Looks like best price for 19th December is £56 - anyone found anything cheaper?

thanks all
We bought our tickets direct from Disney whilst in the UK and took the paper copies with us but had no need of them, they were already on our magic bands.
You can’t book FP for the party but your party ticket lets you into the park at about 4pm, so you can fit in some FPs before the party begins at 7pm.

Oh my goodness. Thanks to you crazy dibbers I've just phoned Disney and booked for the MVMCP on 21st December! Was pretty pricey but tickets weren't available to book anywhere else. It's a one off that we won't do again so we're excited.
Just a couple of questions:
Thinking of just going in at 4pm. Or parking up at 2pm and going on the monorail via GF to check out the gingerbread house. Will car parking be horrendous?
Do you need separate park entry?
Can you book fast passes between 4-7?

I don’t think you can FP 7 dwarves. I’ve seen photos of them from a Facebook groups I’m part of. They wore Christmas scarves and hats but nothing too special.

Did a few characters. Got the genie from aladdin. Waited 45 minutes for that.

Wife who loves Christmas said she wouldn't bother again. For 50 odd quid it's OK. But not the price we paid which I think was nearly 70 each.

We got a cheaper hire car than normal to pay for it. Maybe I'm just bitter as not driving a tahoe. But I would take that over the Xmas party.

We managed to get snow cone, santa cookie, pretzel.

Pretzels and snow cone are near pirates of Caribbean. This had the shortest q for food.
I've decided not to bother now and spend the £120 on goodies instead!

I don’t know when this happens but we joined the queue at about 6:40 and I would guess there were about 45-60 minutes worth of people behind us when we got our photos at 8:42.

thank you, that's a much better pic than we've ever had but decided we're not going to but tickets now as we're not prepared to wait 2 hours nor risk not being able to join the line and they would be our 'must have' of the party.

Not sure what parking will be like that close to Christmas. You would only be allowed to park 3 hours at the GF, and if they are busy not even that without a dining reservation. Separate park entry isn’t required.

We really enjoyed the quieter park on our MVMCP night, even the day was noticeably quieter, only long long queues were for characters. We managed to get on plenty of rides and had a great view of the parade in liberty square and later on Main Street with the 'snow' falling. A lovely lady made sure my youngest had a perfect spot at the front when she saw him. We stood practically in front of the Walt Disney and Micky statue for the fireworks. We didn't bother with cookie stops as we wanted to visit Sleepy Hollow for waffles on our last night 😊 Is it worth it? For us yes as it was our last night and the park really was quieter
