December in the Parks

[d4est]

Can anyone tell me if there is anything special going on in December? I am sure they decorate etc, but was wondering if there are any special activities going on?

Mk had MVMCP that is a hard ticket event.

MGM has Osbourne light that are just great and a special Holiday cars Parade

Epcot has Christmas around the world (different people talking about their X-mas traditions. CP with guest narrators,and a Tree lighting cerimony.

Ak has a Holiday Parade as well.

Most of the Resorts have really nice displays as well.

Lol, thanks I'mNoPrince. MVMCP is a must for us when we are at Disney, but I was looking for info at the Universal Parks...

We were there Dec 14 - 17. All the parks were decorated, and at IOA they had a meet and greet with the Grinch. The Grinch used to do story-telling in his lair. This year, no story, but you could still meet with the Grinch.

At USF, they have the Macy's Parade, and there is Balloonopolis (am I saying that right?) set up, so you can see some of the Macy's Parade Balloons and read and learn all about the history of the parade and what it takes to make the balloons, etc.

Also, if you're 18 or older, it's very easy to be part of the parade if you'd like. It pretty much means that you'd hold one of the ropes for the balloons.

We stayed at the RPR, and that was decorated beautifully as well. They had a giant tree and gingerbread houses. I would assume the other 2 hotels did as well.

Thanks! Sounds like fun. Pictures with the Grinch would be awesome!

We enjoyed our early December trip to Universal. Only have a blurred picture of the Grinch I'm afraid! I'm sure someone will be along with a better one soon.

One or two others of the park and parade.

Thank you for posting the pictures!! I cannot wait to go! Gonna try really hard to get DH to pose with the Grinch, since that is his holiday nickname. He is always teasing me & the boy that he is going to strap a horn on Poot's head (our dog) etc....
