Oh no! That’s my date too. I would love more reports from people who attended a sold out night - either this year or in the past. I now think my character time estimates weren’t conservative enough.
I keep thinking of additional questions. Does Mickey meet during the parade? Thinking of catching the parade near its beginning in Frontierland and rushing over to town square to meet him before the parade finishes.
thank you for that I'm primarily going for the shorter ride lines, so hopefully it's not too bad.
Yes, they’ll still be out after the fireworks. Not all meet until midnight, however, and CMs will cut the lines once they feel the current queue will take the characters to their stopping time, so definitely don’t wait until the very end of the night to try and line up. But we always plan one for right after the fireworks as lines will usually be a bit shorter at that time.How late do the characters stay out for meet-and-greets/pictures? Are they still around after fireworks?
I see that my party date (12/1) is sold out I hope the crowds aren't too crazy...
Cool. What are the odds of us being able to meet Jack and the 7 Dwarfs during that space between the end of fireworks and whenever they close up shop for the night? I know these are two of the most popular meets, so I expect long waits and that's fine. Meeting them is literally the only priority once fireworks are over.Yes, they’ll still be out after the fireworks.

First time party goer here! A few people mentioned Santa Goofy is sometimes at AK, can anyone confirm seeing him there, when, and where? We're also hoping to see MMMC either right before or right after the 11pm parade. Do spots near the stage fill up fast or do most people try for spots on Main St for the snow?
How was the line?I was there just last week and he was meeting with Pluto in Dinoland. If I remember correctly it was right around Primeval Whirl. Kenny the Pirate has it listed as the Gas station in Dinoland. Hope this helps. We saw him I think right around 2ish? He is out most of the day though I believe.
It depends per character because some do have to close the lines early which I know was the case for the Princes. I would ask the character attendant for the character early on in the night.How late do the characters stay out for meet-and-greets/pictures? Are they still around after fireworks?
I think Fridays sell out faster. Maybe because it's the first Friday in December, or first Friday after Thanksgiving week.Is it typical for random dates to get sold out? By random I mostly mean dates that aren't the first and last parties and dates that aren't right near the holidays. Just seems surprising that 12/1 is sold out. Is this typical?
