and the option of staying late in park. Normal ticketed customers have to leave park at normal time which equates to shorter lines at a lot of attractions.

And MUCH longer lines at all the special character meet-n-greet's during the events

cant seem to find out about pricing for kids under 3 and infants for the Christmas party...

No fee for the under 3 set to attend I'm taking DD who is 2 and got our tickets today

Is there a way that I can see the AP ticket prices? I'm considering getting an AP, and the savings on these tickets may just convince me!

I'll be honest, I only saved about $10 on the two tickets with my DVC discount, and it was the same as the AP.

I am debating between Sunday December 10 and Thursday December 14 same price so that doesn't help much thinking Sunday would be less crowded and should we get bad weather could opt for Thursday as back up

For any military waiting on that pricing: SOG said they would have it by Friday.

Thank you!

Will there be a big difference in crowds between Friday 11/10 and Sunday 11/12? We could do either, but going Friday just fits much better into our plan. If there's a really big difference, I can live with going Sunday. Thoughts?

 

[lovingeire]

I don't know if this has been shared yet. I saw it online in a FB group so take it with a grain of salt. We won't know for sure until Disney, Shades or maybe Military Disney Trips release their info:

"The dates for military discounted Halloween and Christmas parties are as follows (the list is not long unfortunately):

MNSSHP:
August 25, 29
September 1, 7, 10, 12, 17, 24

Adults- $51.80
Children- $48.30

MVMCP:
November 9, 12, 14, 16"

 

[Stasieki]

Yep.

Based on my current tentative plans it will be easy to switch my Friday and Sunday, so I will switch!

Is there much difference in crowds Nov 26 vs Nov 28? Wasn't sure how many stick around after Thanksgiving for that first Sunday party since there aren't any during the Thanksgiving week. I feel like a good number on this thread are going this week, so I'm wondering if it's going to be super busy or we're all just smart and try to find a "lower" crowd time to visit.

Okay so I've been reading some really conflicting reviews re: crowd levels. Some people say MVMCP is a great opportunity to ride attractions with low wait times but others say the parties are super crowded and lines for rides remain long. What's the verdict? Anyone have any examples of wait times we can expect?

 

[Lothlórien]

We have historically done 2 parties every year since 2001. With the increase in price, we are out. It is not the price alone, but that there is not a reduction in the number of tickets sold.

It depends on the night of the week you attend and how close you are to holidays.

An AP will not make the savings for ticketed event worth it. It will be worth it if you make more than one trip AND you take advantage of all of the discounts.

 

[TheFloatingBear]

are we 100% sure on this?

When you go to checkout it does say "price is for pass holders only"

I dont want to get to the gate and there be a problem with other people in my party.

I'm a new passholder and it's all a little confusing to me...in my handy dandy passholder handbook, it says for these specialty ticked MK park events, it says you can buy for the "Passholder and up to three guests", but it also says the discount is for day-of admission price and not "advanced sales admission price", but I can put them in my cart on MDE (I can't purchase yet, as I'm not sure of our plans, but was just checking to see about the discount). So, I'm not sure if I'm reading it right or what...

Had a very interesting conversation with a cast member today.

After speaking with a couple guest service managers and some others "in the know", Disney World is trying something new this year with the closing hours on party nights.

The party will still run from 7pm-12am, and the regular park hours will still be open to 7pm. However, on the computer system the park hours will stay open to only 6pm.

The change this year to make sure no dining reservations or fastpasses are scheduled after 6pm. This gives those that have dining and fastpasses the time to eat and ride before the party begins. The person did say the rides will still be open till 7pm, of course. The person said this was changed to help with the amount of people with dining reservations all the way up to 7pm, and then still being in the park after the party started.

Would that mean that if going to the party I wouldn't be able to book FP after 6?

Yes, the saving on the tickets would be one of those discounts.
