Official 2021 Disney Very Merriest After Hours Thread

[Delilah1310]

The only dates I see available are the 12th and 14th of December. Nothing says sold out. Those cannot be the only dates left?

mine only showed me the dates available within my resort stay.
But I didn't poke around to see if I could get around that.

Tickets acquired for Dec 14th!

I'll be solo too. I think I'll be able to do much more than when I'm not.

For the halloween parties, we'd always go 2x, splitting the entertainment between the 2 to ensure we saw/did everything. Not sure what to do yet for this holiday party. righ tnow only planning on going once because I want to go to the Processional at epcot one night.

So what do people think about this.
This is my solo trip. My plane lands 11am the day I do the Christmas after hours. My plan was to go to DS and then to the party with the 7pm entry.

I then have a day at Epcot and a day at AK.
I’m worried I’m going to wish I had more time at MK. My priorities for the party would be the parade and fireworks. As well as seeing the 50th fireworks before the party.

I am going to have money set aside for a park hopper in case I decide to go there on my Epcot or HS day.

i just wonder how much rrides. I can get do during the party while still catching the entertainment.

BTW my waiting room started at 7 minutes - used link posted by merry_nbright Special events page

I used the link above because I had no luck going through the menus myself. I even logged out and back in and went thru the menus on the WDW website (on laptop) but still had no luck. So I tried the link again and it went straight to queue. The original wait time said 31 minutes, but that quickly changed to 6 minutes, so it did not take as long as it said. I got tickets for Dec 7.
If having problems, log out of MDE and sign back in, then try the link above. I don't know if that will work for others, but it worked for me. (Just an FYI - I also did this on my phone and had no luck in the Disney app but was able to get in a waiting room on the WDW website using the browser on my phone.)
Good luck everyone and thanks again for the help!!!

Chrome worked for me, but I had to get out, dump my Chrome history, sign back in MDE and then go to Tickets, then Special Events, It went pretty quickly after that.

Until I did that it, kept giving me the page that said they were not available yet.

Finally got it! Took forever. My phone froze when it finally was redirecting me to book. When my computer finally got there, it had logged me out so it took a few tries to log back in but luckily I didn’t have to re-enter the waiting room. Got 2 tix for Nov 30th. I think the key is patience because it kept freezing and glitching but I finally got it

Tickets are up! I got mine. Now I’m going back to bed for another 20 minutes.

Thank you so much for posting! I saw your post and flew outta bed -- in the que for 9minutes and got my 2 dates. Now I'm heading back to bed! Thanks again for everyone posting; soooo much easier than the Boo Bash tickets.

Thank you all so much this morning for tips on getting in the queue. We got our tickets (showing up in MDE already) for Nov 9. We weren’t planning on going, but realized it may be our last chance (Pop is 89 and has had some health scares the past couple of years). Thanks again. Good luck to all still trying.

I just got our tickets!!

But I did have something weird happen. I put our 3 tickets in my cart and when it got to the checkout page, the total cost was over $7,000 . Somehow the system had also added in the cash price for our resort stay. We're staying at Copper Creek using DVC points, but it had added in around $6600 for that stay! I was able to delete it from the cart, but then I was freaking out thinking - did I just cancel our DVC reservation???

Thankfully, I just checked and it's still there and all is good. So strange though!

Good luck everyone! Hope you all get your tickets.

Where in MDE do you see them? I got my email confirmation but not seeing them on MDE, might not be looking in the right place.

Also, for anyone going directly to WDW website, you need to go to Parks and Tickets, then choose Special Events Tickets, and you will land on the page with Very Merriest After Hours. That is the link provided by merry_nbright above. (The page also shows Boo Bash, which is listed first.) I originally went to Things to Do, Events and Tours, but that did not work.

It’s not under plans- it’s under tickets and passes (I had to scroll all the way to the far right). It showed a ticket for each person).

Thanks for the help! My problem was I was going to other areas of the website where it showed the event but said unavailable. Once I did it the way you guys mentioned I got in and only had a
7 minute wait and was able to get our tickets for 11/19.

 

[Avery&Todd]

WAHOOOOOOOO!! I got mine!! 2 tickets for November 12th!!!

Can't wait!!!!

 

[dancergirlsmom]

Got my tickets for November 12. Used the link in my email and it was a breeze. The only days showing are the days of my resort stay. So much easier than getting the Boo Bash tickets.

See you there!

Unfortunately, it appears DVC members who want the discount must wait to call Member Services.

 

[disneydreamer781]

I got mine! After signing in and sitting in the waiting room for about 10 minutes it brought me right into Special Tickets so I would say this went swimmingly. Very happy I didn't have to spend all morning on here. Thank you Disney for getting it together! The only thing I was hoping for was Friday night 12/10 and they only had Thursday 12/9 available so I went for Sunday 12/12. I would have loved Thursday but we're arriving that afternoon so no way.

 

[Xcited4Disney]

I got them! I had to log in on the actual website, not the app, and found my way to the page. I was in a queue of 7min. Easy process and so happy I don’t have to be on hold all day!
