Official 2013 MVMCP Information

[wn01aa]

We just arrived at tonight's party and we were able to pull a fast pass for Space Mountain with our hard ticket.

The hard ticket reports have been very inconsistent as to whether or not they pull FP-. Some people's MVMCP cards have pulled FP during the 4-7 timeslot before the party, others have not. Some have also said there plastic ticket worked in the FP- the days following the party. Would be interested if your hard tickets pull FP- after tonight's party.

I can do a test tomorrow and see. Thankfully we did receive a KTTW card so we do not need them. I did it here to report back to Dis. I remember someone asking earlier. Not sure if it was this thread or another. I want to clarify that we have two hard tickets but only pulled one fp- I am not trying to take advantage of the system. (And I could have used my KTTW card for it since I have hoppers. I just did it to test. )

Thanks. I look forward to seeing if it works tomorrow. I am at POP starting on Saturday so I wont get a KTTW card and would like something that I can pull FP- with like the other resorts.

We just returned from Disney and were able to pull fp with mvmcp. Tix from 4-7 nite of party. That was 12/5. On sat 12/7 we were NOT able to use them at Epcot for fp. It spit out a card saying we did not have a valid. Card for admission to Epcot that day. So no it did not work for us beyond the party day.

We are staying onsite and ordered our magic bands with FP and scheduled all 3 fast passes for 4-7 pm. I hope it works. I also linked our MVMCP tickets to the MBs. They are showing up on MDE as linked.

I guess we will see next week how all of this works out. But really, who cares!! We are at Disney!

I'm in DHS right now and my MVMCP Ticket from 12/5 also did not work today.

Old KTTW room-only cards DO work in the Fp machines!

I just tried to pull fp- with last night's MVMCP hard ticket and it did not work. The paper said not valid. Sorry.

If there is a CM near the Fp- machine, you can ask for a card which will enable you to pull Fp-.

Blasé is not the correct descriptor. They are reacting to many guest complaints!

Went to the party last night, and here's a few observations.

It was freezing cold. 50 degrees!! Lots of people in hats and jackets.

Starting at about 6:00, they were checking arm bands every few feet just as you walked around. This lasted until about 7:30 from what I could tell. It seemed like they were really trying to flush all the non party people out quickly. I was surprised they started before 7. They were even guarding the bathrooms. I thought, well there's a good way to get people out, no band, no peeing!

The lines for the characters didn't seem all that crowded to me. They were shorter than some of the ride lines. I saw a few with no more than 10 people in them, but it may have just been my timing when I walked by, and not sure how long those 10 people waited.

Tried to buy a tin and was told that they are only selling the complete set of the pins. All individual pins have sold out.

Wanted to buy a green party sweatshirt but couldn't find any in the right size. Shirts were really picked over. I didn't have a lot of luck finding party merchandise in general at all. I may just have been looking in the wrong places, but where I did see it, it was very limited with what was left.

It's a Small World was up and running and had a line!

Peter Pan also had a 15 minute or more line all night as far as I could tell. We kept checking, hoping for a shorter wait as the night went on, but by about 10:45, we just decided to ride it since it didn't look like it would get any better than 15 min.

Jingle Cruise wasn't worth the time. The only "jingle" I noticed was a wreath on the boat, and the new Christmas jokes. I wish we had spent that time doing something else.

I thought the hot chocolate and cookies were fine, nothing great, but ok. I never had any issues getting any and never needed to wait in a line for them.

We watched the parade sitting on the fence by Splash Mountain right were it starts. We were able to walk up after it had started and see it. Not a front view, but great for a last minute spot.

We watched the Pirate Christmas show, and it was my favorite. Very cute and much more intimate than the big stage shows.

From 6:30 to midnight, we were able to eat at Liberty Tavern, see 15 attractions, watch 2 shows (Pirates & Tomorrowland), watch the parade, watch the fireworks, do a little shopping, get hot chocolate and cookies, and briefly check out the dance party. We did miss the very beginnings of the parades and shows, but still accomplished a lot, so you can see how uncrowned it was.

Overall it was a lot of fun, and I'd do it again.

If they coupled this with handing out free bottled water, it might make a good park clearing strategy.

Where are you from that 50 degrees is freezing cold? I'd love to have some 50 degree weather right now.

It's was actually 17 degrees back home, but I grew up in Texas and am very cold natured.

However, despite that, it did feel pretty cold by midnight, a lot colder than I expected it to, especially when the wind blew. I was surprised by the number of people bundled up in sweaters, jackets, hats, and scarves. I even saw some with gloves and ear warmers. I'm used to being the only one in a jacket, but most people had something. I even saw a few people who had bought blankets and were walking around with the blankets wrapped around themselves.

Does the crowd really thin out after the fireworks? We are thinking of watching Wishes from the Bridge to tomorrowland but would like to move over to main street for the 2nd parade. Will seating be a little more open then?

We are going on Dec 20th, last day

I didn't notice the crowds in general thinning out at all after the fireworks. I kept thinking they would, but we actually had some of our longest waits after the fireworks. I'm not sure about Main St. We pretty much avoided it all night.

Thanks for this!! I am hoping to fit in about that much stuff and we are going to try to hit the park at 3:45! This is exactly about the amount of stuff we want to do, well, throw in meeting Jack Sparrow.

I was looking for some of the party merch and about the only thing I found was shirts. I would have liked to get the pin or two of them but I never saw any. I was at one last week. Did I just miss them or what?
