How to plan a trip with MNSSHP

Bellasmummy · 5 Sep 18, 06:23 AM

A bit early for next year I know but as there will be lots of people going to MNSSHP at the moment I thought it a good time to ask.

With Disney moving the dates earlier year on year I’m hopeful that there maybe a party on whilst we’re there next year. We’re at beach club 14-24 August.

As the dates for MNSSHP won’t be released until a while after we’re due to start booking adrs and planning park days, I’m wondering how everyone plans for the party.

Are they always on certain days? Would you keep days free? Or do you plan as normal and then rearrange your plans once the dates are released?

If you're interested in meeting 7 dwarfs, Moana or Jack and Sally then pick one you care about most then get in line before party starts so it doesn't eat into your party time.

I'd also watch second parade as it's less crowded, my personal favourite spot is in courtyard after bridge from frontierland.

Make sure you don't miss fireworks as they're amazing. In my opinion you don't need a clear view of castle as projections aren't as important as say Happily every after just get a central location.

I'd watch last stage show of Sanderson sisters at 12 as its end of party and a nice end.

Based on timings of shows/parade/fireworks that means you have a couple of hours before picking a spot for fireworks to do trick or treating and meeting lesser busy characters.

We'll be there at the same time the nights are on (hopefully) - can anyone tell me what the night actually is? My wee one will be 3 so will he be too young?

Thanks x

Parties in August the last couple of years have fell on the last few Fridays and then the last Tuesday and this years early ones have been busy so i guess the dates will be similar or maybe more will be added.

We went to the 1st Party this year.It was Friday 17th. It was busy & HOT! If you can avoid going on the 1st night (we couldn't as we flew home before the next party) that would be my tip.
We queued for about 1hr 30 to meet Elvis Stitch but didn't queue for any others as the line imo were too long.
Also candy melts in August heat lol so we had to fridge ours to harden it back up .didn't stop me eating it ;-).

We took our 16mo and 3.5yo this year, they LOVED IT! Loved the trick or treating for candy, loved the five minute queues for almost all rides, loved the dance parties actually dancing with and interacting with characters for ages- so fun! Loved the fireworks. Weren’t bothered with stage show or parade which unfortunately we would have loved to have seen but it’s gotta be all about the kids! Lol. I would definitely say do it.
