MVMCP & FP+

Anyone within FP+ booking window with MVMCP tickets?
9/10/17 is 60D for November 9th, if onsite.

TIA!

This is my question too! My FP+ window opens on Friday and I'm wondering if I should buy my tickets today so that I can book fastpasses for the 4-7 window before party! Anyone do this yet?

Not personally, but read in my FB group that several have done it already. Booking windows for most attractions run until 6 pm.

In the past, if the party had not sold out PP had been able to change their dates. So yes, call soon to change. No explanations needed, enjoy the AK VIP Tour, I've been considering it myself.

Our TA was able to change our MVMCP nights for us! We were originally scheduled for 12/21, but she was able to change it to 12/17, saving us around $60. My only regret is losing our 6:40pm BOG reservation from our original MVMCP party night. I have been searching high and low for another reservation! I got an alert from Touring Plans last week with a perfect time before our party, but by the time I signed on it was gone.

Many thanks for the replies, guys! I will be calling Disney in a few days and will keep my fingers crossed!

TIA!

We are going 11/9 and I booked my FP+ on 9/1 using my AP, so not much help in regards to booking FP+ with just the party ticket. However, the last FP+ is interesting...here's what I have:

Jungle Cruise: 3:25-4:25
7DMT: 4:25-5:25
Space Mountain: 5:30-6:00

Makes sense with park officially closing 2 6pm on MVMCP nights.

Ha! I feel you on the "good" seats. We had always done floor seats, row 1 unless in Atlanta, pre-sale. Even took my uncle once & he loved it. When we moved, I wasn't set up for pre-sales in this area, so we were like on Row 10. You would have thought that I had told them no snacks, no treats and this is our last show. I so couldn't enjoy the show, NOT, listening to their bickering about how I could have them in such seats. We still talk and laugh about that 2 years later.

I have the dessert party booked, but will probably cancel since parade viewing is not included. When we 1st went to MVMCP, parade viewing wasn't included like it was for MNSSHP, DD was 5 @ that time, so the dessert party was more of a place to sit, relax, and regroup - 1st time with stroller (intentionally didn't bring to WDW) - and enjoyed for those very reasons. Then we attended MNSSHP a few times, and the parade viewing was included, AMAZING! I was excited when last year's MVMCP Dessert Party finally included parade viewing since we were going this year. Then the whole included/not included calls/posts occurred. As of date, I'm pretty sure it's not included. So now I have a value issue, price increase, NO parade viewing, and Garden View Dessert Party now offered. Last year we left out from TT and went to the grassy area (charging now at lower cost)-back and forth. The view is pretty descent, but I have seen the fireworks with better views in other areas. So now, can't justify that cost with okay view, descent desserts, other area not available and no parade viewing. Just my rant. Sorry.

So to answer your question, for just fireworks view, not sure if worth cost, since seats are 1st come, 1st serve. But time wise, probably good value, Garden View would be good - view and cost, since you wouldn't have to hold a spot for a while.

We now do club seats for Disney on Ice since my job sells them at a discount. Huge mistake because every year I hope and pray they do club seats again. I don't know what will happen if they don't. lol They are great because you can sit at the bar area and get a perfect unobstructed view. She loves it. DD is 12 and we go every year the day after Christmas since that's when they come to Philly.

We aren't going to WDW until next year (mother/daughter trip) but I like to plan ahead. I would like to do MVMCP with the holiday dessert party at the plaza garden. We did Wishes FP+ there years ago and really enjoyed it. I don't like being squeezed in a crowd and DD likes a view. Decisions..decisions!

Can I be your guest for club seats? Lol!

If crowd & time is most important, then book the Dessert Party, you'll get monies worth for stated reasons. I'd just keep up with reviews, on views, crowds, etc. b/t the 2 options. Then see what's offered next year. Happy Planning!

I've been planning this trip since last March.

So those that are booking fp's and have a mvmcp night are able to book fp for mvmcp from 4-6 without it bumping the last day of your trip like they said was happening for mnsshp?

Booking window just opened up the last 3D maybe a few days before depending on length of onsite stay. PP have posted that they can, no emails yet (still early & parties haven't started), OP just posted problems (not very detailed to determined actual problem).

There is a dedicated thread for MVMCP & Scheduling FP+, so reports won't get lost throughout the pages of this thread. The link has been added to Post #1 under FP+ details.

After constant back and forth, this will be my first year finally attending MVMCP! I am so excited, more so than I had expected honestly. I'll be there on Nov 10th, so I won't get much of a chance to see many reports prior to it, but still. I love MNSSHP and I am sad to miss it, but hopefully MVMCP will more than make up for it. I am most looking forward to meeting Sandy Claws lol.

This will be our first MVMCP also! We are going December 17th! So excited!

I know this has been discussed in the past but with no definitive clarification. Was wondering if we have any updated and accurate info in regards to the possibility of reserved parade seating for those who booked the holiday wishes dessert party as it has been done in the past? I'm sorry if this has been recently answered, I honestly didn't go through the entire thread. I do recall it was asked in the past but no one had an answer. Was wondering with the Halloween party now going on if we have some better insight. Thanks everyone!

MNSSHP does NOT include parade viewing. I suspect MVMCP will be the same.

 

[Piglet001]

Ok, sorry if this was already asked but does anyone know if Phineas and Ferb will be at the dance party at Cosmic Rays this year? My son is a big fan (ok, me too ) and I heard they have been at past parties. Any help is appreciated!

Just found this thread and will be keeping an eye on it. We went to the party on our last visit in 2014 and loved it so going back at least once on our next trip. We did spend along time waiting for 7 dwarves last time so I am pleased we dont have to do that one again and looking forward to seeing other M&G's and doing some rides. Cant recommend the parties highly enough even if the cost is creeping a little high now. Thanks for all the info sharing

For sure: there will not be reserved parade SEATING, in the past it was reserved standing section. No one will know for sure until the parties start, some people were told MNSSHP would not include parade viewing but MVMCP does. We'll only know for sure when the parties start and someone reports back.

Does the Christmas party run until 12am?

Also, are you able to sit on main street even after the party has finished for half an hour or so to let the crowds die down or will they usher everyone towards the exit when the party finishes?
