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

This may be a daft question - do they have meet and greets at the party with Mickey and Minnie in Holiday costumes too

Last year, Minnie and Daisy met together in cute Christmas dresses. I believe Mickey meets in Town Square Theater in a Christmas tux.

Minnie is in a peppermint design dress. It's awesome!

For those who have been to a MVMCP before, do the characters that normally meet during the day "change outfits" between the park closing and the party starting or do they meet in those outfits all day long? I know my kids want to see a bunch of the characters and I know my wife wants the pictures with their Christmas outfits and I'm not sure we'll get through the whole list plus get to the parade and also Wishes during the party time. Thanks!

There are some characters that do not meet during regular park hours, and yes several are in Christmas/Holiday attire.

It depends who...characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy change into party outfits. Others like Merida, Tinkerbell, and Ariel stay in their day outfits. I would check out Kenny The Pirate's site, he has a lot of good info!!

I noticed in last year's park map for MVMCP they listed Jungle Cruise as JINGLE Cruise..does anyone know if they change up the script or anything for this ride during MVMCP or was that just a cute thing to put on the map?

Yes, different script with holiday jokes and some decorations.

It's a full overlay (and it's during regular park hours as well) and there are script changes. They've done it for the past two years at both DL and WDW.

I've been reading that for the Halloween party there is a dessert party and reserved seating for the parade that you can buy. Is there the same sort of thing for the Christmas party?

 

[bookbunny]

This will be our first time going. I cant wait to see all the sites.

 

[lolash]

I'm so excited for this. This will be my first time at MVMCP. I'll be there the second week in December!

Yes there is and it includes a spot around the tree to watch the first parade. The dessert is afterwards for the fireworks. For the parade while the area is reserved if you want to be on the curb you would need to get there early. The tables for the desserts are not reserved either and there is a mad dash from the parade viewing to that as well. It takes up a good portion of the party so you would just have to decide what's the most important, if your attending 2 parties this is a great option.

 

[bookbunny]

So will we.

Yes, there was one last year & it was the 1st time for MVMCP, as opposed to MNSSHP offering it for a few years. So I did not add to Post #1, was waiting for an announcement. Since there have been a few inquiries, I've added 2016 Holiday Wishes Dessert Premium Party to Post #1 - Is there a Dessert Premium Party?

Thank you. Have you ever attended one of these dessert parties? Do you still have to be to the parade early to get a decent spot within the reserved parade area? And then when you go to the fireworks viewing area - if you are one of the last ones getting there can you still see the fireworks nicely? We are attending the Christmas Party on the 9th and the 10th (our last two nights of our holiday) and was thinking that if it's going to be crazy busy on the 10th it might be good to do the dessert party. On the other hand, if it takes just as much time as staking out a spot for the parade and finding a spot for fireworks ourselves then not sure it's a good idea. This will be our first time so super excited to get to attend!

Is the fireworks display the same for the party night as other nights?

Do they only do the jingle cruise during the parties or is this something they do throughout the Christmas period?

 

[robndani]

We always try to arrive at least 40 minutes before the parade and back in 2014 we're on first row for the second parade but I've seen reports from last year that it's getting more crowded than the first one. I'd still go for the second one because we make a point of staying around the same area for the castle show, HolidayWishes and the parade, so we only have to go towards the entrance of the park one time. If 2nd or 3rd row is alright with you arriving with 10 minutes to spare is more than enough.

We've never watched a parade from Main Street or the hub (except when we fastpassed FOF when it was new). We usually watch from Frontier land too.

Would the dessert party give us the best view or in front of one of the stores on Main St? I'm sure my husband would happily camp out in front of Starbucks!

Not just during the parties, it's during regular park hours too!
