"Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

[Gavalily]

I wonder why they changed the guide...?

I don’t know! This is my first party so I signed up to the Facebook group just to learn about it! Lol

I'm looking forward to catching some live feeds from tonight or some YouTube videos tomorrow. Our party is Nov. 26th.

A question I would like to know: last year the Jack skellington line opened at 430 to party guests. If that is the case again, he will be our first stop once in the park.

I just read one of the blogs that said the line was 55 minutes at 5pm and got over 120 minutes at one point. I hope you get to do this!

These are actually much better times than what we were hearing for the waits at the halloween party.

I have a theory (though I have no basis for this), that they always undersell the first event to get good press from influencers/vloggers. The second, third, fourth parties always seem to be me worse.

I've never seen the stage show, but watched tonight on a Livestream. Very impressed! The singers were very talented, the show was fun with a great variety of music.

Does anyone know about the free/ included snacks? Is it cookies and cocoa again or is there any variety?

It was previously announced it would be cookies and cocoa.

You know I think this was true in 2021 at least. We went the first night which was Nov. 8th that year. The lines were really short, and some also speculated that influencers, etc were just busy making content and not riding rides.

We had an incredible time, but I think it will be more crowded when we go this year the first week of Dec.
The 2021 party was a slightly different event (Very Merriest After Hours 9pm-1am) and I loved the free popcorn, bottled drinks and Mickey Bars we got that year!

We are going to one of the very last parties. Trying not to get too attached to it.

With the ornament being included with the party ticket, you will get it - just remember to pick it up.

it's been very unpredictable what will and will not still be available further into party season.

We usually visit after Christmas and have had bad luck with the prizes for Olaf’s Holiday Scavenger Hunt.

It appears to be about the same as last year… different cookies with either cocoa, apple cider or eggnog (all depending on the location). I believe they offer a red velvet cookie this year which I think is new.

The Snickerdoodle and Red Velvet Cookie look amazing!

Wish they would do hot apple cider instead of cold...

Is there a place set aside to watch the parade if you are in ECV?

I think there is a place to watch the fireworks, is that true?

The ECV area for parades is normally across from the Hall of Presidents. We haven't been with an ECV recently but was always our experience in the past.

We were at a MNSSHP this year and it wasn‘t indicated on the map. We didn’t check, but we will for the Christmas party. Thank you.

FOMO just kicked in. There is a party scheduled on our last night, my husband always comes to the parks late, and I had enough Disney Visa Rewards dollars to buy tickets. We're already attending Jollywood Night; MVMCP will be a nice bookend to our vacation.

Does anyone know how strict they are about your Tron return time during the party? I'm worried about getting a return time during the fireworks and I really want to see them. Parade should be OK since there are 2 times for that.

They have changed some character meet and greets. Looks like no more Sally, just Jack; Mirabel instead of Merida; Tiana and Naveen have moved to Liberty Square.View attachment 809252

Reports from last night with photos have Sally.
