Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

Remember back in October when I spent two days talking about how great the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party was? Well all this week I want to tell you about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! We went to the party on the second day hoping that since it was still November the crowds might not be as large as they were for the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party… ah no. The crowds were large but some others we ran into during the party said that last year same time, there were even more people! What was really fantastic about the night (besides all the special events that I will tell you about) is that everyone was in the Christmas spirit already. It was hard not to be with snow falling, Christmas carols, Christmas cookies and hot coco.
We loved Mickey’s Not so Scary Halloween Party but Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas was even better. There was more to do at the Christmas Party than the Halloween Party. Here is a list of all the special things there are to do at the Very Merry Christmas (and it is also a list of everything we will be talking about this week)…

•Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade (8:15 and 10:30)
•Holiday Wishes Celebrate the Spirit of the Season (9:30)
•Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas (7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:15, 11:15)
•Celebrate the Season Stage Show (7:45, 10:05, 11:20)
•Belle’s Enchanted Christmas (7:15, 8:10, 10:00, 11:15)
•Character Dance Parties

With careful planning and jazzed up on Christmas cookies and coco Norwood and I were able to do everything on the list except one thing… Belle’s Enchanted Christmas. We wanted to catch the last show of the evening but at the last minute decided to go back to Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas. Although we missed Belle’s Christmas storytelling we did catch the Character Dance Party at the Starlight Café which we missed when we went to the Halloween Party.



At the Character Dance Party they play classic dance music and the hosts on the stage direct you in some dance moves (at one point there was a restaurant wide conga line) and to add to the fun various characters come in and out of the party. Two dancers we saw a lot of were Goofy dressed as Santa and Pluto (he could really boogie). When we got tired of dancing ourselves we headed over to see the two stage shows that evening, Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas and Celebrate the Season. I will tell you more about Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas tomorrow…
