Hi all! So my last update was Park Day One at Magic Kingdom. Were getting the trip started off with an old favorite - a 10am breakfast at Ohana and well be checking out the Christmas decorations at the Polynesian. I had a hodgepodge wish list of all the things I wanted to do and all the new things I wanted to try at MK. Itll be interesting to see how many things we can cross off that list or hold onto for another MK day, because this first MK day ends at 7pm for
..
Day One continued

MICKEYS VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS PARTY
Hours: 7pm midnight

.. because Ive never been!)
I cannot tell you how excited I am for this! Weve been to Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party and LOVED it. Ive read a lot how people say
MNSSHP is much better then MVMCP and Im OK with that. I know going into this party that Im not going to worry so much about the rides as I am with all the shows and events and characters, etc going on. Its all new to us and I know we wont catch everything, but Im ready to love it all.
I downloaded a
park map of last years party to get mostly an idea of what to expect and Ive been reading a lot of reviews and hints and tips. I have a list of all the
characters that were out last year and the
shows that they had. I know where all the
cookies and hot cocoa, sliced apples and apple juice stations are and I know to sit in my favorite spot in Frontierland for
parade viewing (and to skip the first parade in favor of the second one!) and that it will
snow on Main Street.
So. Frickin. Excited!
Here are some more things we want to do:
As many
Character Meet and Greets as we can but these ones for sure:
Alice and the Queen of Hearts
Genie, Carpet and Abu
Christmas Belle and Beast
Woody and Bullseye
Christmas Mickey and Minnie
Snow White and Prince Charming
Magic Kingdom at night pictures Ive always wanted to get more pictures of MK lit up at night and the decorations should be incredible!
Holiday Wishes Celebrate the Spirit of the Season Fireworks

Im hoping we get a great spot in the Hub.
Castle Dream Lights I know this show will actually be on just before MVMCP starts and it will be a must see.
Totally Tomorrowland Christmas Show in Tomorrowland with Stitch, Buzz and Mike Wazowski. How fun would it be to see Mike Wazowski !?
Bring our
letters to Santa and mail them from Candy Cane Garden!
The
Fantasyland Pavilion Cotillion dance party was at Ariels Grotto last year but I havent read yet where it will be this year instead. Does anyone know?
Belles Enchanted Christmas Belle tells the story of her enchanted Christmas. Its a smaller seating, quiet event at Fairytale Gardens a few times throughout the evening. Ariana would love it!
Celebrate the Season show on the castle stage. Mickey and Minnie are joined by Santa Goofy for a zany Christmas treat.
I want that bow for my hair!

Not sure yet if we're going to do anything special like making shirts. I remember a TR where they had peppermint Mickey heads that were cute but I don't know yet if we will.
OK, so here is where I need everyone to share with me all your thoughts, ideas, past experiences, things that you've read, pictures.... EVERYTHING about Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I really, really want to see it all! So speak up everyone.... followers and lurkers alike!
