You thought I was going to say rum, didn’t you? Well, no, Disney doesn’t serve rum in the park, so we will be toasting the holidays with hot chocolate in a great Disney mug!
Speaking of great Disney mugs, they are available at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Mickey throws a great party at the Magic Kingdom Park with holiday cheer, hot chocolate, Christmas cookies, and a Magical Christmas parade! Cinderella’s Castle promises to be spectacular in its magical Frozen transformation this year. On party nights, MK park closes early and the party guests (must have park ticket and MVMCP ticket too) have exclusive hours from 7:00 pm to midnight to ride, watch the parades and have snacks of hot chocolate and cookies on Mickey! Party nights are November 7, 10, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21 and 30; and December 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 19, 2014. Be sure to make your reservations early so you can attend the party while you are having your Christmas Disney vacation… the closer to Christmas the party the faster it sells out!
