Planning on going this year, have some newbie questions:

When do the tickets usually go on sale?
Can you use Fastpass even if you don't use a park ticket that day?
Do you link the tickets to myDisneyExperience (and therefore the magic bands) like you do with the regular tickets?

Tickets are usually on sale by now, so expect it to happen soon.

Previously you could use FP+ in the time after 4 PM admission but prior to party start. They cut off at 6 or 6:30 as I recall.

You can link them to your magic bands. But I'd probably enter with a ticket rather than trust the Disney IT systems to get it right and not hit my regular ticket by mistake (obviously not an issue for AP holders).

Thanks for the response! So you can't advance FP anything, but once you get in the park, you can see what's available?

Previously you have been able to advance FP in the 4-7 window (but I think they changed the cutoff to 6 or 6:30).

You won't really need FP+ during the parties. Most of the attractions are close to a walk on, especially around parade time.

FP is not even operational during the party.

...and an update.

We CALLED WDW today, 24 hours after ticket purchase. As could be expected - there is yet another computer issue. When you try to link your tickets, you will get an error message claiming they are already linked - yet, they will not display.

WDW is aware of this latest IT failure. Promised fix is sometime within 48 hours. Meanwhile, it's a great time to not burden the phone agents with yet another IT failure.

I have my confirmation number from the purchase AND an email confirmation, both with correct dates. How long do you think I should wait, before I call?
I'm not terribly worried...yeto_O

Key thing to do: PRINT your E Tickets. They will arrive as a PDF in your confirmation letter :). CARRY the paper E Tickets when you go to the event: MDE is prone to failure at all times.... PAPER, with a scan-able Bar Code, is best :).

Hi
I purchase tickets for the Mickey's Verry Merry Christmas and I got the confirmation by email but I can't print the file, is telling me is a error with the file, and in my email says the tickets are attached as a PDF but isn't. The cast members responds than I have to go to a guest relations or something like that. What I do?

Something like this happened with somebody?

I would suggest you CALL, and ask for a resend of you confirmation letter for the tickets. Once in a while, EMAIL gets corrupted in transit. DO have your "Order Confirmation Number" - delivered right on the Web Page as you purchase Special Event Tickets.

I have a question: I just read that the Very Merry Christmas "stuff" will run until December 22. We check in on December 23. Are we going to miss out on ALL the Christmas things?!! What will they still be running from Dec 23 to Jan 02?

I just have a general question about this event. Is it worth going to WDW just for this event? My family loves Christmas and I was thinking about flying down there with my wife and my 10 yr old son, to spend a long weekend. We would have 3 1/2 days in the parks. Money is the biggest factor in determining whether or not we should go but my sons only 10 once...
Any thoughts?

While the MVMCP parties end before your arrival, you'll have the benefit of seeing the exclusive Christmas parade and Holiday Wishes Fireworks show for free, as both of those replace the usual 3 pm parade and nightly fireworks show. Main Street will still have its festive decorations, Cinderella Castle will have icicle lights (with a ceremony to "turn on" the lights) and there will be Holiday-themed treats to eat. No worries....though the size of the crowds may be a bit scary. ;)

I'm thinking of stopping at WDW to attend the Christmas party on my way home for the holidays. I would be staying on-site for the one night and would only be buying a ticket to the party, not any other passes.

My questions is, would I be able to make 60-day advance Fastpass+ reservations for the 4:00-6:30 window before the party begins? I know the system only allows you to make FP reservations if you have some kind of ticket on your account and I'm not sure if a party ticket counts.

I'm reading that it's a "no" starting this year, but I would dearly love to be wrong! Anyone else have more insight, now that we are closer to the party dates?
