"Official" 2018 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Holiday Magic

[Tessaf]

Quick question with regards to HS jingle bam and Epcot’s holiday night show. Do they do dessert parties with viewing areas?

Yes, they have had a dessert party for JBJB in the past. And it’s the best of all the dessert parties, IMO.

Nothing additional in Epcot.

Thank you for that information!! I will have to keep an eye out and book it when it opens up! I've done the MK party so I'm all for JBJB!

Do you know if it overlaps with Fantasmic? We have a dining package booked with the VIP seats for that already.

Jingle Bell Jingle bam was actually much better last year I wouldn’t dismiss it.

Depending upon when you are going, it could overlap. In November, Jingle Bell Jingle Bam replaces the Star Wars fireworks, so I believe it runs during that time, which is right before, during, or right after Star Wars. At some point in December, they have run both shows, but I can't remember the order.

We are going last week of November. I’ll have to keep my fingers crossed that they don’t overlap.

Searching around a bit, I think JBJB started about 30 minutes before Fantasmic in November. It might not be possible to get a good seat for F!, even with the dining package. They might do different timing this year though. We'll just have to wait

Thank you for searching! Hopefully the times and stuff come out soon I’m not the best at being patient and waiting

I think info came out in about August 9th last year. I am looking for Thanksgiving week, so I have been researching it some. They will probably have a dedicated thread once it's announced. If they don't, go look or ask on the Star Wars thread. They keep up with most DHS info over there.

Thank you for all the wonderful advice! I didn’t even know about JBJB until tonight and I was worried I was behind! I’ll keep checking their website and the threads on here daily till it shows up.

I hope they do this again this year! - https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/b...ly-during-mickeys-very-merry-christmas-party/

Only BTMRR, SM, Dumbo, 7DMT, & SM listed. Will continue to monitor. I got this from Page 1. And I have read the same on the Disney Web Site.

Am I reading this correctly? Are these the only rides open during the party? Please tell me that is not the case. I can't see spending over $400 for a family of 4 with only these rides available. I know you get other things but the rides with hopefully shorter lines during the holidays was the main reason for even considering this as an option.

Thanks in advance to all with comments.

I never noticed that before. Surely more will be added. Disney is not the best at updating their website

It is still early. They will release more later. Look on page one for the list from last year. It is under the small print of what you read for this year. All the rides and attractions aren't open but there are a significant number of them that are. I would base it on what was open last year. Disney is usually consistent when it comes to stuff like that. Hope that helps. I am mainly going for the exclusive Christmas stuff.

There were a lot of rides open the last three parties we went to. I am sure it will end up the same as usual as time gets closer.

My momma rocks!! She usually gets gift cards for me for Christmas and my birthday for my Disney trips. She just bought my Christmas party tickets for my sister, my niece and me. We are going on the 16th of December! Can’t wait! This will probably be the only time we get to go around Christmas.
Now all I lack to be able to really finish my trip planning is Candlelight Processional dining package and Jingle Bell Jingle Bam dessert party!!

I did see the "open" rides from last year. Plus we did it like 6yrs ago and many rides were open. It just scared me when I saw only a few rides at this point this time. Since the tickets are non refundable, I wanted to reach put to the disboards for advice.

Hi! Our only options for MVMCP would be the first night Thurs 11/8 or Fri 11/9. Do you think these dates will sell out? If so, how close to the dates would they sell out? And which night would you suggest? Thank you!

Did any of you going on the 29th get dinner reservations? I got almost everything I wanted on my 180-day mark, but nothing was open for dinner except late during the party and I didn't want to do that. Hoping a BOG reservation opens up around 5pm!

I got the plaza at 5pm, we don't know if we'll keep it just yet.
