[mom2rtk]

How do people know this already? I was looking forward to taking my picture with Scrooge!

The (very) preliminary and subject to change, character list was posted on the web site of fellow Dis'er Berlioz70:

Thanks for this great thread! Can anyone confirm what time the fireworks that take place during the party will be? We've been to 2 MVMCP but it was in 2008 and I don't remember. TIA!

I've updated the first post with preliminary entertainment times.

Hi Berloiz70! I am so excited about MVMCP. It will be my 5th time! I have read a couple of different people stating different times for the Holiday Wishes...I have seen 930pm and 10pm. Have you heard that as well or are your sources still saying 930?

BTW I hope you are right, I have a Cali Grill res one of the party nights and cannot wait to see Holiday Wishes from the vantage point!

 

[Berlioz70]

I did hear some talk that some times were changing this year, but the last list I saw said 9:30. I can't speak to how accurate that is unfortunate.

On party nights, Holiday Wishes has been "unofficially" listed on this site at 9:30 PM and the parade will be at 8:15 and 10:30 PM. The WDW website doesn't officially post the party fireworks and parade times or a character list. Thank goodness for the DIS and sites like Allears. (and of course CMs giving us the inside tip! )

The week of Christmas, you can catch Holiday Wishes at 10 PM every evening with regular park entry. Also, Mickey's Once Upon A Christmastime Parade is at 3:00 PM daily.

Thanks for this thread. I've signed up for on MVMCP and was thinking about adding another (mainly because of balancing seeing the characters, shows, parades, fireworks, which I did a few years back at MNSSHP and worked great.) But I'm disappointed that Scrooge looks out (he was the one of the main reasons I wanted to go) and if the princes might be out too I'm really hesitant to add an extra party night.

 

[Berlioz70]

I wouldn't worry about the princes. They are back on the MNSSHP list and I've always had them listed on my MVMCP list as well.

First trip during the Christmas season. Looking forward to the tips and the early posters who attend the parties to keep us informed. Thanks for the thread.

 

[Berlioz70]

No problem!! I'm also looking forward to those first posters as I'm not sure yet if I want to attend.

We will be at Epcot the morning of the Party we plan on attending. If we have Park Hoppers can we get in earlier then 4 we have ADR's for Crystal Palace at 3:30. HELP!!!!!

Of course you can.

Have fun!

Just about two months until the first party!!

 

[shalexmom]

I just bought tickets to the first night of MVMCP!! I'm so excited!!

 

[JenniJ]

Question:
We only have tickets for the event that day, no park tickets. When can a non-park ticket guest get into the MK for the party? I have read in diffrent thread that you can get in early at 4pm nad in some that you have to wait til 7pm when the party officially starts.
This info will help with what we plan for the day/afternoon.
Thanks.

In year's past, party goers have been let in at 4. (I've been to 3 Halloween parties and always in the gate by 4) This is not official and, of course, Disney can change this at any time. The tickets and sites say 7. There were rumors this would be the time this year. Wait til we see what they do with the Halloween party goers. That will give you the best idea of what will happen for the Christmas party.

 

[mom2rtk]

Others posted on a thread about MNSSHP that they had email correspondence from Disney confirming they can get in at 4 this year again.

 

[Berlioz70]

I agree - 4pm is the expectation! CMs would go crazy if they were trying to clear the park at the same time the party Guests were entering.
