she let me see her list also...
*Cinderella and Prince Charming (Toontown) - YES
*Prince Philip and Princess Aurora (Toontown) - YES
*Mickey and Minnie- holiday outfits (Toontown) - YES at their houses
*Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore (Fantasyland) - NO Around the beginning of the parade, probably 30 minutes before it started, Pooh and Eeeyore were near the front of the park, on the left hand side next to the restrooms. This was the only time we were at the front of the park during the party, so I don't know if they switched with anyone
*Snow White and Snow Prince (Fantasyland) - YES rotated with Belle & Beast
*Belle (red dress) and Beast (suit)- Fantasyland - YES rotated with S. White
*Scrooge (Fantasyland) - YES rotated with Donald Duck at Tree Farm
*Donald Duck (Fantasyland) - YES rotated with Scrooge at Tree Farm
*Alice and Mad Hatter (Fantasyland) - NO Yes, in front of the tea cups, in "winter" theme (Alice had a cape, Mad Hatter had a scarf)
*Queen of Hearts (Fantasyland) - NO Yes, in front of tea cups. She switched with Alice
*Tweedle Dee and Dum (Fantasyland) - NO Yes, they switched with the Mad Hatter. Saw them once with Mad Hatter, another time with the queen. Couldn't tell if they were changing on a schedule or not
*Woody (Frontierland) - YES
*Jessie and Bullseye (Frontierland) - YES
*Aladdin and Jasmine (Adventureland) - NO
*Abu and Genie (Adventureland) - NO
*Hook and Smee (Adventureland - YES

The Fairies WERE there and the wait time was 30 mins when we were at the Princesses around 8:45pm.
We never made it to Adventureland or Frontierland during the party

I put my thoughts in purple, just to give a heads up.

Have fun, we had a blast. Florida weather can be tricky, so it's way to early to know if it's going to rain on the 20th. We live about an hour away from Disney, and it looked like it was going to rain all day. I had a very angry three year old who could not understand why I kept telling her to close up her sandbox, since it "felt" like it was going to rain. It sprinkled for about .5 seconds today. Even when the sky is dark, and a couple of drops fall, it can't be guaranteed to rain. Gotta love Florida!

Yay thanx for posting pics

Besides Cinderella and Aurora, who else was in the tent?

Belle was on the hour and switched at the 1/2 hour with Snow White
we did not go to Belle's Storytime so I can't report on that.

I can not wait to go again! It was worth every penny!

 

[princess_disneymom]

Could you please tell me exactly where you see Belle and Santa.
Santa's spot was listed on the 2007 map but not the 2008 and where I thought Belle would be is not a spot on the 2008 map.
TIA and Happy Holidays!!

Belle's location is NOT On the map. It's by It's a Small World (back in the corner).
Santa is right off of Main Street by the entrance. You can't miss him

Those were the only two in the tent. I know they usually have 3 princesses but only 2 that night.

I was told when I went to MNSSHP that Big Al from Country Bear Jamboree would be out during the MVMCP. Has anyone seen him yet?

 

[LadyEMT]

We went on Tues Nov 11 and all the Country Bears were out, near Pecos Bills.

Also, all the Alice characters were out signing autographs and taking pics next to the Mad Tea Party (and when we were leaving, we saw some of them RIDING the ride, lol).

We saw Peter Pan and Wendy playing in the POTC gift shop area. All the others characters people mentioned, such as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Chip and Dale, and the princesses and Princes were in their usual places. We attended the Dance Party in the Fantasyland area with Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters, and it was a blast. I love attneding the MVMCP because the wait times for characters are so much shorter, plus I feel as though they are more loose and do more ad libbing..

*Cinderella and Prince Charming (Toontown)

I have a question. Do they sign autograph books at Xmas or not like at Halloween

 

[LadyEMT]

From what I saw, they were signing books. My dd is 13 and was mortified at me even pointing out all the characters (*sigh*) and would have disowned me if I had my pic taken with any, even tho she herself is a rabid fan of Alice in Wonderland.

 

[Joanna71985]

Yes they do (with the exception of Bullseye and Beast, who can't sign).
