Nooooooooooo! I just heard you guys say that next year Christmas time will likely turn into a ticketed event. I cannot tell you how sad this makes me. We went to WDW once and while we had fun, I was a little turned off that the special Christmas stuff was saved only for people who could pay more (which we did in order to see it all). But I didn't like spending extra for a party, and if you have young kids the parties are late and difficult to do. I love that in Disneyland it is Christmas the whole season...parades, fireworks and all the fluff takes place everyday
I guess I should be grateful that we are going this year, as this will probably be the last time we get to see the holiday extras.
