Thank you.

I just got back from our trip, and I didn't keep up with the boards here, so I apologize for the delay! When we saw her she was standing at the black star I placed on this map, with a character attendant:

We went October (5?) of last year. We got in line during the fireworks so I guess that's a little after 10. There was only about 3 families in front of us.

Okay thank you! My plan is to go during fireworks then. We won’t be watching fireworks during the first party we go to.

Thank you!! And thank you for including that she had a character attendant (one of my questions). Hopefully they would snap a photo if I asked.

If you have a party ticket and go to the Emporium, they will allow you to purchase exclusive merch. Our party night is 9/7 but I got the spirit jersey and magic band on 8/19. The CMs asked for proof and bought one of everything out.

The question still could have been useful to others... Just sayin'.

• Sept 28

• DD(24) & myself

• Arrive at MK 3:00pm ish - hoping to be towards front of turnstyle

• FP Peter Pan 3:30-4:30 - done by 4:30.

• FP BTMR 4:30-4:50

• Grab - Candy Corn ice cream at Auntie Gravity

• FP Buzz 5:30-5:50

• NEED HELP HERE - We can either go line up for a character meet OR get in line for SDMT. I am assuming either will take about an hour.

• Character meets: not sure of order yet - open to suggestions - *Pooh & friends, *Belle & Gaston, Mickey, Donald,Daisy, Minnie (* = musts)

• Ride musts - HM, Space Mountain, SDMT & Pirates

• Hallowishes & Boo-To-You: Hub Viewing, but we are ok with 2nd row viewing for parade so kiddos can have front. Second parade.

This is our only Disney night, it's not a trip really, it's a "I have to be in Florida for work so I'm gonna sneak to WDW for a night", my daughter just moved to Ft. Myers as a 4th grade teacher so I'm looking forward to spending time with her. We have been to MNSSHP 5 times in previous years so TOT really isn't too important, I'm happy with a few treats if there's no line. The rides during the party are kinda non negotiable it's our favorite part of the night!

Thanks

I would save SDMT until later in the night. At that point regular park goers can still get in line. I would get in line for the Poohs at 6. Their breaks are super annoying. That way you'll be one of the first to meet them.

If you don't have to watch the parade in the hub, you could watch near Mickey's building and as soon as you see the last float duck inside and there shouldn't be a long wait.

during my party last year that was where the step sisters were roaming with their handler. Very hard to get a good interaction.

Thank you so much for your time and posts! Now we have an idea of where to find her.

Omg that is really good to know! Thank you! I’d love to get some merch on one of my other MK days before the 9/9 party!

Any recommendations for a good fireworks spot that isn't so crazy crowded? We plan to watch the second parade so won't already be sitting somewhere.

We plan to watch the 2nd parade over by Liberty Square somewhere.

Not sure if someone posted it yet, but here is the map we were given for opening night (photo taken on a desk in the Poly for authenticity! haha) :

My apologies if this was answered somewhere in this thread and I missed it ... has anyone attended the dessert party where the parade viewing was included (for those that booked while the parade viewing was listed on the website and Disney said they'd honor it). Have there been any issues? Where was the viewing area? What was the timing of the parade and the dessert party? Thanks!

Just planning our entrance as we'll be aiming to get to a FP with a 4:20 end time.

1. Are the SOTMK cards available in front of the fire house?
2. Cross across the street to enter the party bypass to pick up candy bag
3. Head to our FP.

Just making sure we go left originally then right? Too bad they didn't hand out the cards on the way to the bypass.

Go left when you first enter MK for a shot at grabbing the party card early.
1. Usually yes. The past few years I have walked straight to the fire house when I first arrived at 4pm and 50/50 the CMs will give me the party card early. Sometimes I had to go back later and get from the CM standing outside the fire house;
2. I usually skip the party bypass and rush straight to my first FP on my party ticket. Last year I missed out on the trick or treat candy bag but didn't want to carry it around all night anyway. But guessing trick or treating will be a priority for the two of you ; and
3.do your FP and grab an early QS dinner before 6pm so you can enjoy the party. My last FP on my party ticket is HM @approx 6pm as the CMs usually have their party makeup on early. After the ride, I'm in a great spot to either wait for Carlotta/Renata to appear on the front lawn or rush over to Frontierland to catch the Cadaver Dans. The Liberty Square Market is also close and offers one of the specialty party treats. This year, it's Madame Leota.
ps I make a shorthand list of key party events/treats/goodies that I want to get before I leave. Put the SOTMK card on the bottom of your list to check before you leave the party in case they won't give at 4pm.

Is there any danger that they’ll run out of cards on a given party night?

Thanks, OP posted last week & added to in Post #1 last week.

While possible, they didn't my last party mid Sept 17. I had to pick up on my way out of the party. I did leave earlier approx 10pm so grabbed the card before the last call crowd left.

Fenced in grass area in front of Casey's. People usually sit until the fireworks start and it usually isn't that crowded.

Posted parade viewing was at the flagpole.

We went to get ours the day after as we totally forgot to get them with all the mayhem! GR were gracious enough to look at my magic band and corroborate the ticket and gave us 1 from out of the back.
