Mvmcp

[AndTiggercameto]

We are going to Florida in December (8-22) and would love to go to MVMCP but been in the UK we can't purchase tickets before we go....do you think we will manage to get some at such a late date when we arrive?..thankyou :xmas:

We CAN get tickets .. we've bought them for MNSSHP before. We just rang WDW on 0014078242222 and asked for the booking number for special events . We book everything before we go!!! Good luck.:wave:

You can get them, but I would think you could walkup and buy them on the night of the event earlier in December. I've done it in the past. :wave:

 

[AndTiggercameto]

Thanks guys...think I will give them a call & see if I can get some booked, rather than take the risk.....:xmas:

Good to get it squared away instead of having concern. Only the last few nights usually sell out. As I tend to go the first or second week in Dec., I just wait on my purchase to be sure (or as sure as you can be in FL) of the weather.

My biggest fear is telling 3 kids we are going to MVMCP & then not been able to go because we can't get tickets...I would rather be 100% sure before we leave the UK that we can go & will have to just grin & bare the weather whatever may come!!....hats & gloves at the ready!! :sohappy:

It has to be warmer than DLP in December :ROFLOL:.

Understood. Good to have it done with, and you don't have to think about it.

Just for information sake, there is some more on this topic over here:

I had to laugh at your hats and gloves remark, although I have been down in Dec. where they would be useful in the evenings.

 

[AndTiggercameto]

Thanks for the link.....compared to the UK in December it will probably feel quite warm actually. We were at WDW 4 yrs ago at Thanksgiving & the weather was great but I am aware that Florida weather can be quite changeable. I am going to call up this week & find out about the tickets...would they post them out to the UK? :xmas:

 

[ClemsonTigger]

I don't know about UK, but they also have an e-ticket option...or at least they have been trying it on a limited basis.

 

[AndTiggercameto]

Ahhhh...that would be cool....guaranteed to receive them then, our postal system can be quite shambolic, my mother in law received a letter last week that was posted 2 yrs ago, it was from a government dept aswell....so I dont think i trust my MVMCP tickets to arrive that way. Also means I have something to show the kids...proof!! :ROFLOL:

For sure - but even Florida gets chilly during the December evenings :animwink:

 

[AndTiggercameto]

Hats & gloves at the ready then!! :xmas:

Absolutely. Last December we experienced days "like a typical British summer" with temps around the low 80's :sohappy: but as evening came there was a sharp temp drop and we changed from shorts and Tshirts to long (lightweight) pants and carried a jumper/sweatshirt. It was necessary to wear the jumper on occasions.
On NYE we sat at the front of the railings by EPCOTs lagoon for hours - it was cold !!

It must have warmed up then cause late Nov early Dec was hats jackets and gloves. Hell I even had to put on trousers.

As for tickets, they give you the option of having them sent or collect at the ticket windows. I did that last year, no problems just make sure you have ref number and photo ID.

 

[AndTiggercameto]

I assumed that because we are in the UK that we would be unable to get MVMCP tickets before we left home, but hopefully I will be able to pre order them. I will pack to cover all weather conditions as the reports seem so varied!! :xmas:

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

I have two nights sorted . And last year I had to buy another jacket as it was so cold, you cant wear it if you dont have it.

 

[AndTiggercameto]

Better to be safe than sorry & have an extra layer around the waist or in a locker....wouldn't like to have to buy 5 jackets in the parks if we didn't!!...DH would never let me live it down I am sure! Does it tend to be wet & cold or just cold? :xmas:

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

We had one thunderstorm and it was a real good one. Other than that I dont recall any rain at all in the whole holiday. A bit of a change from August.

 

[AndTiggercameto]

Don't mention the thunderstorm word....I am a storm phobic!!!...Last time we were there & were dining in Kissimmee & the biggest storm came over....I wouldn't leave the restaurant until it passed!! :shrug: Fingers crossed we don't one this year....I can cope with wet & warm as long as it doesn't thunder!...still prefer the sunshine to show his face though :lol:
