I couldn't find anything on the MHP website saying MaxPass was included, but on the ticket email it does say "Enjoy the Disney MaxPass Feature - Because you added this feature to your ticket, you can use the
Disneyland app to select from available FASTPASS experiences once you enter the park, and redeem your selections from your phone." So that would seem to indicate that Maxpass is included with this year's MHP ticket. However, they have not (historically) offered FPs during the party, so MHP guests could only use this benefit during the three hour overlap period (and by then, many of the most popular FPs had already runout).
According to the information on the
website, Photopass is only good during the event itself, but it is included with the MHP ticket.
Only Disney PhotoPass photos captured during the event can be downloaded from your Disney account as many times as you want, for 45 days after capture.
the 'Calaveras' of which I am speaking was not too far from HM and was sort of like a 'Day of the Dead' thing. I wanted to see it but it was just too crowded.
Ah, got it! I was thinking of 'Calaveras' as in the county/place in the Sierras, so it had me puzzled. Yes, as
theluckyrabbit said, the Día de los Muertos display in Frontierland will be returning this year and while they haven't officially said anything about the Coco displays in DCA, hopefully those will return this year as well!
