Just catching up on this thread. We have our Tix for Nov. 25, and our FPs for 7DMT at 4 and PPF at 5. First time party for is and a first time trip for my parents. My family of 5 (including kids) plus my parents = 7 total. We don't really have a huge need for the rides or many of the characters. We're keeping the entire trip a secret from our kids until we leave for the airport. But we've tried to gauge their interest in some of the special characters and have gotten "meh" responses. So, we figure that if we do eventually head for characters it would be later in the evening after what we want to do...which is mainly the main Street atmosphere, the shows, fireworks, parades. We will venture over to Adventureland to ride the Jingle Cruise, since my folks will miss that when we ride it later in our trip, and catch the Reindeer Wranglers, and we will venture over to Tomorrowland for the show over there, but it there than that, I think it's just milling around Main Street and the hub for the castle stage. The party begins at 7 with a Frozen Holiday Wish and Mickey's Most Merriest Christmas celebration at the castle stage, right? Then we can move away from the hub? My folks are in scooters. Thoughts?
*edit to add* My mom just popped in a phone call to say that my dad "might want to meet Grumpy at some point during the trip." Sooo, since we weren't planning on standing in line to meet the Dwarfs, I could use some advice on this. I know it's somewhere, but I can't find it. What time do they usually begin meeting and do they go all night long? We will be arrive at 4, and finishing our Peter Pan fp shortly after 5 (the 5-6pm fp window). Thoughts? advice? Thanks!!
