Are fast passes not an option during the party?

 

[Lumiere Lover]

No fastball pluses are availed during the party hours starting at 7pm

Tell me about the Jingle Cruise!

I'm interested in information on this too. Is it a jingle cruise all day during the holiday season or only during the party?

It's just a bit of a Christmas overlay on the Jungle Cruise - you can see some pictures here:

It's all day - there's no way they could put it up just for the parties.

I was there last NYE and we did the Jingle Cruise! The boats were all decorated, and from what I remember most if not all of the jokes were Christmas-themed. I believe some of the animatronics were too, like the people who are chanting in a circle (I forget what they're called!). It is the whole holiday season, not just at parties. It was great! Really cute. We did it at night and it was so pretty with all the decor, etc.

You can use them from 4-7, but most people recommended book them 3:30-6:30, which is what we did.

For MNSSHP this year, they cancelled any after 6:30.

Woohoo bought our tickets for the first party Can't wait ...did the halloween one on sept so this is a good year.

that's what I just did. Figured we'd get at least a a couple in anyway. If we end up getting the last one done in enough time to get the 4th that's great, if not that's fine too. I'm hoping it's not too crazy busy. Since my in-laws won't be with us this time, we've lost our babysitters, so I'll probably be going back to the room with the little one after the fireworks while my husband stays in the park with our oldest until closing.

Just ordered out tickets for December 10th (doesn't appear to be anyone on the list yet for that date)

Well, just a heads up, if you are not using a park ticket to be in MK earlier in the day. You cannot get into the park until 4 p.m. So, you'll need to have your FP+ between the hours of 4 - 6:30 p.m.

Well, we are now planning on doing our MVMCP on Dec 10th now! So, Campbellzsoup, if you could please switch my party dates for Minniekins from Dec 3rd to Dec 10th, that would be great! Thank you!

 

[SaintsManiac]

Right, but you have an hour to use it. As long as you arrive by 4:30 to a 3:30 FP it is ok.

Or are you saying they will take a day off of your ticket if you book a 3:30 FP? How would they?

No, not saying that, don't think they'd do that. You're right, if you book it at 3:30, you could still go in at 4 and use the FP till 4:30, so you'd have a half hour to use it. Just don't, say, use your MB, and go in between 3:30 and 4, thinking it's okay since you have a FP, cause it would use a days' ticket before 4 p.m.

Gotcha! That's why we are only bringing our hard tickets to get in at 4. I don't want to risk it!

 

[Minniekins]

Ah, good idea! Have a great time! I'm getting excited, our trip is about 6 weeks away!

Question for all going to MVMCP after a park day elsewhere. We are doing an AM at HS so I have FP booked there. Is it possible to also book some FP with our MVMCP ticket after 4pm to use between then and 6:30 or are we out of luck Bc we already have FP elsewhere that day like any other park hopper day.

From all that I have learned here (thank you, DISers) you can book a 4th FP once you get to MK between 4-7.

In 7 weeks we'll be at MCO!! Enjoy your trip!

That's correct - you can book once you are in MK at one of the kiosks.

 

[sock2you]

I didn't know you could do that. We have ours on the 17 th and I would rather do it on the 19th. Heard the 17 th could be real crowded.

I took the advice I got here and gave it a shot, the worst they could do was say no and if they did I'd just call back until I found someone to say yes. It worked out though and I only had to call once to get it changed, I did have to pay the difference since we moved from a Sunday to Friday but it was only $15 and so worth it.

Just back from a 10 day vacation making sure we're all getting our plans together for Christmas party!
