We went to MVMC Party the night before last, on 12/1.
The hot chocolate was good...not the "brown warm water" we kind of anticipated.
The cookies were a sugar cookie and the first ones we got in the Circus area, were pretty much tasteless and disappointing; tried again in Frontierland and they were actually soft and tasty. Tried again later in the evening in Frontierland and they were the same as the earlier ones in the Circus area. Kind of disappointing considering how much we paid. The photo op for the night was a large round Christmas ball, also disappointing but it is what it is. Everything else was as expected and we will do it again.
Something we will consider in the future is to not use a Parks day on the same day as the MVMC but find other activities to do...like, visit the other resorts to checkout their decorations, hang at our resort, try a different resort's dining experience and then head over to MVMC around 4-ish.
We would strongly suggest having the events marked more clearly/obviously and have Cast Members know what is going on; just seemed disorganized and we had to spend too much time trying to figure out what was going on. We joined a line to meet and greet Snow White and Sleeping Beauty but no one was sure about who was going to be appearing. Also we would suggest a different set up for the 7 Dwarfs, similar to the Princesses or Mickey Mouse venues; using multiple characters so that Guests would have more access time and with autographs. When we went in the past, it seemed like there were more characters who were not the usual ones found in the Parks than there were this time around.
One more thought for now and will add to this once I hear more feedback from my family. Disney should bring back the complimentary family souvenir photo. Not only is it the best of souvenirs for the Guests but it would also promote the PhotoPass and Memory Maker.
Over and out for now.
