So I do not know how I've gotten so lucky but I have 2 reservations for BOG on Nov. 10th. We are going to be at MVMCP that night and we have the choice of 6:15pm and 8:35pm for BOG. I have never been to Disney, I have no clue what to expect from the mvmcp. I know I do not want to miss the party just to eat there. What time would be best for us newbies? Please help!!!
I'd probably go with the 6:15 since the party doesn't technically start until 7. That way you'll be less likely to miss festivities and you'll have more time in the park after the non-MVMCP ticket holders have been kicked out. The later into the evening the better for shorter lines and better views of the parade/fireworks.

This...unless there's a particular popular character that you want to meet because lines for popular characters like the 7 dwarfs, Sandy Claws, etc. will start forming around 5:00. But probably since it's your first party, fireworks & parade will be more important, so most likely the earlier time is a better choice.
By the way, I'm at MVMCP that night, too!!

Never done MVMCP before but I also would go with 6:16 given the time line and choices.
