Question re. MVMCP

[minniemouseuk]

Hi,

The day of a MVMCP, does the Magic Kingdom close early to prepare for it?

I have heard that the park closes around 4pm, and the re-opens at 7.00pm to anyone with a ticket.

Can anyone confirm if this is true?

it closes at 6 then reopens at 7.

Thanks.

It hardly seems worth my family and I catching the bus back to the All Star Music then.

Can you wait outside?

You wont need to. The park usually gives out wristbands starting an hour or two before the event so you can stay inside the park during the setup!! Another option is to plan a nice dinner either at one of the monorail resorts ( I have done Ohana's in the Polynesian and really like that) or at one of the restaurants in the park ( Check the Liberty Tree Tavern, they are usually open) and proceed back to the park after dinner!!! Whichever restaurant you decide call 1-407 wdw-dine and make a priority seating ( similar to a reservation) Also what day are you planning to go? I Am asking because a bunch of people from this board, myself included will be doing the December 4th MVMCP. Belle

I believe its like MNSSHP, they close the park to all who dont have a bracelet.
They moved us all with bracelets to Tomorrowland and we had to stay there while they redid the park...so you can stay in the park if I am not mistaken for this party too!

Enjoy!

That information is extremely helpful.

We're going December 14th & 18th.

Heh, that's a month today, ha ha.

Now I am excited

I have tickets for MVMCP on Nov 30th. I spoke with guest relations and they told me to get my wrist band at about 4:00pm and I would be able to stay in the park (Tomorrowland only) between 6:00pm and 7:00pm. They also told me the rides in Tomorrowland would be operating!

We make priority seating at the castle's restruant around 4:00 and get an early dinner in (so we have room for all the Christmas sweets!) and go straight from dinner into the park!

We saw a lot of folks WITHOUT tickets one year do the same thing, and end up staying in the park as well (as you can imagine, those of us who bought tickets were LIVID).

I like eating the dinner before, it gets you in the mood and Bam! You're already in the park come party time, having gotten off your feet for a while.
