mk will close at 430 on the 30th for a cm party it is what disney dose for thier workers

Ahhh gotchya! Yes saw that but didn't know what it meant. I definitely was not expected Disney to close MK another night during this time but how lovely they acknowledge their cast members this way Thank you both for clarifying, I expect the 27th, 29th & 2nd will be really busy with non-party goers holidaying around this time.

Also, another phrase caught my eye that I didn't know. I'll flick back and ask about that too if you don't mind? Thanks again!

Pop Warner Week. I've just googled that and it sounds like that increases crowds too.

Is there anything we should avoid or get amongst around this time?

Thanks!

Okay, so apparently we're going to this! My mom had surgery earlier this week (GERD and hernia) and is home recuperating. Visited with her today and when I mentioned MVMCP and that I might be able to swing it if she wants to go (we had decided against it originally) her face brightened and she didn't even hesitate. "Yes! I think we should go!"

That's all I needed to hear!

We'll be attending Sunday December 17th!

And because two recent credit card sign-up bonuses are funding the actual tickets, I think I can spring for the Holiday Wishes Dessert Party for the three of us too so Mom and Dad don't have to deal with crowds as much to see the parade and fireworks! I'm keeping that to myself though! I suck at surprises, but I think I can keep that one.

We have been twice in October and just could not swing the extra money for 7 people to go the Halloween party. My husband just surprised me last week with the news that our Christmas trip year will be paid off 4 months earlier than expected. He said we should continue putting back the planned amount and go to the Christmas party this year. I am super excited as it will be an extra surprise for the kids. They don't even know we have a December trip scheduled this year. We plan on getting tickets the day they go on sale as we will be there over Christmas.

I have been while they are there and will for two days this year - park didn't seem to be effected but the Resort can be especially food court before and after their days - in beginning of week they are at espn sports area all day as teams get eliminated they slowly trickle into parks but seems Disney isn't mobbed by them. The airport was more of an issue when I left than anything. I dont think either MVMCP party I went to had large groups of them and if they did I didn't notice

That's a relief! Thanks

We're going the week before Thanksgiving, but won't be able to do the party (Thurs & Fri). So I'm assuming that MK will be more crowded on Wednesday 11/15 and Saturday 11/18. We want to watch Happily Ever After though, so our options are Wednesday night vs Saturday night...which would be less crowded? Wednesday has evening EMH supposedly, and Saturday is a weekend... hmm

Wednesday will be your better option.

I'm planning on doing a party on December 2nd. Earlier in the day were going to be doing Sea World. I was thinking about doing an early dinner at Crystal Palace, what's the latest that you can make a reservation on a party night? Would this be a waste of time? We've done the party before but we were in the Magic Kingdom that day from opening to closing so I had all kinds of time!

I meant 1st.....sorry!

We are looking at either November 14 or 16. I would like to wait until within a few days to buy the tickets, so I can see weather forecasts and choose the better one. If we wait until Sunday the 12th, do you think there will still be tickets available??

You never know. If it's important to go I wouldn't wait to get tickets! Don't think that's supposed to be a really busy time but I think that may be one of the free dining weeks so they might change things???

We'll see you there!!!

Last year we went to the party on a thursday - night before (W) it was EMH until 1 am, so I thought SCORE we can see regular wishes and get some rides in - NOPE the crowds were unbearable trying to watch the fireworks and some of the most rude people I have ever witnessed in Disney. It was our first night there too and I was so upset - the previous year I went a week earlier and crowds were better but we also skipped Wishes.

UGH!!! That is my fear for this year...I REALLY wanna see both Holiday Wishes and HEA fireworks the week after Thanksgiving...but if that Wednesday is gonna be crazy with crowds, I might have to skip HEA fireworks...until another trip of course...Hmmm....time to move things around for my November trip...

Well now that I got my free food I guess it's back to waiting for Christmas tickets to drop. Hopefully they won't be more than 150 each. There is only so many price hikes a girl can take.
