"Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2015 Thread - Rockin' Around the Cinderella Castle!

Does the WDW Railroad (the train that goes around MK) run during the party? I just want to make sure.

Sooo this may have been said but i notice tonite there are a ton of people without wristbands and they arent being asked to leave. Anyone else notice this? Just looking around where im sitting and i see about 15 people without any...i feel like that isnt fair. They were super strict for halloween last year

Your post says it was from 6:05 PM....people don't have to leave till the park closes at 7. The ton of people you saw had every right to be there.

Never mind - now I realize that posts display in MY time zone.

We were there last night as well and I cannot believe everything we accomplished! Before the party, we did ETWB and Philharmagic. 7PM hits and I see wait times plummet on the app. I was able to go on most things with zero wait. The only ride line that I had to wait for was 7DMT and that was 15 mins at 11:30. Watched the fireworks near Casey's, and the 2nd parade from the hub.

I could be wrong, but I think the time stamps on the posts reflect the time zone of the person viewing them, and I clicked on your avatar and saw that you're in Minnesota so I suspect that the OP was actually posting at 7:05, however I would be willing to bet that at that time there were CMs working on clearing people without wristbands out of the parks. (I'm also in the central time zone and it shows 6:05 on mine as well.)

Oh, I see. That makes sense.

You're looking at CST, not EST... She actually posted at 7:05 pm EST from Florida... Hope this clarifies!:

Oops I must have been typing while @siskaren was posting! Sorry!

No it does not. Depending on the station, the last train leaves around 625. At least this was the case at the Halloween Party this year.

Not MVMCP but did anyone do the dessert party for the Osborne Lights yet? I have a reservation and just wondering how it is!

We went on Saturday evening, my family enjoyed being able to sit down and enjoy the lights and show. The desserts were so so, but it was worth it for the general atmosphere and not having to be in the crowd the whole time.

Well on Friday night - they had cast members all around the castle and wouldn't let anyone without a wrist band thru. To my knowledge they won't let them on rides either so they eventually get forced out.

I'd say given the fact that theotherlostprincess posted just 5 minutes after the party started that she was a bit premature in her complaint. I mean, people without wristbands are allowed to stay until 7:00, so I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect them to all be cleared out at 7:05. Now if she still saw a lot of people without wristbands at 8:00, and in particular, waiting to watch the parade, then she would have a legitimate complaint.

Does anyone know if the kiss goodnight plays on party nights like it does on normal nights? I still have not managed to last long enough but am hoping to last the whole party and catch it!

 

[CampbellzSoup]

I'm sure they will kick most of them out

 

[LvsTnk]

I have read some live reports where people have been crowded out of parade viewing by people without wristbands. When alerted CM's took care of it. I don't think it's for lack of the CM's trying I think people are just a bit more sneaky about it. This particular report said the people being asked to leave did not do so quietly.

 

[jhalpin]

Any feedback from the Wishes dessert party at MVMCP? I am trying to decide if it's worth it or not...

Yes, they seemed to be on it when I was there on Tuesday. My husband and I started to head out of the park because we weren't attending the party that night, but we stopped in some gift shops on the way. I noticed several cast members checking wristbands, and we were politely asked if we knew the park closed at 7 a few times...I guess that was the nice way to give us a hint, haha. They did say we were allowed to shop for a while though

Has anyone seen stitch around at the Christmas Party?

 

[Sunnyday3]

I know, the parades are VERY important to me. I HAVE to see Cindy with her prince and 6 white horses! Because I'm a senior and I'm camped out early, people think they can "hop" in front of me with their children! Ummm, no sorry, but I got here early to be able to see. I'm very polite , but firm. I think I would have probably freaked though if someone had the hutzpah to touch my child's baby carriage!
Glad you had a good time, thank you for posting!
Did you try any of the special party only desserts that you pay for? The cupcakes are sooooo cute!

We tried the cupcakes! The bear ones were okay, but the candy cane ones were so good! Got them at the MainSt Bakery.

We also got the special Mickey holiday popcorn bucket. He'll sit nicely under our tree!

There are plenty of green sequined ears to be found. I bought mine at DHS on Saturday evening.

There were tons of the gren sequined Minnie ears. My daughter got a pair and wore them the whole time.
