<font color="blue"> ºoº I was remembering a few things that happened to me and others at the Magic Kingdom's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

ºoº Each MVMCP ticket should receive a free photo with each ticket.

ºoº When I was by myself, I filled out the mailing card after showing my MVMCP armband or ticket and they checked me off a list and they took my picture in front of a holiday theme. When I received the picture, they had put a Disney border around the picture.

ºoº When I went with a group after having dinner together at Crystal Palace before the MVMVP started, we headed off to the Adventureland and we each filled out a mailing address card and requested that the ten of us be in the same photo. They helped us arrange three rows, and tool one photo, but took all of our cards and they mailed us each picture from the single photo.

ºoº I say all this because I have seen families with three or four or more family members with each family member with their own MVMCP tickets, but the people handing out the cards said that they could only send one picture to only one address each regardless of the number of people in the family living at the same address.

ºoº If you are a family, why don't you say that you need a different mailing address card for each one of your MVMCP tickets, because you are going to mail each card to a different address. Then you could fill out a card to your grandparents and brother or sister or other relative, depending on how many tickets you have. Or if you personally want more than one photo then mail it to another address, such as your office, or friend or neighbor. They will collect all your cards and only take one picture of your family, like they would for a group. This way you can share the picture with others.

ºoº Also, don't forget to pick up your MVMCP pin and hot chocolate and cookies. The MVMCP pin is not the small WDW pins that you but, but are the stamped out pins that are a couple of inches in diameter.

ºoº If you like to collect WDW pins, they do sell the MVMCP tradeable pin. I have always had to go to the MK Mainstreet store and ask the lady behind the counter for one. And I think that they only sell them on the night of MVMCP is held. Of course, my experience at buying these pins are in the first week of December. They may sell them out in the open later in December.

ºoº Well, I hope that I am not repeating old information and if I am wrong, I'm sure a more experienced Passporter will update it here.

ºoº I hope to see some of you this December. I'll be going to MVMCP on December 9th and maybe the 2nd.

ºoº I'll also be at the Passporter Mousefest DCL Wonder Cruise on December 5th.

Pins - I remember that they sell different pins for each MVMCP. So if you go twice, you'll get 2 different pins. I believe they are limited to 2 per ticket.

And they sell special tee shirts for the party. How many Disney tee shirts can one person have.

<font color="blue"> ºoº Hi, LoveMickey. ºoº

ºoº I think you're right. I wonder what else they are going to sell this year...lol. Disney knows how to make money. ºoº

ºoº I see that you're going to Mousefest this December. I am, too. ºoº

They have special pins for AP holders to buy, too, right? I've seen them from previous years on eBay. I'll be at MVMCP on 12/16 -Stephanie

Thanks for the info! I am hoping that I can send another picture to myself to another address, will try it this year and see what happens. Are your names printed on the tickets for the MVMCP? Also thanks for the little tidbit about the pins, I will have to ask about them too!

I know for sure that we got 5 photos of our family last year, and we only have 2 addresses to send them to. I think we actually may have had them all sent to the same address, because I think we got them all at the same time. I'm pretty sure we each filled out a card. I'll see what the others remember tonight.

Thanks for those great hints and advice Ray!

When we went to MVMCP last year, it was just my husband and I and we do, of course, live at the same address. But Disney still got us to each fill out a card and we received one photo each in the mail afterwards. Perhaps some of the CM's manning the tables in front of the photo booths are not as knowledgable as others so I would just make sure that they give you one card to fill out for each and every member of your party, even if you all have the same address.

And you're so right about the MVMCP pins being kept under the counter out of sight. You do indeed have to ask for them. I didn't even find out that they existed until after we had attended the party so we were out of luck last year. This year I'll be ready for them.

Hi Ray,

Are you saying that you get a free MVMCP pin with your ticket? If so where do you pick it up? I am sure going to check out the ones they sell too.

<font color="purple"> Last December when I went to MVMCP there were cast members handing them out to you as you entered the Magic Kingdom, I took two.</font>

<font color="blue"> ºoº Hi, Bob. The free pin that I am trying to describe is not the tradeable pins that you buy. It is a stamped pin, about three inches in diameter, and decorated with a MVMCP holiday scene. I have always picked one up when I went to take my MVMCP photo.

ºoº The special tradeable MVMCP pin that costs money, I have found on Mainstreet in the store, and I had to ask the castmember behind the counter for one. Years ago, the special, MVMCP, tradeable pin that you had to pay for was the same pin for every MVMCP night. Then last year or the year before, they started making a separate MVMCP, tradeable pin for each one of the MVMCP nights. WDW knows how to make money on pins...lol.

I hope that this makes since. If I knew what they call the three inch, stamped, non-tradeable, MVMCP pin, believe me I would. Does anyone else know what this pin is called?

ºoº Bobmouse, if you would like, I will be glad to give you my MVMCP pin from last year.

ºoº And come to think of it, concerning the pictures, those people may not even be castmembers at the photo sessions at the MVMCP.

ºoº So even if they ask how many are in your party, like a mom, dad, and two children, and they only hand you one mailing card to fill out by mistake. Ask them for four mailing cards so that you can get a picture for each MVMCP ticket that you bought. Since that is included in each ticket price.

ºoº And hi Matt.
