"Official" Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2017 - Believe in the Magic

[madzy]

Does it "snow" on Main Street only during the parade?

 

[monique5]

We were supposed to do Universal but we had to cancel. We've re-scheduled for Halloween week, which I'm super excited about. We extended our Universal APs. I will have to work remotely during the day, so we're doing a MNSSHP, we're getting a frequent fear pass (for the price of one MNSSHP) so that we can do Halloween Horror Nights at Universal for 4 nights during Halloween week. I'm trying to find us a reservation for the headless horseman meet at Disney but so far no luck. We are going to go to the Disney nature preserve and see Thor on opening night at Disney Springs.

We are also doing two days at Universal during our December trip so we can see the new Harry Potter Christmas stuff!!!! I hope you're popping over to Universal for some of their Christmas stuff.



You will want to line up early, his waits can be hours long. Check back here after the first party so you can be sure when Jack will start to meet. Last year he didn't start early but other years he has.

I have been thinking about hopping over for some HP Christmas stuff, but tickets are so high for 3 -- I have checked & tried to justify the cost, b/c I would want 2 parks deal to ride Hogwarts Express. I loved HHN when we went a few years ago.

I read the first post, but didn't see what treats are usually complimentary at the party these days. I haven't attended this party for several years, but at my last party, the offerings were cookies/hot chocolate/apple juice/apple slices. Was this still the case last year?

Yes, except the cookies were different at each station. So instead of just offering a sugar type cookie, they still had the sugar cookies but a different station would have chocolate chip, one had some sort of peppermint cookie and so on.

Thank you! That's a welcomed improvement!

The past parties that we have gone too we were mailed separate tickets (cards). We are going to the first party this year and no tickets have been sent to us. I do see my tickets are listed on My Disney Experience? Do they have it where it is connected to our magic band now?

I believe it usually snows during both of the parades.

I also believe, though don't quote me on this one, that it snows at the end of the party.

I’m debating if I should go this year I went last year...I’ll be in town 3 days before my cruise and was thinking a whole day at Epcot a whole day at Magic Kindom and a split at Hollywood and animal kingdom.

If you had an annual pass would you think it’s worh it to pay extra for this?

I’m asking as someone who made this thread previously and was super excited in years past!

If they had a stage show on the level of the Sanderson sisters it wouldn’t be a question. However, jingle bell jingle bam gives you snow on the streets of Hollywood too for free.

Decisions decisions...

Just a guess as many of us are on this thread because we have or are going to buy tickets that most people will say yes it is but only you truly know they value you would get out of it.

Did you have a good time last year at the party?

Is there a different event you might like to do that would cost about the same as this? Dessert parties, a special backstage tour, the monorail dining event?

Imagine yourself at Disney on what would have been your party night. Are you sad that you aren't at the MK at the party?

Yes, during the parade and during the last hour it'll snow every now and then. It could happen earlier as well, but we never venture over there before the second parade.

Huge improvement over 2014's parties. I don't like sugar cookies and were stuck with only hot chocolate (still delicious) as my complimentary food.

As a fellow AP holder, yes, a million times yes. JBJB doesn't compare to MVMCP, even if they improve it. And the toy soldiers.....AHHH! Best. Thing. Ever. (after the Boo to You grave diggers!)

They also had various drinks last year, too. Hot cider and snow cones in addition to cocoa.

JINGLE CRUISE
(In Case You Missed This On The Rumor Thread)

A few days ago the Jingle Cruise was rumored to not be continuing at Disneyland this year and it was still undecided if it was going to make an appearance at Magic Kingdom in Disney World. It's confirmed that the festive attraction will return to Disney World starting November 2017! You will be able to enjoy this Christmastime overlay of the Jungle Cruise through January 2018.

Each year the Jungle Cruise at Disney’s Magic kingdom is magically transformed into the Jingle Cruise as the boat ride’s skippers set out on a holly jolly journey across the rivers of Asia, Africa and South America. And just like last year, the Jungle Cruise Skippers are homesick for the holidays so they have decided to add some holiday cheer to the job site! Guests taking the cruise will come across a queue and boathouse decked out with homemade decorations, gifts and items from back home. Each Jungle Cruise boat has also been temporarily renamed with a holiday moniker and the always funny Skippers are ready to entertain with their seasonal jokes.
