December 15th
2 adults, 2 kids
Need opinions on our ADR though. This will be our "rest day". We are planning to sleep till whenever in the am, then resort hop to check out decorations.
-Currently have a Sanaa lunch at 1:00
-Then plan to check out the decorations at the monorail resorts
-Then head to FW for a 6:15 HDDMR dinner.
My question is: How long does HDDMR usually take start to finish? I know the 3 daily shows are spaced 2 hours apart. But I figure they shouldn't be anymore than 1~1.5 hours each which would put us back at MK at around 7:45~8:00. Would we be missing any events at the MVMCP if this is all accurate. I've never been so I'm not sure how early the party events/shows get started. Any advice from people familiar with the party times would be greatly appreciated!
We very much want to do HDDMR this day so I'm trying to find the best way to fit it in our schedule. Should I drop the Sanaa lunch and try to book the 4:15 dinner at HDDMR?
TIA.
Thanks much. I didn't even consider looking for last year's schedule. That helps a lot. I decided to drop the Sanaa lunch and switched to the 4:15 HDDMR.I was looking at the schedule from last year. Here's what it looked like:
- A Frozen Holiday Wish, 6:15 p.m., 8 p.m.
- Mickey's Once Upon a Christmastime Parade 8:15 p.m., 10:30 p.m.
- Celebrate the Magic 9:15 p.m.
- Holiday Wishes—Celebrate the Spirit of the Season 9:30 p.m.
- A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas 7:45 p.m., 8:45 p.m., 9:55 p.m., 10:50 p.m., 11:45 p.m.
Assuming the times are about the same, if you arrived at 8pm, you might miss Elsa freezing the castle, but you'd probably be able to see everything else (probably the later parade?). We're planning on arriving at 4pm for the party night. If I was in your shoes, I'd probably choose the 4:15 HDD and go to the party after that.
