Has anyone noted the wait times for Anna & Elsa during the party?

We will be a party of 14 with my FIL in a scooter and on oxygen and a couple of first timers (all 18+). We are at BLT (refurb dont screw this up) so if my FIL needs to leave one of us can get him back quickly and easily.

With such a large, diverse party I have been trying to set up a plan of attack but was curious about something I think I know the answer to but I want to be sure…

Tron is standby only during the party but can guests on PARTY TICKETS purchase an ILL to be used between 4pm and 6pm?

This is something that changes. Earlier this year Disney stopped this but recently we've had some reports of guests being able to purchase LLSP with only a party ticket. You can try but there's no guarantee that it will work.

Yes, you can purchase LL and ILL if you have a party ticket. I just did it this morning, but make sure the times are available before you purchase the tickets. It could be difficult to change the times at a later time - the 4 -6pm window seemed to book up quickly for the rides we wanted.

Thanks. With 14 of us getting a Tron ILL will make life easier. More expensive, but easier.

I can purchase 7 days before check in?

Yes, since you are staying at BLT that is correct starting at 7 am ET.

From the videos I've seen and what I've read, the parties seem slightly less crowded than in past years. So maybe they limited the number of tickets available a little bit?

Does anyone ever cancel their tickets?

 

[scrappinginontario]

PLEASE READ:

Disney MVMCP tickets are non-transferable. ​

A sold out party is a sold out party except for very, very rare instances where more tickets become available through the Disney website. (Occasionally this happens in extreme circumstances when something like a hurricane is brewing so many guests are cancelling their party tickets.)

ADVERTISING TO SELL OR PURCHASE TICKETS IS NOT PERMITTED ON DISBOARDS. Any such posts will be deleted and warning points may be awarded. Please do not post anything that includes the date and wanting to go the date of a sold out party. Such posts will be deleted.

Also, as is often asked, if party tickets are sold out on the Disney website/app, they are also sold out when phoning Disney and through third-party vendors.

If you are unable to attend a party to which you have purchased tickets, please contact Disney to make alternate arrangements. Historically they allow guests to retain those funds in their Disney account to use towards a future hard-ticket event.

One year I lined up around 6:30 and the timestamp from my photo says I didn't meet them until 7:45. I would suggest lining up at 6 or 5:30 to ensure you don't waste party time in line.

It was the Dec. 13th party in 2022.

Has anyone noted the wait times for Anna & Elsa during the party?

I did them on Friday but note it was chilly so I think wait times were low due to that. The two longest I had to wait for were both royal couples.

Anna and Elsa were on the shorter end though. I came out of the line next door and immediately turned and made a beeline for them. The only bit of wait I had to do was waiting for a CM go come get me and bring me to the room. And then wait for like 3 families to get done before I went.

According to the Photopass time stamps I finished with Cinderella and Charming around 9:03 and started meeting with Anna and Elsa around 9:15. So yeah real quick line for them.

Might be also timing. I prioritized characters over everything else. And this was before the Fireworks. I actually got everyone at the party I wanted with one exception though (Snow and her Prince, it came down to Jack and Sally vs them and I wanted a photo with the former this time around. So didn’t stop for them.)

What time is recommended to line up for the 8:30 parade? Do people line up later on main st since it comes there later?

No. People line up on Main Street as if the parade was starting at 830 right there.

I got my spot by the Flagpole before 6:30

Do you recall around what time people started lining up?
