Thanks for starting this thread with the information. I look forward to the updates as they become available.
 
Are you serious? The Seven Dwarfs are possibly going to be meeting at MVMCP? OMG! That just made my entire month!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!
 
Yay! Glad I made your month!!! That's the list I was given today and I think it's pretty accurate. I'm not expecting a lot of changes to it, like we saw with the MNSSHP list.
 
I'm in!! Can't wait for December!!!

It says the seven dwarfs might be there! But quick question is says in skyway? whats that?
 
I'm pretty sure it's referring to the stroller parking area near iasw. Used to be a loading dock for the skyway.
 
Thanks for starting this, Berlioz:thumbsup2 If you want to meet SW & 7, I suggest being in line early. This line (and the line for free face painting) was extremely looooong all night. DGrD and I started the line at last years MNSSHP at about 6PM and it grew quickly. I would rather spend an hour of non-party time waiting in line. Last year they added a Photopass Photog to the spot and our pictures are AWESOME!! Of course we dressed as SW and the Evil Queen - so let me make that "PRICELESS"!.:goodvibes

I don't think they do the free face painting for MVMCP, do they? We did it at MNSSHP last year, and now I think we'll have to do it every trip. :rotfl: Oops!! The kids' loved it! They both wanted to be blue cats.

We got in line for Snow and Co. around 6:30 during MNSSHP (they came out at 7:30), and we were tenth in line. Definitely agree that if they're at the Christmas party...get there early!!! :thumbsup2
 
We will be attending our first MVMCP on Nov. 16th. I don't how much we will be standing in line for the characters. We love everything about WDW but my DS is now 10. Usually only if it is a rare character sighting my DS will get in line to meet the character. Which is fun because we have made it like a treasure hunt game. I am interested in the 7 dwarfs & Belle/Beast but we do not need to stand in long line for characters & no one is disappointed.
 
I thought Uncle Scrooge was at MVMCP? I didn't see him on the list - I was really hoping to see him at the party!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Uncle Scrooge meets during the day during the holidays and may not be out at the party. Not sure though.

I didn't post it just because it changes so frequently (we're already on the fifth version for MNSSHP), so just make sure you update your list so people have the most current info - thanks!

You are correct, Scrooge appeared at past MVMCP. However, the list I was given said the word "CUT" next to his name and did not indicate a location (as the Tree Lot area is gone due to FLE).

Donald was moved to his regular day time greeting location, over in Frontierland. I'm not sure if he will be dressed as a lumberjack as he has been for past holiday seasons.

Everything posted has the chance to change. Updating is the most fun!! Always ready for the latest news.
 
Wow, the Seven Dwarfs at MVMCP!! Do you think that's really a definite?

They are a MUST meet for us... especially my daughter. We're actually surprising her with a late Sept/early Oct quick trip just so we can do MNSSHP for the first time - and see the dwarfs!

Now, granted, we're anxious to finally do MNSSHP, never have been that time of year, we're excited - but a huge perk of it was the dwarfs - part of me thinks maybe should skip it, save some money and just make our Thanksgiving trip longer and wait till then to see the dwarfs. Hmmmm...... and if skipped our MNSSHP trip, then would have the money to do a spring trip instead.

We're doing two MVMCPs this time, and now can't wait to see the dwarfs! Maybe will not tell my dwarf-loving daughter about it and totally surprise her with them - she wouldn't be expecting it as they've never been at MVMCP before!
 
We are planning on going to the Nov 12 MVMCP and I was wondering if they do special shows this early. I know there is the parade, but is there more?


Thanks.

Does anyone know if they will have the face painting and if so, where? Thanks!
 
I just ordered my tickets for Dec 12. Here's hoping the kids (DD9, DD7 and DDalmost4) can stay up to enjoy it. We're planning to sleep in the mornings before and after. But we'll be ready if they get cranky, and head back to the resort anyway.
 
in years past, after the last party date which is the 19th this year, don't they hold the party like atmosphere every night through Christmas? I'm not seeing that in the calendar for Dec, or is it just the parade they do each night?
 
Are all of the rides open during the party?

My wife and I will be making our first appearance at the party!!!
