Partial review from last nights party 11/16
Went last night and focused on characters. Saw Fantasmic at 6:30 - getting out was a mess - they make you take the backstage walkway back to the front of the park - would be so much better to let party guests exit back on Sunset - took 20mins to get out.
Was mainly concerned about long wait times for Mickey and Minnie, Santa Duffy and Santa Stitch.
Decided to hit Mickey and Minnie first didn’t get to the line til about 7:25, they had a delayed opening for some reason, didn’t start letting guests in to meet them til after 7:35pm. Line took forever was quoted 50mins, there wasn’t that many people ahead of us, maybe 20 groups - didn’t think it would actually take that long. Finally met Mickey and Minnie at 8:20pm. Line was infuriating slow moving.
The majority of characters (Powerline Max, Goofy and Co, Jiminy, Clarice) - their lines only take 5-15mins.
We lined up for Santa Duffy during the fireworks, stated 30mins, only waited 16mins.
Never managed to meet Santa Stitch, his line was always 45mins + everytime I saw it. I wish they put his wait time on the app. We did have some time around 11pm, but we wanted to hit the last Muppets show at 12:15am and wanted a relax and to soak up some atmosphere. Plus after waiting in the MickeyMinnie line, it seems the Stitch line runs just as slow - didn’t want to do that to ourselves again. I asked the CM if it was really 45mins and he said yes. Apprently the way MickeyMinnie and Stitch’s line are ran, they just run slower.
Had a really great night, need to go to two nights however to fit everything in!!
