OFFICIAL 2010 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP) Tips and Tricks

[mymouse]

Can anyone tell me if the Rusty Cutlass Pirate Band still play at MVMCP? It appears that, as recently as last year, they played MVMCP. Thanks!

I saw them outside of Pirates on 11-16-10.

Do you think the party for this sunday will be crowded, since it is a weekend? This is the day we are going. Has anyone gone on a Sunday in the past? My thought was it may not be busy since there is school on Monday.

In previous years, we found the Sunday party of Thanksgiving weekend was still pretty crowded as folks extended their holiday one more day. This is why we're waiting until Tuesday.

Bummer.... We will still have fun though. It was really the only day we would go anyway. Our budget only allows 5 days of PH tickets so attending the party is like having a bonus day!

If traveling to the party via bus from a resort, leave EARLY! We were staying at POP and the bus coral was full at 4:00 going to the park, seems most people know they start the party early.

Just FYI, after five days, it's only about $5 a day to add days to your tickets, which is much less than the cost of MVMCP. Unless you just want to attend the party, adding days would be easier on your budget.

We wanted to attend the party but did want to pay $15 to extend our tickets. That's a souvenir we could buy. Plus, this is the 1st time going deluxe and probably the last! So, we want to enjoy the resort, AKL, baby!! Who Hoo! 3 days!

AKL is beautiful! We surprised our daughter with a week long stay for her Sweet 16. She had always wanted to stay there and they were doing a special where we were able to pay for 4 nights with 3 free- which was the only way we could afford it. She cried when she found out we were staying there. Enjoy it!

I'm sure this has been asked but out of 12-12 and 12-14 which night would be the best for mvmcp?

Can you explain this a little further about adding days to your tickets? You mean you can add them after they've been purchased?

Yes, you can upgrade your ticket (with certain conditions, of course). Check out the tickets FAQ sticky here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1452684

OK, quick question (this thread is too long to read right now)...we're headed down on 12/5 for MVMCP and a visit to The World. I purchased tix through DVC (stupid me, I should have bought them with our AP discount). Anyway, where do I pick them up @ will call? Is this only available through the TTC, or are there tix locations @ MK? Our last several trips have either been onsite, so we have KTTW cards, or through the TTC for our 10/07 trip.

Are Belle and Beast in Toontown switching with Snow and Prince or are they switching with Snow and Dwarfs at old skyway/stroller parking? Thanks in advance for your reply. I am a kindergarten teacher and I collect these photos for my classroom. Belle with Beast is tops on my wish list.

They are in Toontown and they do switch out. Ask the character handler for help in the timing. Happy hunting!

There is a Guest Service location to the right of the and before the turnsiles at the Magic Kingdom where you can pick up your will call tickets.

You'll have virtually no lines at TTC if you get them there. Looking at TTC go middle and look to the left. Most head straight to Magic Kingdom then start looking where to pick them up.

They asked for photo ID and the confirmation #. But when I took too long to produce the confirmation # I had printed off the computer, they found it on theirs. Have fun!

DVC and AP Discount are the same price, so don't worry.

Yes.

Several of us have guessed but not confirmed that the princesses (and princes) do 45-minute sets there, with Belle leading off at 7 and alternating with Snow every 45. The other 2 (Cindy and Aurora) are constant.

You should have gotten a DVC discount.
