I'm really excited! This will be our first MNSSHP! I just REALLY want Disney to release the what day the tickets will be coming out so I don't have to worry about not getting the day I want!

With that said, does anyone know what TIME Disney usually releases tickets like this?

As in hours and minutes? Hmmm, don't think I've ever read that before!

According to the Disney Parks Blog, the first recorded comment was made at 10:33am on May 5th 2016 so I would guess the announcement was released at 9am. Link:

I know it sounds silly! But, my motivation for this questions comes from people planning and making reservations with certain packages such as "Free Dining" as early as 4am day of release to make sure they get what they want.

If I go to another park in the morning and use my FP does this mean I can use mnsshp to get 3 more FP to use before 6:30? Thank you

Only if you purchase your MNSSHP tickets under a different name.

That's entirely different. Those packages are typically limited unlike the party tickets. You could wait two to three months before buying a ticket. They simply don't sell out like FD/RO Discount packages. The first day to sell out was Oct 31 and that was on September 16, 2016 - almost 4 months out. Truly there is no rush, no need to stalk the boards or Disney's website to get them. Rest well.

Hello! This year will be our first MNSSHP! I am so excited! I have always wanted to do this party. We have done a previous Christmas party before. We are going Oct 9-13 and will be staying in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. I am so glad I found this forum. It is really informative and helpful. I am glad to know there are others out there who love Disney as much as we do!
Questions: How do I change my profile pic and how do I add those trip countdowns to the bottom of my posts? TIA!

I did not know this was a thing. I have a craft binder but not one for Disney, I don't think I'd have space in my bag but I am making a note pad into a bit of a check list/itinerary information in it. It's thin and light so I'll be easy to take to the parks. Now you've said this, I think I'm going to have to decorate it a bit having seen images on google.

Disney Planning Binders are all the rage these days. Here are a couple of old thread links below. You can also search on YouTube and will find tons of videos.

There are a couple of great, but older, threads with pics on making your Disney binder. I prefer just buying one of the Disney-themed scrapbook pads and cutting full sheets to size. I have also done a couple where I take a Composition Book and cover it with Disney scrapbook paper and deocrate inside pages with stickers and paper. The first half of the book has my plans, then the back half becomes more of a scrapbook like the SmashBooks that were popular a few years back.

Here are a few links:

http://www.disboards.com/threads/planning-binder-book-pics.2461150/

Also, there is a section of the DisBoards where people will make free dividers and t-shirt designs etc. for you and you just print them at home.

And a whole scrapbooking forum too! - http://www.disboards.com/forums/scrapbooking.123/

It's not as simple as this.

We are planning on going on October 10th. We will be there for our honeymoon and have a few friends joining us. Never done this party but I'm excited!

That's our party date too! I'm hoping it won't be too busy with Columbus Day.

Don't you think the August tickets might actually sell out much quicker? I know I'm always an August vacationer (kids in school) and have never had the opportunity to go to a party before this year. I can't wait to get my tickets! And I've been reading various boards and it seems there's a LOT of people in the same boat. I have a feeling those first couple parties may sell much quicker than usual!

This is interesting, what else did you do? Did you create a new MDE account? Were you staying onsite or offsite? What was your booking window? How long ago did you do this? Did you use your Magic Band or the just Party Ticket to get on those rides? And lastly, did you have Memory Maker or One Day Memory Maker?

There's a post in FP+ that details how to make another acciunt to tie your party tix into to get another 3 FP. IMO it sounds quite complex and confusing

 

[MeghanEmily]

This thread explains the process of second sets of FP+ under another account, which is a similar thing. (https://www.disboards.com/threads/everything-sdfp-second-set-fp-long-faq.3520747/) I don't do this, and it's definitely complicated and not for the faint of heart, but some people use it with much success. I suspect, like they recommend with this technique, that you'd have to make a separate/phantom MDE account for everyone getting a party ticket and then link the party ticket to it and get FP associated with it.

Yes a lot of people use some form or another to store their information. I’ve seen some amazing Disney specific binders but I wanted something I could use for all my travels and a place to keep important information.

This is my Travel Binder I carry this in my backpack during flights and slide out what we need to check-in and board. I also place the checked baggage receipt inside for safe keeping. Once we arrive at our destination I take out what we need for the following day and lock the binder in my luggage. I would never carry this monster into the parks but some people do.

I chose to use Clear Top Loading Sheet Protectors with Tabs for Flight, Hotel, Tickets, Medical and Miscellaneous. I find it easier to print any documents then slide them in or out as needed. I can also store memorabilia that I don’t want bent like maps and photos.

I also use Ultra Pro Platinum 9-Pocket Sheet Protectors for gift cards, park tickets and membership cards. I created small envelopes to keep them from sliding out. These baseball card protectors are perfect for storing Sorcerer of the Magic Kingdom cards too.

And lastly I chose Heavy Duty Plastic Dividers to store our Daily Itineraries and other information based on our interests i.e. Pressed Penny Locations, Hidden Mickey’s and Historical Facts which are currently labeled in the order of our park day. I print three copies of each for DH, DS and myself.

After my trip I slide everything out, put it in a large manila envelope until I’m ready to scrapbook and then I’ll refill the pages for our next trip. Easy!

Wow that is really awesome!! Very organized! I love it!

 

[MeghanTy]

We're going to be there Halloween night too! I know it'll be busy, but it seems cool to spend the actual holiday there.

Exactly! Meanwhile, I'm literally stalking the Special Events page each morning to see if tickets are available yet. Le Sigh.

My comment was toward the Halloween party and how much i did enjoy it. Way to spread disney love and pixie dust.

We had APs last year for the Christmas party. You just need to create a second MDE account to purchase the tickets and then link that account to your primary account under "Friends & Family"...very easy. I used my maiden name and middle names for the kids. Booking window for the party FPs would be 30 days. While we were staying onsite, my "phantom" was not in the system.
