[JuneChickie]

Okay guys, here are the prices for MVMCP being sold in Brazil:

November 9, 12, 14 and 16 - $111 (adult) and $106 (child)
November 10, 17, 26 and 28, December 01, 03, 05, 07 10, 12, 14 and 17 - $115 (adult) and $109 (child)
December 19, 21 and 22 - $141 (adult) and 134 (child).

Please keep in mind Brazilian TAs do sell them with a slightly up charge (one of the reasons I buy directly from Disney).

Wow ,, thats alot more than I thought . Increases this year for the last
few parties might cause us to rethink those.

Thank you for pointing out they up charge. It makes me wonder what the upcharge is though. Hopefully tickets will go on sale next week and we will have the actual price. My husband agreed to our family if 7 going at around a hundred a ticket so hopefully they aren't too much higher than last years prices.

Any idea when tix might go on sale? I was thinking this week? Is it usually early may?

My adr date is coming up too!!! Lots of Disney excitement in our house!!

I am being told Tuesday. But... until Disney makes an announcement this is just a rumor/guess.

Well that just made the decision for me between the 17th and the 19th! Wow.

I think you all are missing the last line of the post, which says that Brazilian TAs add on an upcharge.

I saw that. Anyone have any idea just how much of an upcharge?

I'll wait for Disney to release prices before making the final decision, but that $141 about made me choke. We were kind of leaning toward 12/19, but not if it's going to be considerably more expensive than 12/17.

Might wind up sitting it out altogether. It was already going to be a strain on the budget for this trip.

No , I saw that ,, the poster said it was a small " up charge " ,

So , not sure what small up charge meant to them , could be 50 cents or $20 dollars,
either way that last party charge chokes me up ,
It will be interesting to see just how much of an increase Disney does.
I've always enjoyed going to the last party , kind of a close out the year
thing for my family .
I know the days of under a $105.00 are Gone

I would be surprised @ that much of of increase after the bust from last year's increase. Only 3 parties sold out & maybe 4 for MNSSHP (I'll have to check 2016 for exact numbers), maybe 4 & 5 respectively. Then Disney added numerous CM discount nights when tickets weren't selling & parties still did not sell out.

So MK Park Hours are posted on the WDW site for the first two party days (11/9 & 11/10), and the MK has a posted closing time of 6 PM!

There are several possibilities...

1) It's a mistake, MK will close at 7 as in prior years.
2) Party hours are extended in 2017! 6 hours instead of five, and possibly a higher price for the party in 2017. Party goers now allowed in MK at 3 PM.
3) Everything is shifted 1 hour earlier. Party goers allowed in at 3 PM, non-party goers are escorted out at 6 PM when the party starts, and it will now end at 11 PM.
4) Non-party goers are escorted out at 6 PM. The party still starts at 7, but Party goers will have one hour of exclusive non-party park time.

What do the rest of you make of this?

This was last year too, no biggy. It's more to have PP leaving park without party tickets since MK doesn't close & reopen. PP had been staying in park without tickets. Also, more for ADRs too. There will be non-party times & party time ADRs for those that have tickets. Major difference last year vs previous years. They still don't post it earlier enough IMO, but reservations were not honored if booked during party, but no party ticket. Then when tickets went on sale, MVMCP & MNSSHP had links on their respective pages (Disney website) about dining policy during party. This info will be on Post 1 when details released. Also, a pop-up was added last year about dining during party without ticket & ADR not being valid when making ADRs. For more details, there was a thread under Dining forum, dining reservations thread. Also, in Post 1 of 2016 MNSSHP thread. Dining guidelines were same for MNSSHP & MVMCP.

This may sound like a silly question, but do people dress up for the Christmas party? Christmas shirts/outfits, etc? I've only ever done the Halloween party, and am wondering if I should plan a special outfit

We have & will this year. DD had outfit - ruffle bottom pant & ruffle bottom/sleeve shirt with Disney Christmas appliqué. DH & 1 wore red shirts with same applique, DH had Mickey head vs our Minnie head.

Thinking on this year, DD has outgrown the ruffle tops due to height not age. So thinking outside the box.

Most likely a typo, but 3 or 4 would be nice! The Halloween party nights show as 7pm close so I'd be surprised if they do something different for Christmas.

Sorry if this has already been said, but are there any rumors/ideas as to when the tickets will go on sale? I am hoping for the 11/16 party. Does that one usually Sell out? Thanks!!

 

[DianeMae]

Does anyone know what the Brazilian TAs have charged in the past compared to the actual price of the tickets? That might give everyone a better idea of the upcharge.

No rumors as of date from usual sources (blogs, websites, FB, etc.). OP posted here on sale Tuesday. Only 3 or 4 parties sold out last year. Post #2 indicates sold out parties & date sold out on in 2016. Nothing has sold out the 1st 3 months in the past, but you never know.

Just speculating here, but if the Brazilian prices are a reliable indication (and they may not be), then an extra hour of party time (starting at 6 PM, as currently indicated on the calendar) might be leading to a price increase. After all, adding an hour is a 20% increase in time, so a a similar percentage increase in price could be justified.

Oooh I now need to think Christmas outfit... We are in the UK and all our Christmassy stuff is UK suitable. I am guessing the thick jumpers will be a tad warm for Florida. My hubby keeps telling me it will be hot ... For us ... We usually visit in July. I am worried it will be cold

I am being told Tuesday (this week), but right now it is still rumor until Disney confirms.

You can already enter at 4 PM with a party ticket.

Florida in December is unpredictable. One day it could be 48 and the next day 80. (Fahrenheit)
It is best to pack for all kind of weather and check the weather each morning before leaving your hotel.
