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

[SilSprBea]

I have a character question. Where exactly does Santa Claus meet? It says on the 1st page that he meets during the day-- does he replace Tinker Bell? Or does during the day mean between before the parade? We went last year to MK at the same time of year (skipped MVMCP) but he wasn't meeting at MK during the day (they had Tink and Mickey). I'd love for my kids to meet Santa just not sure how it works at the MK. Thanks

I’ll take 2!

Yes! I'm sooooooo STINKING EXCITED!

Gaaaaaahhhh!!! I am going crazy today- my last day of work, then we leave Saturday! I am stalking this thread reading every update as it comes in!

Thank you @monique5 for all your work on this- it’s been a ton of fun- can’t wait to hear about tonight!!!!

First-ever Christmas party, here we come!!!

It's been fun, and it's helped with my planning too!

 

[monique5]

Well, RIP me.

sorry if this has already been asked, but I have a cookie question! Are the cookies wrapped up when you get them or not? I'd like to try every cookie at the party but I get full pretty quickly so was thinking if theyre wrapped up I will save them to eat later! Or if they arent wrapped up i might take a little tupperware container so I can save them in that for later hahaha

In the past, he's been at Town Square - Next to City Hall (not Town Square Theater/across from there). You could meet him during the day or during the party. He will also be @ Disney Springs. He arrived @ HS today!!!!

They are not wrapped. However, no shame in taking some tupperware in your park bag and putting them in there for later.

I have, it's pretty quick. But it can be a wait too. PP MB not working --- usually haven't linked tickets, using Green RFID cards, asking questions about party maps, character locations, etc. The ones that are just happy to just be at the party, & I'm just trying to get my wristband and go.

Hmm...so, what would be the reason using the green RFID cards for the Christmas party versus the Magic Bands would slow things down? If you can't tell, I'm trying to also just get my wristband and go once we are there! My initial plan was to keep the MVMCP tickets and our magic bands separate, the party tickets are currently on my husband's MDE account which is currently not linked to mine.

Got it! I was thinking it was the Town Square Theater! Was he there last year? I don't remember seeing him while we were there last year.

sooooo excited about our first party next week on the 16th!! Me and two teenage daughters. Hoping for some short wait times, maybe. Which parade is best?? Should we do early one so we can take advantage of smaller crowds later at rides ect or enjoy smaller crowds while others are at first parade then smaller crowd while watching the 11:00 parade. I need to make a plan!! so excited!!

Thank you!!!

Theres so many delicious treats to try I want to try them all! So i guess I'll be carrying a little tupperware in my bag !

I honestly don't stay around to listen, I'm just trying to get my wristband and go. For the ones with issues, usually an assigning issue, not working, so maybe purchased from someone and it was already assigned to someone else ---not common, but seen a time or two? Like you listen to see what's going on & why not working, hoping it doesn't happen to you ---different scenarios going through your head --you know you've done this before, multiple times and it works, then realize, I need to be in a line, not my issue, so you're happy when next CM is available and move on.

Linking to MDE, and scanning MB is the way to go, IMO!

Thanks!

MVMCP Characters
Please report back. I'm continuing to check....

Snow White: Prince, no Prince? (Different postings)
No Santa Goofy? (Not seeing)
Daisy w/Donald this year? Donald not with Scrooge McDuck? (That what it says...)

No Tink. No Merida. (On all sites)

Work has me, WORKING, I know unfair and rude but such is life. I haven't checked anything new today but I thought Santa Goofy was listed in FantasyLand with Scrooge somewhere the other day, again may have been a generic posting that has since been updated. I still find the lack of Storybook Circus characters odd but again maybe that will change.

TGTIF because I need to focus on all the updates!

I’m so so excited, but nervous I wouldn’t see everything in one night next week, so I became impulsive and got 2 days next week xD

@kennythepirate could you verify if this is accurate?

Snow White being princeless makes sense, Eric was added with Ariel this year.

The duck ordering makes sense, Scrooge will be very popular this year.

 

[Alz]

Will they be streaming the parade this year?

The (non-Disney official) post I saw did show the princes with Snow and Aurora. It also listed all 3 ducks together (Scrooge, Donald and Daisy), which is definitely not how it’s been in the past. Where did you see no princes??
