December Questions

[pigget74]

We have been to disney several times, but never in December. WE will be there from the 6th-11th. My questions are--is there a Christmas Parade/Holiday Parade--or is it only at the Mickey's CHristams Party that would be on the 9th of our stay? Also--what are the hours typically for Dcember? Trying to determine if I should by tickets for the Christmas Party or not.
Thanks,
HEather

The parade and some shows like Twas the Night before Christmas" are only at MVMCP and during the day only during the week of Christmas...

The hours have been that they are open till 6 on MVMCP nights and 7 non-MVMCP nights...maybe later on Saturday.

At this time of the month the Christmas Parade in MK s only held during MVMCP (Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party). The dates during your stay are Dec 7, 9, and 11. I think there are actually two (identical) parades during MVMCP.

Park hours are short, but as the parks are not crowded you can do a lot of attractions. I recall on most days AK 9:00-5:00, MK 9:00-6:00, MGM 9:00-6:00/7:00, EPCOT 9:00-7:00 (Future World), 11:00-9:30 (World Showcase). Maybe somewhat longer hours at MK and MGM on the weekend.

I highly recommend getting the tickets to MVMCP. It's a lot of fun. I've gone a couple of times, and always had a blast.

They don't have the Christmas Parade during the day until after the last MVMCP (probably around the 20th). MVMCP and the Christmas Parade are always highlights of our December trip (have gone the past 5 years). Going Dec 6 to 12 this year, probably MVMCP on Dec 9.

We loved MVMCP! The parade is fun, the fireworks are second to none! My DH was a Disney skeptic until we went to MVMCP. Have fun!! :
