We're going for the first time this year. We've always been in WDW when it's been on but never attended. We're so excited!
We're not really sure what prevented some from making FP+ with their Party ticket. However, those of us that made the other days first, and then made the party day FPs last had no problems.I apologize in advance for getting behind in reading the thread the last few weeks. We will have 4 day tickets and be attending MNSSHP one night during our trip. I am still undecided if we will use a park day to enter before 4 on the MNSSHP day. Do I need to make all my other FP+ days first? Is it irrelevant if we plan on using a park day to enter before 4? TIA!
If you have a 4 day ticket and will only be making FP for three days other than the party it doesn't matter what order you make the FP plans. However if you have a 4 day ticket and decide to go to the parks 4 days plus go to the party (and only use the party ticket) for a 5th day you need to make the non party FP first. This is based on other reports so far this year (it was not the case last year). Also if you make FP that start earlier than when you can enter with a party ticket now (planning to use a day ticket) but change your mind close to the party date you may have trouble changing to late day FP for MNSSHP days at the last minute.I apologize in advance for getting behind in reading the thread the last few weeks.

This is our situation as well. We have 2 character meets we want to try to squeeze in and we are just trying to wing it from there. We've also never been to the party. I love to plan so not having a plan is making me a little crazy lol. I imagine once the parties begin and I start reading about the specifics I may end up with a loose plan in place.We are going 9/19 (my birthday! ). We've never been, I actually had our dates set and realized the party was going on as well! I've read through (most of) this thread, and am so excited! Here's a question...is it crazy to just walk in and experience what we can without a plan? I am planning all our other park days, but having never been, I have no idea how to figure timing. I will probably have a short of list of must-do's, and it will probably drive me nuts to not have some kind of plan in place!

Awesome! I think party days are the best ones to not have a strict plan. Make sure to note the times of parade/fireworks/Hocus Pocus show, and check what character meets, if any, you are interested in doing. Then just go with the flow-if you see a short ride line, go for it! If you feel like getting a sugar fix, hit up a treat trail! Especially because you will be on a Tuesday in mid-september, there shouldn't be many crowds (I'll be there the week before you), so less planning and strategizing is necessary.We are going 9/19 (my birthday! ).

Nope. That's how we do it. Note granted we only need one or two magic shots photos and no meet and greets. I hear those require a little planning. We tend to wander the park, stopping for the parade wherever we are when it's time or our feet hurt. I do enjoy sit down dinners, which is scandalous and not recommended, but even with that and no plan we still get a lot done and have a really good time.

Yes it's possible line up for Jack and Sally around 4-4:30 they have been coming out early around 5:30. They got to Seven Dwarfs line after.Is it possible to see both Jack and Sally as well as the Dwarfs without spending all night in line? DD wants to meet the Dwarfs, but J&S are a family favorite.
Can someone point me in the direction of the mnsshp calendar/chart that predicted the projected attendance of each party? I'm trying to decide which party to attend during our week.
