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

[Lothlórien]

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

You will see people in custom shirts, santa hats, Mickey santa hats, wearing red and green, families/couples/groups with matching or themed shirts and such. Nobody dresses like elves, santa, reindeer, etc. Disney would not let them in if they did as they might be mistaken for a meet and greet character.

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

Yes you can enter early but I think they were pointing out the the actual party starting an hour earlier to justify a price increase and draw people back in!

We are thinking about attending the party on 11/17 our last night. We are at WDW from 11/9-11/17 and there are MVMCP's 6 of our 9 days! I know the MK will be busier during the 3 remaining non party days but Kenny The Pirate and WDW prep school crowd calendars list 11/13 and 11/15 as low crowds, but MK the least recommended park. My question is how busy would a low crowd but not recommended park be?

Anyone else see the MK hours on party days so far in November? Actual park close is 6pm. Did the party get extended one hour? Is it possible the Brazil price is not far off because of that extra hour? I know they upcharge but $20 seems to be a lot.

EDIT: Just saw the other posts mirroring my question so I didn't mean to repeat.

Having not done the dessert party after it started offering a place to see the parade, I can't really comment on that specifically but I'll say the BEST spot to watch the parade is indeed in front of Main Street Bakery! There's a 'snow' cannon right on top of it and the effect is maxed out. Your family can camp out there with mine!

LOL Lucy! Can you see the fireworks from this spot or do you go elsewhere for that?

You can see the fireworks but it's not the best spot. We usually start at the hub for the castle show, move down to near Casey's or The Plaza Ice Cream for fireworks and then make our way to Main Street Bakery for the parade. This schedule works quite well for the second parade.

This may be a stupid question, but is the price listed from the Brazilian TA in USD? could an exchange rate be a factor here as well?

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like the exchange rate is around $1.00USD to $3.20BRL. It seems like that would impact pricing in the Brazilian market.

Prices are always listed in USD for tickets.

This was exactly my thought. It would make sense with that price increase to get the price quoted and that's estimating around a 5-8.00 upcharge. I'm thinking that this is pretty close to the price this year.

If you ask me that extra hour makes these prices worth it, the party is a blast, the lines for rides are almost non existent and when staying at a monorail resort it is absolutely perfect!!

On a Brazilian TA website??

 

[JadeDarkstar]

I have not seen a price yet.

After another discussion with my mom, we've decided to skip MVMCP after all. We're going to instead spend part of that money on a dinner at California Grill and then go back and watch Holiday Wishes from their observation deck.

Part of me is sad not to go, but the other part of me is glad to save the money to be used elsewhere and to have our trip's schedule a little more opened up.

I'll still be following this thread and enjoying others' experiences with the party!

Does anyone know typically what time the tickets go on sale?

I'm contemplating not going too depending on the prices. If there is a big price increase, we may just add a park day and find some other fun experiences to do instead. I think I'm going more for me than the kids! I honestly don't know if they really care.

I was really hoping for tickets to go on sale today! Or at least prices to be announced. Those Brazilian TA prices are crazy. Even if they add an extra hour to the party time as suggested by the 6pm park closing, I still think it's crazy for them to be raising prices that much. They only sold out a handful of parties last year, I can't believe an extra hour of party time is going to entice people to pay even more than last year to attend a party.

 

[Aurora2017]

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

Me too! I think the 17th might sell out quicker this year than the last parties if those prices are correct! Those prices are more than a park ticket for only half a day!

Last year tickets prices were announced in the evening on May 4th. I purchased tickets that night around 11:10pm CST. So tickets went on sale on May 5th and were available at midnight.

Thank you so much! I am new at this but it's very exciting.

I was hoping they would go on sale today too! December is so far away so it's nice to have these moments to stay excited about the trip!
