Have a Holly Jolly Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

The first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (or MVMCP) of the year is tonight, ringing in the Disney Holiday Season. Held at the Magic Kingdom on select nights through December 22, this is a festive and fun way to celebrate the holidays. With the chance to see magical fireworks, a parade and live shows, plus carolers, special characters, “snow” on Main Street and all the cookies and hot chocolate you want, it’s easy to see why this is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. A “hard ticket” event, MVMCP is not included as part of regular park ticket admission however, so if you want to attend, you will need to pay extra. Read more

Terrific Tuesdays: Treats at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

I’m not gonna lie, I have a major sweet tooth. And no where is that sweet tooth happier than at Walt Disney World. Treats abound at the Disney parks, Disney Springs, the resorts and dining locations and there is pretty much something for everyone.

Of course, if it’s the Holidays, then it’s pretty much guaranteed that there will be treats….and even more guaranteed that Disney will be in overdrive when it comes to those treats.

With that in mind, I present: Holiday desserts at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party: Read more
