Trip Planning > Ask Pam > Boardwalk Villas, Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party

Ask Pam -- 8/19/03

Penny From NY Writes:

I am in the midst of planning next Summer's trip to the World, and would absolutely love to stay in 1 bedroom BCV. The 2-bedroom is a bit out of my budget. The thing is we have 3 children, does that "disqualify" us for a one bedroom? Do we have to leave 1 kid home (joking)?

Pam Responds:

The 1 bedroom villas at all the Disney Vacation Club resorts all accommodate 4 plus one child under 3 that sleeps in a crib. So, unless one of your children is under 3, you will have to leave one at home. LOL.

Here is some information on the Disney vacation Club resorts: http://www.TheMouseForLess.com/askpam/072303.shtml

Here are some alternative accommodations where you don't have to leave a child at home. You may want to consider the Ft. Wilderness Cabins, they can accommodate 6, and they also have a full kitchen. While not as luxurious as the Vacation Club resorts, they are themed so well, and Ft. Wilderness is a great resort that offers many activities for kids.

You could also choose 2 rooms at any of the hotels. If adults are in one room, and children are in a second room, Disney will guarantee connecting rooms for the party.

Dania Dewese Writes:

I have a 2 fold question. I will be attending MVMCP on December 14th. This will be my first time attending the party. My questions are Should I make time to do some rides as well as all the shows or should I just mainly focus on the shows and do rides when possible? Also is there usually two showings of the parade and if so which is the better choice to watch?

I'm looking very much forward to going this December as the last time I went it was after Christmas so the party was over with. I will be in the MK the next day so rides are not an absolute must but I would love some ideas on how I might can work in rides and shows both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Pam Responds:

We love MVMCP, so Iím sure you will have a great time. If your family really enjoys the shows at Disney World, you may want to focus on the shows because some of them are a lot of fun. Itís also a great time to do some rides too. We tend to do a bit of both.

I think the parade is a "must see" and there are usually two showings during the party. The second showing is always less crowded, but is usually pretty late. It takes the normal parade route, so you can see it from spots on Main Street, Liberty Square and Frontierland.

Also we feel the 360 degree fireworks are a "must see" too. They are spectacular! Good viewing spots are located all around the park just make sure you have a good view of the sky.

Also lots of people like the Mickey's 'Twas the night before Christmas' show that takes place in the Galaxy Palace Theater in Tomorrowland.

Here is a schedule of shows from last years MVMCP. This may change for the parties this year, but at least it gives you an idea.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parade 8:15 and 10:40 pm
Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks: 9:15 pm
Mickey's Twas the Night before Christmas 7:15, 8:15, 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 pm
Celebrate the Season: 7:00, 9:30 pm and 12:00 am
Wild West Christmas Show 7:30, 8:45, 10:00, and 11:30 pm
Belle's Enchanted Christmas 7:30, 8:40, 9:30, 10:20, and 11:10 pm
Santa's Snowflake Special Storyteller: 7:25, 8:05, 8:55, 10:15, and 11:30 pm
Lake Howell Holiday Brass 6:45, 7:45, and 9pm

Just being in the park at night is magical, and we love the snow on Main Street. It also gives people a chance to see the Christmas Parade. It's truly magical.
