"Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

[SilSprBea]

I’ve done both parties / views. Do the garden. It’s a million times better. Plus, there’s so few people, most sit in the grass, so you’re still seated. And you still get a seat on the terrace for your desserts. All tables are NOT created equal on the terrace and many have obstructed views. Every view in the garden is near-perfect. Plus, it’s cheaper!! Win-win-win!!

Thank you! It sounds like the plaza is the way to go! Out of curiosity have you done either dessert party before a party? Maybe the MNSSHP? I know last years MVMCP dessert party was different because of the reserved parade viewing so maybe this years MNSSHP is a better comparison. I’m wondering if my plan of seeing parade and then heading to the party is unrealistic?

We are going to the first party next Thursday night. We are so excited. This will be our first trip at Christmas time. I know the first party is sold out. Any idea what the crowd will be like? Will it be manageable?

Also, my dd has Celiac and is limited on what she can eat. Does anyone know if there are GF treats available?

There were GF treats last year ----gluten-free and allergy-friendly Enjoy Life Chocolate Chip Cookies. WDW is good about this, so I would think they would be available this year too. There was allergy friendly treats available during MNSSHP this year.

MNSSHP to MVMCP. Older video but cool.

Newer version.

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback! Since you did this recently for MNSSHP, did you watch the first parade prior to the dessert party? I’m wondering if it’s unrealistic for us to do both the 1st parade and then head straight to the dessert party?

Sorry, I mistyped, I did the dessert party but not on a party night. The location in the garden was great but the desserts unimpressive.

Six more days to the first party!! We'll finally now what characters, cookies and special photo ops will be available. Hopefully the party map leaks this weekend!

During MSNNHP the first parade was at 9:15, so it was impossible to do both the first parade and the dessert party. But I would think it would be possible at MVMCP. If you watch near the hub the parade should be past you right around 9 if running on schedule. Also, there’s no need to arrive at the dessert party right at 9 - the desserts will be replenished throughout the event and there are plenty of tables. Though we do usually head to the garden about a half hour prior to the start of the fireworks to stake out our spot (we’ve done both party and non party nights and have followed the same schedule). But I’m picky about my spot as I like to photograph. You can easily arrive later and still get a great spot....which means more time for desserts!

No. OP just meant that there has been much news this week, and the 1st party is in 6D so those details are coming soon. Then the party map should be available 1-2D before 1st party.

My productivity at work today is already low, now all I can think about are cookies, hot cocoa and snow and lights on Main Street

Thanks!!!! Really appreciate the insight. We’ve never done either MVMCP or a dessert party so brand new to these things!

Same here. I'm working on t-shirt designs. You know, my overstock I mentioned. Looking into 2 shirts on some days. Too much?

Options and outfit changes are a MUST! I told the DH this weekend we have to nail down our MVMCP shirts it is getting close. I just ordered matching Epcot shirts for our arrival day and another set for departure LOL
