Kristoff — 5'10" to 6'2". Warmhearted and quick-witted, with strong comedic timing

Online submissions close May 25, 2026 at 11:30pm ET. Potential in-person callbacks are scheduled for July 24 in Orlando, with candidates notified by June 10 if selected.

I've never encountered more than 2 or 3 in a park on a single day in the past. But with "limited" attendees, running into 50 to 100 would be more than noticeable, and I'm not a fan 🤷‍♀️

How many does it take?

MisterPenguin19 days ago

As mentioned, they almost always sell out. So, the same number of people in the park each party night. Which is rumored to be capped at 25K (a full and crowded day at MK is about 50K). Vloggers have no effect on that number, and even if they did, just how many vloggers do you think there are? 100? 1,000? 10,000?

ZachPL19 days ago

Probably be less vloggers, but it will still be sold out. At least in past years i've never found it overly busy, for the rides anyways.

I haven't been to MVMCP in a decade - we will be in WDW 11/9-11/16, and we bought tickets for Thursday, 11/12. It's the third party of the year, and a weeknight, so we're hoping that all the streamers and influencers will have gone opening night or the 9th. Traditionally, would this date be a less-insane party? We dont have a very ambitious game plan. It's just my 8-year old's first party (she's Autistic, so we are identifying a handful of "musts" and that's it).

Why would there be? I mean WDW found something that is extremely popular. It sells out every year. In fact, every year the price goes UP, and it still sells out. If a business finds something that its customers want, like, and continue to buy up.... why would the they decide to change anything? I mean sure if the numbers start to fall off, and there is some evidence that people are becoming tired with the old offerings, that's a reason to offer something new. But if already have something people want...why in the world would you disturb that?

We got for 11/20.

That sounds like a system issue. Dates have never sold out during the resort guest only phase.

The demand of these parties are amazingly high. In the old days, you could walk up to guest relations and purchase tickets for same day. That said, they oversold the parties way back then.

I clicked reload on the site 5 minutes before it opened, and there was a 5-minute virtual queue to get to the page. I got in maybe 20 seconds after it turned 4 am (I'm PST), and the date I wanted was already gone. Oddly, 3 hours later, the same 4 dates that I saw available (as a resort guest) are still available. Seems odd that all those dates sold out to resort guests in 20 seconds and then the 4 I saw are still available 3 hours later. Kinda bummed.
