On Sunday Dec 18th we have tickets to the MVMCP. We have never been to one of these special events before. We will have a five year old and a 6 month old with us. In an effort to keep the kids from being too exhausted to stay at the park late and enjoy the full benefit of the party, I have planned to not go into any other parks that day.
My original plan was to get a somewhat late breakfast (reservations for Boma at 9) and then relax the rest of the day till we enter the park at 4 PM. We then have Fastpasses for Tinkerbell at 4:10 and then Cinderella and Elena at 5:10. I figured we would end up getting counter service somewhere after that.
However, I was finally able to snag a reservation for BOG.....but it is for an early dinner on that night at 4:10. This would mean I would have to cancel/miss my fastpass for Tinkerbell. We have eaten lunch at BOG in the past, but never for dinner when, as I understand, the Beast is there. I'm thinking missing Tinkerbell might not be that big of a deal since it is the Christmas party and I am thinking we are going to see lots of characters throughout the night....and the fact that Beast is at the dinner makes it kind of a swap out. We would have till 6:10 to make our Cinderella/Elena Fastpass....so don't think that would be an issue.
What are your thoughts? Better to enjoy the party and the fastpass or take advantage of the rare open reservation at BOG?
