Official 2021 Disney Very Merriest After Hours Thread

KTP site is fantastic. They have the new schedule in there as well. Great info.

When we went in 2016, we though it was only in Tomorrowland and only the Tinsel Dance Party so that is the only area we were in. We didn't know what was going on elsewhere. I big "DOH!" on our part. Still had a great time.
 

Glad to see they at least have Snickerdoodle cookies for free.

Resort TV 1 will be live streaming the first party tonight.
 
Its always an interesting dynamic of trying to see what you really want to do at this kind of party. Do you want to ride rides all night, or actually experience the Christmas part of it.

I'd usually do only rides but I'd kinda wanna just do the Christmas thing this time
 
First Look at Park Map for Disney Very Merriest After Hours at Magic Kingdom... interesting. Lots of entertainment (as expected). Xmas fireworks at 11:15pm. 5 Magic Shot spots (the usual places) and the following Character locations:
  • Town Hall (probably Mickey)
  • Liberty Sq behind the Christmas Shoppe. (I assume this is the white pavilion. I wonder who this will be? Jack & Sally???? They have posed in that spot before, but I can't remember if it was during a Christmas Party or Halloween party. My daughter is going tonight, so I guess I'll find out.)
  • Crystal Palace (probably Pooh & friends)
  • Country Bears balcony (prob Chip & Dale/Country Bears)
  • Princess Fairytale Hall (Princesses?)
  • Stage over by Space Mtn (probably Monsters Inc characters, maybe Stitch?)
 
This is probably a question I should know the answer to…

If MK hours are listed as closing at 8:00 with After Hours beginning at 9:00 and ticket holders being allowed in at 7:00…what happens between 8:00 and 9:00?

the transition from day guests to ticketed guests

Essentially this same thing happened during Boo Bash. I attended 2 of those events. During the 1 hour "transition" on one night, my family and I ate at Casey's until the party started. During the second party, we just got our wristbands (they had a wristband station by the old Stitch ride in Tomorrowland) and then went on a couple of rides that had short wait times. In our case, we did Small World and then Haunted Mansion. By 9pm the entryways to each "land" were manned by Cast Members lined up across the walkway policing for party wristbands. You'd just hold your arm up as you walked through. If you didn't have a wristband, they'd usher you to the front of the park.
 
Does anybody know what this reindeer wranglers thing is? My friends mother is obsessed with the reindeer in the parade, so if it has anything to do with them I will absolutely have to go.

Are any of the attractions open? Or do have to just wander for an hour?
