Mickey's very merry Christmas Party, Magic Kingdom
It is my second visit to Magic Kingdom and this time Ani booked a special ticket, Mickey's very merry Christmas Party. I had no clue what this event meant and why it was priced differently than the regular day ticket that is $99 per person which is not very cheap. I grew more mad knowing we were allowed inside the park only after 4pm. What will we enjoy in such short time? My hubby could see the question on my face and assured me rubbing my back, you will thank me for this day.
Grumpy and sad I stared at the Disney clock; we still had one and half hour to enter the park. We clicked lot and lot of photo, delighting Anika at the same time with cookies, kids watching. I end up reading the whole event brochure.
It was almost time and we jumped first to line up in the que. People with regular day pass were exiting the park and that is when i felt a lot VIP when they were letting the special ticket holder usher in. A live choir performance herald the beginning of next adventure.
Our tickets got scanned with neon bands tied to our hands. My exhilaration doubled as I never felt this welcomed before. Today I am going to share with you why you need to make a special trip to attend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
MARVEL AT THE DECORATIONS
Handing Anika to Ani I hopped inside spending a fair amount of time just wandering the park aimlessly - not trying to get to a ride, not looking for food, not heading to see a show - just admiring the decorations and the general vibe of Christmas spirit.
ENJOY FREE TREATS
I stock up enough cookies to snack on later and feed Anika in case she was in mood for some sugary treats. The hot cocoa and eggnog were a nice way to keep our hands warm and toast while we walked around the park as the night grew chilly.
PARADE
We were lucky to grab a spot right infront of the main stage of Cinderella’s Castle. This event promises mostly stage show performance throughout the night and two parades. We didn't want to miss any of mickeys and friends dance show and for that we need to be close enough to view the dance.
This is also the spot where you’ll find Mickey and the gang performing Mickey’s Most Merriest Christmas Party, a show where Mickey invites all of his friends over to celebrate the holiday season. They sing Christmas carol new and old, some familiar, some not. You’ll even see the gang from Toy Story gracing the stage during this production, along with Snow White, Peter Pan, and Alice.
The cast from Frozen played a prominent role since they’re really in their element in the wintertime. My jaw dropped when I saw the castle dripping with icicles and lit up to look like an ice palace.
Also the parade begins from the Cinderella's castle so to take benefit of both I guessed we had booked the right spot. Remember you need to be 45mins earlier to save your prime. There was still an hour left for parade begin and gladly, Anika slept in this whole waiting time period. In the parade I loved the float with all of the princesses coupled with their princes, and the dancing nutcrackers and reindeer were a hit with all the kids. Naturally Santa was the grand finale of the parade.
FIREWORKS SHOW
The crown jewel of the entertainment at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is the Holiday Wishes fireworks show which takes place every night at 10 p.m. The show is spectacular, the songs are moving, and it’s the perfect way to end your evening. (Unless you’re staying for the 11 p.m. parade to avoid the crowds!) Look for the snow falling on Main Street and around the castle during the parade; it’s absolutely magical!Even as someone who is not a big fan of parades, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas time had me smiling and dancing along with the music.
In the end of the show i did gave a big smile baring all my front teeth thanking non stop to Ani, oh yes, you were very very right. This will be the night i shall never forget. '
Wish you all a very merry Christmas!
