Does anyone make dining reservations or fastpasses during a party night? I've never been in December and im just curious how it goes.

They will cut dining reservations and fastpasses at a certain time prior to the party

I can tell you, definitively, that those APs can pay for themselves. The AP Spring Rate I got for our YC CL room was ridiculous. Throw in the shopping and restaurant discounts, and it's just been insane.

I have written down the dining venues I want to hit this trip.. Now I wish they would get the Candlelight performers out. Would greatly assist my planning!

Thanks, JennLTX! Good information!

I agree entirely!!!

For the love...we are staying December 16th - 23rd and I have been patiently (okay, maybe not so patiently) waiting for full December hours to come out. They have been later and later at uploading the hours of the last few months. I just want to finalize my plans (even though I know that as months go by the hours will change slightly). I just want to have a good plan before my ADR date. Any thoughts on when the rest of the days will be released? Are they just releasing him 1 day at a time right now?

I know this won't help much, but we had a trip to wdw the first week in Dec. last year, and we are planning another the same time this year. I've seen the times posted for the first week of December already, and if it helps at all, they are posted the same as they were for the same days last year. I know that times can change right up until the day before, but still, I am making my plans based on what was just released, and it matches our plans from last year. So, you could maybe check the days from last year to begin to plan? Also, again this does change year to year, but one time change between the time when times were originally posted and the day of our trip ( 6 months) was that wdw added an extra hour opening at MK to the Saturdays in December. (Opened at 8am instead of 9am). That was the one change i remember from last year. Hope this at least helps a bit.

We were able to get FP's the last two years from 4:00 - 7:00, but nothing after 7. The way it worked though we were only able to book 2 FP's as everything else was already booked up. I've also heard people say that the latest they were able to book them for was 6:30.

 

[Rickat96]

Was able to get 2 last December- the choice of times arent clean like 4pm, 5pm and 6pm- more like 405-510 etc. But i will say- really did not need them because the rides were pretty much no wait all evening. This was 2nd week of December.

Without a party ticket you can make reservations until 6pm, including FP.

With a party ticket you can make reservations until 6pm, but fastpasses from 4-6 (could be 4-7, but they list 6pm as the official "closing time" this year which is different). Fastpasses aren't a thing during the parties and table service restaurants close.

We've never needed them before and always get on what we want, without having to be on a FP schedule. That could change closer to Christmas of course, we are still not going to book any for our 21st Christmas party but we expect it to be more crowded than our 10th party. LOL

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Here is the snack list from last year just so you can get an idea of what they have at the MCMCP!!

• Tortuga Tavern (Adventureland) - Hot Chocolate and Snickerdoodle cookie
• Heritage House (Liberty Square) - Eggnog and Gingersnap Molasses Cookie
• The Friar's Nook (Fantasyland) - Snow Cone and Snowman Sugar Cookie
• The Lunching Pad (Tomorrowland) - Hot Chocolate and Peppermint Bark Cookie
• Pete's Silly Sideshow (Fantasyland) - Spiced Apple Cider and Snowman Sugar Cookie

Hello everyone!!! I have finally updated the list, but there has been a lot of chatter, so I may have missed one!! PLEASE do not hesitate to let me know!! I will fix it up as soon as I can! I am getting so excited as the days keep ticking down, it's still pretty far away but with Summer here, time is sure to fly right into fall before we know it!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

This is a link to the a spreadsheet where I am slowly adding in the December park hours as they are released! I hate having to click day by day on the WDW site and the app isn't that big, I like to print out and highlight and work from there, so I figured I would share!
