To answer your first question, we’ve been discussing this a lot the last few days here. Historically, I thought they did light the castle prior to the first party, but the recent announcement about the Frozen Holiday Wish sounds like maybe not.
No party exclusive shots are available prior to 7.
That's the party we are going to! Last night of our trip
Historically it has sold out. We are going for 9 nights and could totally go to a different party, but I like the idea of it being our last night. Also, we can stay up late not worrying about getting up early the next day. We have 2-3 other days at Magic Kingdom so we are just going for the party stuff.I'm hoping it won't be too busy of a party but I'll have fun either way!
I just found out that I will be receiving a free ticket to the party on November 8th as part of my TA training. I have been to a Christmas party in the past, and honestly, didn't love it enough to think I would ever be back. But I'll take free.
Anyways, since my ticket is free I have been thinking about adding a dessert party. Does anyone have experience with them and are they worth it? I am a little bummed to see neither comes with special parade viewing.

Just scored a 4:25pm ADR for BoG on 11/16. Woo-hoo!
We typically like to eat at 2:45pm and 4pm and attend 2 parties. This year going at Thanksgiving vs our usual December, only going to 1 party. This only night that BoG really works for us, and DD10 prefers the rides, parades, fireworks, shows. Me characters! So I really need a GREAT touring plan. First World Problems.
We will be at that party as well! It is our arrival day. We get there early in the morning and will probably be in MK for a half day and then are doing Tony’s for dinner. Our BOG is on Wednesday the 21st.
It lights for the night when she lights it. On party nights, when there are 2 shows, it will be dark for a bit before the second show, but otherwise stays lit all night long.I meant time wise.. not the date..
like I think the show where Elsa officially lights the castle at 7 pm or something.. is it lit before then, or not until she officially lights it at the time of the night? I dont know if my question makes sense! I want to get a pic with the castle all lit up, but dont necessarily want to wait for her show, or to even really watch it for that matter.

We are attending a party and I just managed to snag a dinner reservation for BOG at 4:00. We don’t have tickets for the park that day, except the Christmas party tickets. What are the chances I can make that reservation in time? I will continue looking for a better time, but wanted to grab this one while it was available. Thanks!
Good luck healing before you’re trip! My top recommendation would be nightmare before Christmas and since you’re going to one of the first parties it’s a great transition between Halloween and Christmas.Hello!
I am sorry if this is a "dumb" question, but what Disney movies should I see before the party?
To kind of "warm up" for the Christmas Party and other "Christmas things" at WDW
We are going November 8 to the party (we will be in WDW from November 3-10) YAY...
And, after seeing these movies I have too se..???..... characters?
Thank you, from Adèle in Norway (sitting with here with my leg hight because of an injurie and hopes it heals before our trip "LOL")
