Went to the 12/16
MVMCP and like the others I agree that even though the party was sold out, DH and I had a great time! The only stress really was actually getting to the MK and getting into the park at the event entrance. Once we were past that it was smooth sailing! The only thing I will say is that We waited quite a bit even with our FP for Mine Train before the party so if I were to do it differently I honestly think I'd skip Mine Train and just get a FP for something else because we didn't have any issues using our FP for Space Mountain!
My cousin and aunt who did not have party tickets came in with us at 4 just to see the decorations and to grab a drink from Starbucks which apparently took an hour for them to get. We had split off from them and had zero wait for a coffee from the Joffreys stand in Tomorrowland so that was definitely the better move if you needed caffeine!
Splash was a walk on since it was chilly out but it honestly wasn't that bad and I kind of wish we had ridden it twice!
Since we were doing Tony's we didn't want to watch the parade twice but were stuck on the side of the Adventureland side of the park so we took the time to get some really awesome photopass pictures with zero lines. The parade was going by so it made the experience super magical.
DH and I both really enjoyed the Tony's party. I really wanted the prime spot down Main Street and we sat down around 10:30. If I ever did it again I think I would just come out once the parade was coming to grab whatever spot was left to enjoy the Tony's atmosphere more. After the parade we went back into Tony's to enjoy more food and drinks while the crowds emptied out of the park. I would say my only "complaint" would be that I wished the party started at 9 instead of 9:30 because we felt a bit rushed in the first half hour to make it to see the fireworks. But other than that we really enjoyed it. Especially when we were pretty chilled after the parade and came back to warm and delicious hot cocoa and hot cider!
In regards to watching the fireworks with the Tonys party we left Tonys at about 10:55 and found a great spot parallel with Caseys. We could see the perimeter fireworks and it was super magical!
Overall, we had a great time!
