Hello, first time on the DVC boards
. A friend of mine invited me last night, I had never done a DVC event and wasn't sure on what to expect.
Got a map around 5pm, saw the list of characters and instantly knew that Meg Pain and Panic would be the most popular ones of the night.
We entered and used the backstage pathway where we met Daisy and Donald togetheer with their party outfits, Pluto was also meeting there.
Got in line for Meg, Pain and Panic around 7:55pm met them at 9:45pm, so basically waited almost 2 hours (45 mins. of party time) . My friend got in line for the witch at the same time and was second in line
Sttromboli was the surprise character at Pinocchio's Village Haus, when I walked by his line was not horrible, maybe 10 min (assuming because he wasn't listed)
I was live streaming so decided to do a quick walk around the park to look at the atmosphere and crowds. The park seemed pretty empty, rides all seemed like walk on except PP and 7DMT. The line for ice cream at storybook circus moved very quickly, never stopped.
Stumbled upon the Goofy m&g with only one party in front of me, went to the front of the park and met Clarabelle and Horace, again only one party in front of me. Mary Poppins, Bert and Penguins had about a 10 min line
My only complaint was the food lines, they were long, Casey's had aboout a 45 min line, Cosmic Ray's at 11pm was about 20 min wait for food. Other than that it was awesome, the fireworks were at 11:30pm, they were really fun. Characters meet and greet lines closed at 11:30pm so if you are coming in the future make sure to get in line before that time
