We've made sure to purchase our MVMCP tickets four months in advance online at disney.com. After all we've heard, we certainly didn't want to arrive at the gate with them being sold out. My advice. Buy the tickets in advance to assure you and your family a party of a lifetime. This event is well worth the expense.
*Tidbit Info* If you have Park Hopper Passes, don't use them on the day you go to MVMCP. Save them. You will have more than enough time to ride the rides, enjoy the firework shows, parades, eat, and whatever else your heart desires.
If you are already inside the park and have tickets for the MVMCP event, you will be ushered into a certain area of the park. You can do anything at this section while the park "officially" closes.
If you are one of the ones arriving at the gate entrance (like we were), you will present your specially purchased MVMCP tickets. From there, they will supply you a wristband, button and a brochure. Keep the brochure handy. It is very informative.
One of the nicest things about MVMCP are the little special touches they provide. You are entitled to one free family portrait, hot cocoa and cookies, which are free throughout the whole night. It is YUMMY!!
Once you step inside the park, you are immediately entranced. The decorated park is so beautifully bright and festive. Christmas music is being played in the foreground, the castle is at its finest moments. The castle produces snowflakes and changes into so many colors you would have ever thought imaginable. It's lively and it's magical.
Lets not forget the show that Mickey & His Friends put on for their guests. While they are doing their dancing and singing, there are so many other things you can do. You can eat, ride the rides, walk around, or just simply sit somewhere and soak in all of the sites. You won't get bored. Remember... Only a certain amount of tickets are sold for each show. This prevents the park from being overly crowded..
You'll also be captivated by the parades, Main Street's snow and the firework show. If you miss one parade, don't fret. There will be another one later on. The one thing my family and I liked was seeing the snow fall on Main Street. Here you walk down on Main Street and you are surrounded by (fake) snow. It's great to experience snow without the freezing temperatures!!
MVMCP's Firework Show is outstanding. No matter where you are, you will hear and catch a glimpse of the fireworks. There are better places than others, but still, it's viewable and it's awesome! Grab your camera and get ready to take some pictures of the most colorful and extraordinary fireworks ever. What a perfect way to end our night at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
