Hi everyone!
I just returned from my trip to Disney.
This was my third time at DW and my first Christmas party! It was everything I expected and more.
I’ve been keeping up with this thread and I’m so thankful for all the tips. So I’m sharing a quick recap in hopes it will help others too.

My goals for the party were to take advantage of rides, see Holiday Wishes, and eat treats.
The 5th sold out
(which by the way, the parks were crazy busy these past 4 days. Ride wait times fluctuated but the parks always felt crowded. Not complaining, I just didn’t expect it.)
and something I didn’t prepare for were the mobs of people exiting the park when I arrived at 4. Wait times shot up towards the 6PM closing and character lines were pretty full.
So we decided to just take it easy and just roam around and start finding the treat areas.
They started handing out treats at 6:30ish and was really pleased by how well each station handled the crowds. The most I waited was around 5 minutes maybe less. By 7:00ish I made way around the park and tasted everything. Y’all the Snowman Pretzel is a nice mix up from all the cookies!
We started getting on rides, everything was pretty much a walk on with the exception of 7DMT.
We went to Main Street and got an okay view of the first parade. I was never a huge parade fan until I saw the Christmas parade. Even with viewing behind a crowd, it was amazing! After the parade we staked out a spot for Holiday Wishes and took a nice break while sitting on the ground next to the Walt statue.
After Holiday Wishes we went to 7DMT and waited 20 mins.
Finally, I wanted to see the line for the 7 Dwarfs picture. I arrived around 11:30 and the line wasn’t bad! So we got in and got a picture with the dwarfs. While waiting, Santa Goofy walked by and interacted with the Dwarfs for a bit. It was really cute. Our wait time was about 20 mins!
After the picture we finished the night with another ride on 7DMT.
Even with the party being sold out, it was a BLAST!
It’s hard to explain the feeling you get from being at
MVMCP but it’s something we really enjoyed.
