"Official" 2022 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Sadly, I kind of think you're right because they probably would have announced it by now. I'm planning to book the dessert party and cancel if they announce Tony's.

So, is the only difference ($15) is that Tomorrow land gets you “reserved seating” for the fireworks and the Plaza is a “standing area”. Trying to figure out the TRUE difference. $15 is really nothing…

I'm traveling with my mom and 7 year old niece so I'm trying for the terrace so we can have seats. I think the view from the Plaza grass area is better.

So we decided to go to WDW for the Christmas holiday. Was able to book MVMCP. I thought for sure they would be sold out. I even told my son that we can go but the Christmas party is probably sold out. What a pleasant surprise! This will be our first time going during Christmas season.

This is my plan too.

This is my plan too.

Me as well.

Any thoughts on what time the desert party availability will open? Didn't candlelight ADRs open a little before the usual 6 am?

No fireworks for day guests on party nights

Although 2 shows has been done before and was very cool!

Just a reminder that UT sells MVMCP tickets at a small discount.

I bought mine through Disney because I used gift cards that I had bought at a discount, but I have used them in the past. I think back when I had an AP the discount from UT was better.

But not on party nights. I’m not aware of MK ever having fireworks for non-party guests on nights of MNSSHP or MVMCP.

Are all rides open during the party or only certain ones?

It did happen in 2007,the first year of the Castle Dream Lights.

That first year,on MVMCP nights,Cinderella's Holiday Wish was at 5:45 PM followed at 6:00 PM by Wishes for all Guests.

Then,Holiday Wishes was at 9:30 PM during MVMCP,so Guests COULD see 2 "Wishes"(one "regular" and one "Holiday" version)the same night IF they attended MVMCP.

It was way cool!

Okay but that was 15 years ago and OP was asking if non-partygoers could see fireworks and the answer to that is no.

This thread is intended to offer clear 2022 party information so we don’t want to confuse people with old information in this thread.

Does it say anywhere what time the Tomorrowland Dessert Party tickets will go on sale tomorrow?

For some it seems 6 a.m., for others it seems they can get in earlier - so I'm going to long in early and check periodically.

Guests should be aware that events like fireworks, shows, and parades may be cancelled due to the weather. Even if it is just a quick rain shower. No refunds. Just want to throw that out there since it happened to us last year. We stayed for about an hour and just had hot cocoa and some treats. Didn't rain long but they cancelled all of the entertainment. A lot of the rides were shut down and it was a bit crazy so we high-tailed it out of there thinking we could get a raincheck from Guest Services. WITH THAT SAID -- The event is amazing! Disney does it right. We went in 2016 and had a great time and was well worth it. Hope everyone has a great time and have great weather for the event.

Some people (like me) prefer the Plaza Garden View because it's closer and more centered (being less expensive is a bonus). Others prefer to have seating throughout. While the seated view is definitely off to the side (over by Tomorrowland Bridge), it is nice to have seating if you need it. I have done the Treats and Seats seated view only once, on New Year's Eve, when I wanted to be up and away from the massive crowds. Otherwise, I always do Plaza Garden View. I just prefer that view.

Some of what happened for the candlelight processional was if you were staying on site and within your booking window it would show you the ADRs as soon as they were loaded, which was a little before 6 am (was it about 5:30 or 5:45?). If you were staying off site and looking for an ADR right at 60 days out, you couldn't see the availability until right at 6 am. But if staying off site and looking for anything under 60 days, the ADRs should show up right when they are loaded. I'm not sure if I've expressed that well or if it is more confusing. I think there also might have been some glitches too for people that should have been eligible to book but had trouble.
