I was at
MVMCP on Friday 11/16. It was wonderful! I was worried because I heard Friday nights were crowded with locals, but I think the temps (low 40s) kept alot of people away. The parade and fireworks were awesome! We got to the park around 5:50, watched the regular fireworks, went to the 7:00 Twas.....show (loved it), saw the special fireworks and 2nd parade (wonderful), and rode everything in Fantasyland with no wait. We also did the Indy cars, Haunted Mansion and Monster's Inc, so we skipped most of that on our full MK day. We had 2 rounds of hot chocolate and cookies. The character lines were long, so the only pics we did were Jasmine and Alladin near the Magic Carpets and Donald in his tree lot (not crowded at all after the 2nd parade). We also had pictures done in front of the castle as we were leaving at midnight. I would definitely do it again!
