MVMCP Tickets....dining during party?

[JohnD]

Yes they do they released BOG and CRT times during the parties for this year and last year, and I know several people that booked them already for MNSSHP. So MVMCP reservations should be realeased soon if not already for during the MVMCP. But don't recommend eating during because you miss a lot of the party.

Yeah. I have ADRs for both BOG and SC for MNSSHP. I was planning to cancel at least one. Maybe should cancel both? I have a big lunch ADR planned for Boathouse in DS.

Especially with a big lunch like that at the Boathouse I would cancel so as to not miss any of the party too. You could always do quick service for your dinner once hungry or eat the exclusive delicious snacks offered at the parties. Also a suggestion make your lunch later (I don't know what time it is at). We often do a late lunch around 2-3 or a little later before the parties.

Yeah. Was thinking about that. Currently have it for noon. Wanted to explore DS and give myself time to get back to the room and change. Late lunch would be all day at DS then bus direct to MK. Wouldn't be wearing a crazy costume. Probably just a HM March Magic T-shirt and shorts.

Hello, I have a reservation for CRT in October at 5.30pm. If we leave after 7pm do we still have to buy a MNSSHP ticket even if we don't want to see it? As I know you do if your reservation starts after 7pm.

No, you won't need a ticket, you can have dinner and then leave at 7pm, you may be kindly escorted out by a CM.

Just to give an example of someone who dined at BOG during MNSSHP at 7:30 PM : Although I don't regret the decision to eat at BOG at all (service was great, extremely quick, did not feel rushed, food was great, atmosphere was wonderful) I did feel rather rushed to get everything done during the remaining hours of the party. I also didn't enter the park at 4 so I had even even less time to enjoy MK that evening. If you decide to dine during the party, try to make it at as early as possible between 4 and 6. If you are only able to get a later reservation, enter the part at 4 and get through as many rides as you can so you can do party activities once 7 PM rolls around.

I'm going to MVMCP and I have a lunch reservation at Ohana for 2 PM and will head to MK immediately after to fill up on hot chocolate and cookies

Split the difference and moved Boathouse to 1pm. Assuming 1 hour lunch, that gives me 2 hours before 4:00 pm entry of party should I decide to head back to the room first. Or I may want to explore more of DS and arrive at the party after 4:00 but before 7:00. FP+ would be nice but not critical.

We have CRT ADRs for a MVMCP for mid December as well as had BOG for during the party.
ADRs have been out for awhile for all the TS restaurants with the amity to book at 180 days.
If you have party tickets you may go to your ADR all throughout the night. Without tickets you will not be allowed to be seated after 6:15 pm. And they are enforcing it...

Same story as many here - not long after our 180 days out dinner reservation times were released during MVMCP. It is listed as 'special ticketed event' on the hours:



When our dates were released at 180 days out there were no ADRs for BOG for the week except the very last day - and it was an odd hour. Everyone whose dates were unlocked before ours sucked up all the ADRs lol. At 180 days out no dinner hours were showing in the MK during MVMCP. Anticipating additional dinner hours would eventually be released/announced during MVMCP hours (thanks to a tip from a CM when we called for dinner show reservations) I watched the Disney website every morning and evening. My obsession/diligence paid off as I caught the additional hours for MVMCP ADRs on the day they were released! Scored a 6:30pm ADR at BOG! We have never been able to get ADR for BOG on previous trips so this made the entire family happy happy happy!

No ADRs during parties.

Nope... You're wrong on that one. We had BOG reservations during a Halloween party last year for dinner. I just pulled up the old email confirmation and it was for 7:35 and the party officially started at 7:00. They may close some restaurants when they have parties but some are open.

You won't be able to take the bus directly to MK from DS. Your best bet would probably be bus to Contemporary and walk, or take your chances with a transfer from any other resort by hopping on the first resort bus.

We had a reservation that ended past 7 (CRT) and when walking out down Main Street, I popped into shop to buy an expensive Dooney purse I had put aside. The clerk was pretty nasty, stating she should not even sell to me without a wristband. I said I promise to walk right out of here and not even watch the parade which was starting but do you really not want my $150+ sale? I was able to buy the purse but I was made very uncomfortable and I practically dragged my husband down Main St where the parade was going on, telling him not even to look!

We had ADR's for one of the MNSSHP at LTT last year and I can unequivocally say never again. Eat before the parties.

Why is that? What happened? Just curious as we have an ADR that spans the transition to the MVMCP...

 

[networkpro]

Its crazy at LTT. You've got the day guests trying to drag out their meals as long as possible so they wont be escorted out due to lack of party bands, the staff is ready to close out the day and at least in our experience the food was like it was the bottom of the pot.

Okay, bus to GF. One stop on monorail to MK. Done.

Oh yeah, it's not hard to overcome. You just may want/need to factor in the extra transit time, that's all.
