[Dreaming of DisneyWorld]

Ok, my first two are related...
I purchased our Annual Passes over the phone. I was given a code and told to go to Guest Relations to pick them up. Can I do this at any of the four parks? And, can I also purchase a TIW card when I pick up the APs?

My second set of questions are in reference to MVMCP. This is our first time. (We've always done MNSSHP in the past.) Can anyone tell me...
1) Where is Belle's Enchanted Christmas Story? Is it in her usual storytime spot? How long does this last?
2) How long is the'Twas the Night before Christmas show?
3) I was looking at last year's map, and saw several character spots. Is Snow White & her prince in her "usual" spot, between Fantasyland and Toon Town? Who is in the Judge's Test during MVMCP?
4) Where do I find Donald Duck during this party? (He's DH's fave!)
5) What time is the castle lighting ceremony?
6) Where is the best place to get great pics of the toy soldiers in the parade?

TIA!

As far as I know, you can pick up Annual Passes from Guest Services at any of the four parks (including International Gateway at Epcot) and I think also Downtown Disney and you should be able to get your Tables in Wonderland card at the same time.

As far as the party goes, the only question I can answer with any certainty is the one about the parade - really so long as you're front row anywhere for this, you'll get good shots of the toy soldiers and all the other wonderful parts of the Christmas parade.

1) Where is Belle's Enchanted Christmas Story? Is it in her usual storytime spot? How long does this last?
yes, probably 20 mins or so.

2) How long is the'Twas the Night before Christmas show?
0 mins. it will no longer be happening. there is a new stageshow in tomorrowland though (on the stitch stage as the galaxy theater has been leveled)

3) I was looking at last year's map, and saw several character spots. Is Snow White & her prince in her "usual" spot, between Fantasyland and Toon Town? Who is in the Judge's Test during MVMCP?
Snow doesn't have a usual spot in Fantasyland. Her usual spot is in Germany in Epcot. For MVMCP, she's generally inside the Toontown Hall of Fame although she can also be by the stroller parking lot by IASW

4) Where do I find Donald Duck during this party? (He's DH's fave!)
Donald is generally out all day and for the party in his lumberjack outfit at his Tree Farm in Fantasyland. He trades off with Scrooge McDuck.

5) What time is the castle lighting ceremony?
Don't know yet, probably around 6:15

6) Where is the best place to get great pics of the toy soldiers in the parade?
depends on your equipment. probably any time they're facing you.

Beautiful shot, Brad. Looks like you were standing at the base of Main street with the Christmas Tree behind you and facing the castle.

Another good spot is at the curb in the Hub, with the walkway to Tomorrowland immediately behind you -- you get the same combination of them coming at you and turning.

It's a shame about "Twas the Night Before"... I always adored that show!

Sad to hear that the Twas the night before Christmas won't be there any more. I am happy that I went to see it last year.

Thank you all so much for your help! And, I should have clarified. We've been to MNSSHP three times and always see Snow & the Dwarfs near the teacups. We've never seen her prince, though! Thanks again!

I was looking at last year's map, and saw several character spots. Is Snow White & her prince in her "usual" spot, between Fantasyland and Toon Town?

Not sure if her location changes with the different parties, but for this year's MNSSHP, yes she and the seven dwarfs were located across from the Mad Tea Party on your way to Toontown (between Pooh's Playful Spot and Minnie's Country House if you're looking at park map). We never saw her prince.

But again not sure if this changes with the different parties?
