Happy 1st MVMCP 2018 Day!

 

[monique5]

@yulilin3 - Thanks for all of your party info this week!

 

[monique5]

It was widely reported that MNSSHP was MUCH more crowded this year than any other years. Disney vloggers, such as Pete from The Dis, reported that it was oversold, perhaps by as much as 50%, compared to previous years. Hence, the worry that because the first MVMCP event isn't 'sold out' as quickly as other years, Disney raised the ticket sales cap. We shall if this is correct tonight after crowd reports come in...

This!!!

 

[monique5]

Do we know for sure Jack will be out at 4:30 on Main Street?

No, just that he's at TST. Will update/remove ? from Post #1 once reports are in from tonight's party.

 

[monique5]

Does the castle only light up when Elsa lights it, or do those lights also happen during Mickeys Most Merriest Celebration and Holiday Wishes?

Once they light for the night, lights stay on.

 

[monique5]

What are character meets like after 11pm, particularly Jack/Sally and/or Moana? Are their lines typically shorter then or do they cut off the line at a certain time?

Thanks!!

Typically they are shorter, however, based on current line determines when line officially closed (i.e. 11pm, 11:15pm vs 11:30pm).

 

[dachsie]

Yes that's market street which is why it closes at 8pm

@monique5 listed it as bakery in post 1 - that's where I got confused

I went to the same MNSSHP 3 years in a row and saw no significant difference.
Then again I dont meet characters so the long wait times for that are not a factor for me.
I also dont determine how crowded it is based on how mNy people are in the park but rather how long wait times are for attractions. They have been consistantly short.

It was changed.

 

[TheDisneyNurse]

I can't wait for all the info tonight! I hope everyone going has a jolly time!

For what it's worth, I've seen no difference in the MNSSHP crowds over the past 3 years I've been going. We're character and show people, and we've actually gotten more and more done each year as I learn from past experiences. And I don't think the average person going to the park for MVMCP is thinking back to past crowd years and analyzing like we do. I think price would deter sales more than crowd perceptions, in my opinion.

For a special event like this, I would rather see a price increase than increase the number of tickets sold.

So, from what I gather from both the HUB and the map, Reindeer Wranglers WILL be part of the party, but not listed/marked on the map?

Thank you, @monique5

So, the Totally Tomorrowland show is a must for us, but we can't get there till the 10:45 show. Possibly stay there for the 11:10 Edge Effect, but maybe not. From what I gather, if we see Edge Effect, then head straight over to either Jack/Sally or Moana, we run the risk of either line already being shut down. If we ditch the Edge Effect and leave right after TTL, then at least one should still be open, and it would be a shorter than usual line, but still by the time that is done, we can try to head over to the other of Moana/Jack-Sally, but risk that one already being shut down for the night. Did I gather that correctly?

Sadly it seems like we've been getting both!

I would prioritize what is your #1 must do. You risk being disappointed if you try and schedule things to tightly especially at that time of night

How far does the snow go down on Main Street? Trying to figure out the best place for us to watch the parade for my son to see the "snow" and then get to the dessert party in Tomorrowland for the Fireworks asap.

 

[lvcourtneyy]

I just asked at the emporium if we would be able to get merchandise at 2 pm with our party ticket like MNSSHP and got 3 different answers in one conversation lol

Exactly. Basically, I am trying to get an idea of what the character lines situations would be like after the 10:45 TTL show. What the probabilities are of even getting Moana or Jack/Sally. If at that time of night, lines are shorter, are they still 30-45 minutes or longer or shorter (typically), and then if we had to absolutely make a choice between one other the other, we could do that. If we could hit both, that would be awesome, but unexpected. So trying to get a plan together, especially if TIME plays a factor in deciding one M&G over the other.
