It’s fun. It gets you into the holiday spirit.The parade is exciting(love the fake snow).The fireworks are fantastic. The cookies and hot chocolate are ok. Going onto not so crowded rides is wonderful ( go to favorites during fireworks or parade if shorter line is wanted. )The meet & greets are fun- but we aren't there for them( only if it’s a short line) .Overall, it’s the festive atmosphere that we love.Is MVMCP worth the money?
We tend to use it as an extra day, generally we won't go to Magic Kingdom the day of the party. Will go to Disney Springs or resort hopping etc. Then will get over there early when the party guests can arrive. Saves paying for essentially two tickets for Magic Kingdom.Is MVMCP worth the money?
It does sound fun, but I have to choose between this and Jollywood. Still trying to decide. I wish that I knew more about the DHS Jollywood and whether or not the MK will have EEH while I am there. If you could get a refund I would book it and cancel if the EEH happens. perhaps I'll wait and hope that it doesn't sell out.It’s fun.

We are pass holders so it works differently for us. Essentially I feel like I am paying twice for that day. But if I don't go, then I will feel like I'm losing part of my MK day. The pass is expensive then you pay for Genie+ and then for the night (party) separately. WOW! Disney is incredibly expensive now!We tend to use it as an extra day, generally we won't go to Magic Kingdom the day of the party.

If you only want to purchase admission to one of the holiday events I would personally select MVMCP. DHS is my favorite park and I still see more "value" in MVMCP. Jollywood Nights occurs after park close so it's basically an "After Hours" at DHS. You can still take in the Christmas ambiance at night without purchasing it in DHS whereas MVMCP closes MK down early 4 nights a week and the other 3 nights become massive swarms of people.It does sound fun, but I have to choose between this and Jollywood.

Thanks for mentioning this! I didn’t realize they had changed their policy on the party tickets to now allow returns.You can also purchase tickets from Undercover Tourist which has recently changed it's refund policy. You can return tickets and pay a 5% restocking fee up until the day prior to the event. Could be a nice insurance policy once we hear reports about the first few Jollywood Nights.
Wow! will they really refund 95% of a ticket that is nonrefundable if bought from Disney? That is exciting...Thank you!If you only want to purchase admission to one of the holiday events I would personally select MVMCP. DHS is my favorite park and I still see more "value" in MVMCP.

The calendar for November has been releasing on the extended view in the app. Epcot will have 2 EEH during the week of 10/29. It's listed on the calendar for Monday, 10/30 and Thursday, 11/2.
Starting 11/8 AK is getting EEH. I would NOT expect to see any EEH at MK or DHS while Jollywood Nights and MVMCP are running.

Oh no, sorry for the miscommunication. You have to buy the tickets through Undercover Tourist for Undercover Tourist to refund them. Undercover Tourist won't help with tickets purchased directly from Disney.Wow! will they really refund 95% of a ticket that is nonrefundable if bought from Disney? That is exciting...Thank you!
Plus I’m sure you save money on the ticket. We are taking a quick jaunt down just to do the party one night and a day at Epcot the next. Usually I stay on property and get length of stay, but since only an expensive party ticket and an expensive one day ticket, hit up AAA this time for just the two tickets and saved over 50 bucks, linked up nicely tooOh no, sorry for the miscommunication.

That really is personal choice. At 11 months they won’t remember anything, but you will. Depending on your baby they may sleep through some of the party.Sorry if asked in this 15 page thread, but what are thoughts of bringing an 11-month-old to the party? Worth it from pas experience?
This is our first year doing the party and this is exactly what we're doing!We tend to use it as an extra day, generally we won't go to Magic Kingdom the day of the party.

Good deal! Sometimes back when Animal Kingdom didn't have as much to do, or they closed at 5, we'd go there for the morning and early afternoon then drop in a Magic Kingdom, but I don't think we'll do it that way this year.This is our first year doing the party and this is exactly what we're doing!
And just to make sure...even though I know I have read this elsewhere...our new party tickets, park tickets, LL and photo pass pics will all work from our 2018 MBs. The only thing that may not work is ride photos - which will still show in our MDE account with bluetooth on. All correct?Correct. Every ticket that you have linked in MDE will work with your Magic Band.
I traveled in 2022 with 2019 MBs. Even with Bluetooth on, I was missing a ton of ride photos from the newer riders that autopopulate to your account.And just to make sure...even though I know I have read this elsewhere...our new party tickets, park tickets, LL and photo pass pics will all work from our 2018 MBs.

Historically all parties sell out so crowds are equal size at all parties.Will the last night (Dec 22nd) be sold out soon or do I have some time?
Is it a good night to go?
I’m figuring it might be my best bet to beat the crowds a bit?
I think it depends on your baby. We're going in December when our son will be 15 months, and we're forgoing it with him. He goes to bed at 7, and doesn't really do well if we try to push him past 8. So we wouldn't have a ton of time. If your LO goes to bed later or does okay with a changing schedule, it may be worth it?Sorry if asked in this 15 page thread, but what are thoughts of bringing an 11-month-old to the party?
