"Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

[gottalovepluto]

Of course my fast pass day falls on a Saturday. Why wouldn't it? Who doesn't want to get up at 6 am on Saturday?

Oh ick! Well, at least you're not on CA time rockin' the 4am FP booking!

Holiday filming for ABC specials to take place early November at Walt Disney World

http://www.wdwmagic.com/events/holi...place-early-november-at-walt-disney-world.htm

Filming at Walt Disney World will take place November 3 - 7 2017. Like last year, no parade will be filmed at Walt Disney World, but stage show performances including musical acts will be filmed in Florida. The parade will be filmed at Disneyland Resort in California.

Uh-oh... I have no idea what this entails, help? We're doing MK on Nov 7, will certain areas be roped off? Are there places to specifically avoid because they get crowded? Or is it a nobody knows what/when situation? Gah! I'm such a planner I hate to be at a total loss!

Me!!! That was me last weekend for our Easter ADRs, and what should have taken 20 minutes took 3 hrs. My FP+ is Monday, that's when I'm getting ready for work/school. Ugh! I'm going to feel rushed all day.

Omg, if it takes me 3 hours I'll cry. I just made myself a cheat sheet with the date I want in order of when I'll book them. How many people im booking for and what time of day.

Hopefully your Monday morning booking goes smoothly.

Ugh seriously. I think it's bad enough to be on Central time.

I think I did! DH asked, is that an actual tear in your eye or tired from being up early?
That's what happens with CMs that speak of changes (we stopped that 2 years ago) but don't actually know things. Ha! Moving on, b/c there are some great CMs. So crappy website (reported on FB that IT is having major behind scenes problems with functioning --- more than normal, I'm so tired of the Sorry For My Paws message), split stay and DVC. So I've always booked by website, this summer (June) I called Disney Dining for Christmas trip - Part 2 with no problems. I digress, I was able to book 2 online ADRs before error messages. Called & made other ADRs for 1st night & Day 2. Then called DVC and completed all ADRs. I did get every ADR on the day & time I wanted. BoG on Easter! So I guess the 3 hours was worth it, and no work to be late for or ADR missed due to going to work. APs so being playing around with FP+ past few days, so far, all is good. CST here!


Hope booking your FP+ goes smoothly & you can enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

hahah I would have rather mine be a Sat than a Fri! I had to be up, ready to go, kids all ready for school and get mine done and then immediately run them to school and then go to work! LOL Guess it's all in each person's perspective

I'm getting up at 3:50am tomorrow to do my FPs! Hopefully it doesn't take 3 hours so I can get it done before I have to get ready for work. But we're just 6 days at the world to worry about and my biggest focus is FOP so that's what I'll be doing first. I'm too paranoid to book tickets for our MVMCP day as we're not planning on any other parks that day so I'll have to start figuring out our strategy once I get the FPs booked.

We're going the same say! I'm taking a day off work tomorrow to book my FPs... Good luck to us both!

I was there last year during the performance tapings and it really didn't effect anything unless you were trying to see the shows. At MK the performance was on the castle stage so there was a crowd watching in front, but otherwise no impact. I was also at DHS the day they taped One Republic and again, there was a crowd gathered near the stage but otherwise it was no issue at all.

 

[DisneyMom93]

Anyone else going to the 11/26 party?

You left out the disclaimer: "Don't worry, I'm not looking to meet up." Unless of course you actually are....

 

[DisneyMom93]

So the stars from the Holiday shows actually interact with park guests when not filming? My younger daughter would die to meet the Descendants. Now I'm wondering if I should pack one of her Descendants shirts.

You could always pack it on the sly so she doesn't get her hopes up if it doesn't work out.

Is there somewhere that has kept records of what dates have sold out in the past? I am going to be at WDW 11/11 - 11/19 and I am deciding what day to to go and when I should purchase my tickets. I am planning on going on either the Tuesday or Thursday due to it being a week day and less people are likely to be there. However, I am also concerned with when I should purchase the tickets. I do not want to get there and it ends up getting sold out, but I also do not want to purchase tickets on a day that it ends up raining when I could choose another day.

Do you guys think I will be safe to wait until the week of to buy the tickets or should I buy them sooner?

I know there is always a risk, but I want to make sure this night as perfect as possible. The reason why we are going to WDW this week is because my wife, the non-Disney fan, wants to go to MVMCP this year. She talked me into going so she can go to the event again, because she liked it so much last year. I think my Disney nerdness is finally rubbing off on her after 14 years of marriage.

See Post #3 for Sold Out parties and date sold out on for 2016. See previous posts about waiting to purchase tickets. Happy Planning.

Only advise, if party you want to attend, buy tickets. Weather changes daily. Other day expected downpour @ MNSSHP & nothing. Then Halloween hadn't sold out like in past nor any other parties, only 2, day of. PP posted just booked trips based on attending MNSSHP on Halloween & MNSSHP on Halloween sold out today before purchasing tickets. Same for last week, PP posted purchasing tickets day of due to weather & when arrived @ MK sign up saying tonight's Party sold out.

So info not to scare you, just to show things change day to day & year to year with price increases & not really any insight being a veteran. If you want to go on a particular night, buy ticket, if rains, go with flow. If weather a true problem for you, then wait & see, but know Party may or may not sell out. Post # 3 lists past years parties that sold out & date sold out, but if keeping up with MNSSHP, sold out dates didn't follow that trend this year. Happy planning!

We're going 11/26. Going to be a total all day MK marathon the day after our travel day. Keys to the Kingdom Tour in the AM, Monorail Tour in the Afternoon, Dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern and our first MVMCP in the evening. Im going to need to bring an adult sized stroller so my wife to push me around when I pass out at 10pm.
