News Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2023

[SaucyBoy]

I don't understand the weather policies period. It's wasn't a party but on a regular night a few weeks ago they went into the "high wind" protocol that shuts down much of Fantasyland more than an hour before show. Wind was like 5 mph, I didn't notice any gusts, and I checked weather and forecasts did not even show wind issues.

Remember, the wind that we can feel on the ground is only a minor sample of what's happening just a few feet above our heads. What might feel like 5-10 mph on the ground could actually be 30-50 mph higher in the air.

Rain let up before parade. Skiers didn't ski.

How many Princesses can you cram into a gazebo?

Did you guess 9?

The 6pm Tron VQ drop lasted for ~1 hour 13 mins for tonight's last night's party.

For comparison to the previous 6pm drops during the recent parties on Tuesday (12/5), Thursday (12/7), and Friday (12/8):

Most princesses per square foot I've ever seen in a parade!

Enjoyed the party Thursday, but was shocked that they were sold out of the party exclusive spirit jerseys. With multiple parties still to go, I expected them to have more supply. There’s over 100,000 people still coming to the party and they’re completely out. Seems like extremely poor purchasing to be that far off in their estimates. So my wife left disappointed in that, but we did enjoy the night as a whole.

I'd expect tonight's party to be cancelled like the DHS one is, due to weather.

No party tonight. It’s tomorrow night.

Thanks. Since it's a pretty much every night thing, I assumed there was one tonight, too.

Even with the additional holiday event at Studios this year occurring up to twice a week, MVMCP and Jollywood never occur on the same nights

How is it the last night for MVMCP already?! Looks like it was a great season! Let's hope for a great rest of the year!......

My first time at the Christmas party and really enjoyed it. I liked it much more than Halloween. Can’t wait to go back next year.

I like it more than the Halloween party, too. Glad you had a great time.

Time to release tickets for Mickey’s Hippity Hoppity Easter Party ahead of its January start.

I’m actually surprised at the shorter window that the Christmas parties have compared to Halloween. Then Halloween parties run slightly past Halloween, where the Christmas parties actually stop a few days before Christmas and they have the parade, fireworks and stage show during regular hours.

Tourism travel has historically dropped off a cliff after New Years. People generally need to get back to life after Christmas.

I think if they are going to have massive crowds Christmas week, they don't need to double sell park admission. And if you didn't buy G+ to get on rides, you can at least see the holiday parade and fireworks.

The last party was Dec 22nd.

Responding to the two posts above me as to why the parties stop before Christmas.

I had a great time and I think it was ultimately worth the cash for my family of 5. We went on the 19th.

And now AccuWeather both says the rain will stop at 8 and that is 80% chance of thunderstorms at 8 and 9

I have my own name for "AccuWeather": "Inaccuweather."
