Has anyone purchased tickets for the MVMCP through Undercover Tourist since they are "slightly" discounted?

I bought my 5 day WDW pass from them, then just entered the ticket numbers on My Disney. No problem. I was able to start choosing my FP's immediately.

On the other hand here's my gameplan...
Boat from WL to MK, Eta should be between 4:00-4:20 PM

• Get wristband, if not entering through event entrance
• FP - Space Mountain (4:40-5:40 PM; which I have to my disposal)
• Grab “light” Dinner at Launching Pad
• 5:05-5:15 PM - get into line for Nick & Judy (last year they came out at 6:15 PM, so I assume it will be the same scenario this year)

Park Closes to Day Guests at 6:00 PM, MVMCP starts at 7:00 PM​

• Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
• Grab Cookies/Cocoa from Friar Nooks
• Splash Mountain
• BTMRR
• A Frozen Holiday Wish (8:15 PM)
• Peter Pan’s Flight
• M&G - Scrooge McDuck (if time allows)
• Find a good spot for Holiday Wishes (10:00 PM)
• Go to Main Street Train Station and Watch 2nd OUACT Parade from there (11:00 PM)
• Jingle Cruise
• Cookies/Cocoa (as time allows)
• 11:55 PM - Mickey’s Most Merriest Celebration

I could see myself heading back to Wilderness Lodge by 12:20-12:45 AM - Boat to WL

Will BTMRR be open during the party?
It's not listed as an open attraction for last year's party

Last year it was under refurbishment

Sneaky. This was just updated.

Omg We are going to be sick on pretzels and egg nog!

 

[monica9]

Just bought 5 tickets to the December 3rd party.

The whole group's first MVMCP, so that should be fun.

We will be there that night too!

 

[monique5]

Tomorrow is the 1st MVMCP of 2017! ​

 

[DaisyNY]

Where can I find a map and show times? Does anyone have a link? Thanks!

Thanks for the info!
We got a FP for 4:30 since I thought it wouldn't be open.
Now we can look forward to more rides that evening!

Map will be available at the 1st party. Sometimes "leaked"1-2D before. As of now, no. When released someone will post here, and it will be updated on Post #1 under Party Map.

Show times: See Post #1 - MVCMP Entertainment

I've been listening to Holly (XM) in the car on occasion, hasn't helped ---in regards to party map & open attractions. It has inspired me to finish up my t-shirt designs.

Between waiting on the party map and the change to 12/13 hours I am driving myself crazy. At least MB should ship today! Now if only it was a little closer to start stalking weather

Well I did put away DD Christmas gifts in 1 box. I took our shirts to my friend last night (organizing by days). Working on 2nd batch now.

DH found Polar Express in Orlando, it looks pretty cool, thinking about that on 1 night.

I was able to get breakfast @ CP on our last day. That'a been a challenge (B on 12/27) after finding a super deal on airfare (PM) late in the game, so I wasn't too picky , but I did need to be in the MK, and it did need to be somewhere we would eat, and it did need to be at a certain time for DME, and it didn't need to interfere with our FP+ selections. So no, wasn't picky at all.

 

[monique5]

Looks like wdwmagic.com updated attractions, characters, restaurants, and specialty foods. updating Post #1.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

I apologize if this has already been asked. I searched, but didn't find what I was looking for. DH saw a commercial for the Christmas party and said we should go. If we do we'd probably go on Dec 21 since DS would be on break from school. I keep reading that it will be crowded, but I've never been to a ticketed event so I wasn't sure exactly on a scale of 1-10 what to expect. Will it be wall to wall people? How will wait times for rides be? I know we probably wouldn't check out the popular meet and greets, maybe a princess or 2 for DD and Mickey and Minnie.

Depends on what you want to do. That will most likely be a sold out party, or close to it. Main Street will be packed because people will be watching the parade and fireworks and shows.

Attractions should be walk ons except for PP, SDMT and Jingle Cruise which might be around 20-30.

The special parade and fireworks at the party will be available in MK after the last party. So you could see those on different day.

The special characters will vary depending on popularity. The most popular will have hour plus waits.

 

[OhioStateBuckeye]

Well that's disappointing about the special characters. I guess Moana and Eric are new, though they were at the MNSSHP. Same old same old. Not sure why I thought it'd be any different.
