When does it snow on Mainstreet?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
We are going to the MVMCP next Thursday and I am trying to figure out when I need to be where. . .
So my question is - When do they make it snow on Mainstreet? I read at Disneyland it is once a night after the 9:30 fireworks. Is this true at Disney World?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
Stacey

If I remember correctly they tend to make it snow periodically throughout the night. The snow doesn't stay on for long periods of time. They tend to do it like they do with the Osborne lights. Snow for a short burst, then off. Snow for a short burst, then off.

I remember it snowing as we were leaving the park right after the second parade during MVMCP.

In Disneyland last week, I loved it because the last shot of fireworks looked like a snowburst, then the music playing was "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" and the snow started falling on Main St., It was so beautiful that I cried on all 3 nights we were there for it.

Can't wait until next week when we get to WDW for our Christmas celebration.

We may run into you at the Poly next week. You arrive about 2 days before us.

You never know. I just posted in a separate thread that I was able to get an upgrade for an AP rate to Club Level. I've been trying to months to upgrade and it was never available and finally, I tried today and it was there, called Disney and upgraded, so we'll be in the Hawaii building.

Don't miss the Totally Tomorrowland Christmas Show if you'd like to see some snow. We REALLY enjoyed it!

I was going to say periodically throughout the night as well. That's what I recall.

Last week it snowed periodically throughout the night. I think we made our way to Main Street 4 times and 3 out of the 4 it was snowing. Have fun!

We were on Main street right at 7 when the party officially started and it was snowing then! It's so pretty, I love it! It also snows during the Osborne lights!

We're hoping for Tokelau or Rapa Nui. If you see two women who look a lot alike, one of which is on an ECV with a walking cast, that's me and my mom.

I know when we went in December 07 we did not go to the party and it did snow after the fireworks. This was just before Christmas. I am not sure if they do it earlier in the month also.

You should definitely be able to see it snow unless they changed things.We went on the same dates and missed MVMCP by a few days so it was a nice surprise for us. At the time I thought it only snowed during the party.
