Already! They must have reduced the number of tickets they're selling?

I’m betting not. New fireworks show. New ride overlays. Maybe new snacks. I have a feeling media and vloggers have bought them up to get the new scoop.

Heard a podcast this morning about the party last year. They said at 6 there were people already lining up on Main St. for the 8:00 parade and that many of them did not have party wrist bands. I guess there were several complaints at MNSSHP and MVMCP about CMs not checking wrist bands of people on Main St. so there were a lot of non-ticketed guests adding to parade and fireworks crowds. Has anyone had a similar experience? I thought they were pretty strict about wristbands after 6.

I have never noticed a lot of people in the parks without wrist bands, though honestly I've never specifically been looking. I have seen many, many times CMs escorting folks without a wrist band to the entrance, not allowing folks without a wristband to enter a ride a few minutes after 6pm, etc.

When you walk in the front entrance is there a way to not walk down Main Street? Last time we were there Main Street was so congested it was hard to walk.

There is a bypass, but I personally have been seen it open or been through it

Yes. At some point (at least by the beginning of the party), they open the side street to the right of Main Street. It starts just past Tony's Town Square restaurant.

Plus it’s Jersey week. When I bought tickets to the 11/8 party 6 weeks ago, I was worried that if I didn’t hurry they’d be sold out! I’m actually surprised that it took this long.

Do you know if they keep that side street open throughout the party?

We’re doing the party at Tony’s where we can go in and out btwn 9:30-12:30. I’m hoping that we can use the side street to avoid the crowds.

The bypass will be open once MVMCP guests are allowed to enter the park while it is still open to day guests to help alleviate chaos on Main Street. MVMCP guests will be encouraged to walk through the bypass, but it is not necessary. The bypass will close by 8pm since day guests can no longer enter the park and a bulk of them will have filtered out by then. I would not expect it to be open for you to go back and forth to Tony's.

Is it a given that the first MVMCP (Nov 8) will sell out?

And, be super crowded?

November 8 is already sold out. I would expect it to be very crowded with lots of vloggers/bloggers. There may be a roped off section for them in front of the castle as well. I know some Vloggers mentioned them getting that for MNSSHP

 

[Turksmom]

I wish I had waited. I already bought MVMCP tickets awhile back. I hope there is enough guest backlash to keep them from offering the Pass for MVMCP.

I'm hoping if it is offered, that there will be a way to bridge already purchased party tickets.

 

[KevinW]

We received our tickets for the Nov 8th party a while back. I'm not surprised it is sold out for Jersey week Was reading approx 20,000 tickets sold before they call it sold out?

 

[Turksmom]

I’m going to the party November 18th. My son is extremely scared of fireworks because of the noises. On July 4th we watched the local show from inside our car and he liked it. Is there anywhere in the park to see the fireworks that is farther back or quieter?

You won't be able to see much of the projections and it's quieter, but not completely quiet, but the Storybook Circus area has some good viewing options.

 

[DisneyRobin]

I’m still on the fence about going to Tony’s party during the Xmas party on 11/8. I reserved it once, cancelled and then reserved again. It seems like fun and I’d love a great view of the parade. Just worried that I won’t really get a great view since a lot of bloggers are expected for the 1st party and people will probably reserve their spots within the party viewing area ahead of time (something I was hoping not to do since we’d have the vip area).

Maybe we’re better off viewing from frontier land like we usually do?

Our only priorities for the party are to go on lots of rides and see the parade.

Thoughts?

I really hope they DON’T offer the season pass to the MVMCP since it has inflated crowds at MNSSHP parties. It makes the one time per year party for out of town guests less desirable if they sell out AND have all the pass guests. Great for Disney’s $$ pockets but horrible crowds for the ones who have spent a lot for the one party their family can attend.

If Jack and Sally start meeting guests at 4:15, does that mean guests without MVMCP bands can meet them also? Does that make their line twice as long? The front page says we can get bands in the line so hopefully that is the case which will make thing much simpler. I am assuming since the others all start after 6:00 that you have to have bands for them.

If I’m remembering correctly they scanned our magic bands before getting in line to make sure we had party tickets. That was last year when we went to MNSSHP

Sadly I agree. I probably wouldn’t have bought party tickets if I knew the seasonal pass was going to be a thing. I am hoping the high crowd levels for the Halloween party prevent them from offering it for the Christmas party.

Actually, I'm in PA, but there are parties 4/7 days that we're there. I can definitely understand the issue with crowding- just saying if it is offered, I hope they bridge the regular tickets, so I can spread the things we'd like to do across multiple parties. Especially if they'll be crowded.

Whee is the parade viewing spot if we did the Tony’s party?
