I can only find the christmassy one... oh no wait, I found some more, just keep scrolling...maggie
'Twas the Night before Disney, and all through the house...
Not a creature was stirring, not even, my spouse.
The bags were all packed, by the front door with care,
With hopes that the limo, soon will be there.
My children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Mickey Mouse danced in their heads;
As I in my nightgown, with Spike snoring deep,
Had just settled down, for long, blissful sleep.
When out on the lawn, there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed, but tripped and went splatter.
I tripped to the window in a Goofy flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw open the sash.
The moon glared bright on the sudden cold snow
Gave me a headache to look at objects below,
When, what to my shivering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny Mouse ears,
With a little old driver, so spunky and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Mick.
More rapid than Pluto his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called us by name;
"Now Mickeymac, Now Slaveboy, now kids - I do call,
It's off to The Magic, come with me all!"
As magic dust that before wild pixies fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, race to the sky,
So up to the roof top, the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of miracles, and St. Mickey Mouse too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard, rather saw...
The prancing and pawing of each little paw.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Mick came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with pixie dust and soot;
A bundle of miracles he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like black cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;
He shimmered in magic, under halo beneath,
And the light circled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he giggled like a bowlful of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
I turned and I saw - we were all out of bed!
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And gathered our bags; then turned with a jerk,
And calling with a smile and a twitch of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
We sprang to his sleigh, he gave his team a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But we had to exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A UOG-NIGHT!"

oh wait here's another non xmas one:
Twas the night before disney, and all through the house
all the creatures were stirring, screaming "Where is the mouse?"
The bags were all stuffed in the minivan without care,
When methinks "Will we really need all that there?"
The kids were all duct taped tight to their beds,
while visions of It's a small world dance in their heads.
And momma in her hot-tub, shot-o-whiskey in hand,
and I at my chair reading notes from RADP-land.
When up pops a message bout kids missing from school.
I skip over that thread for the one about pee in the pool.
From there to the messages of Disney Cruise Ships
and where to get those frosty Dole Whips.
Our rooms are reserved with the AP rate code
we'll soon be calling POR our humble abode.
The stress of hard work starts to melt away quick
with each passing minute and countdown clock tic.
Only 19 more hours before we arrive
Let's hope Tiffany Town Car get's us there alive!
and another one:
Awhile back on another Disney board a post was started to come up with a Twas the night before WDW Poem! Many contributed and it was AWESOME!! My DD loved it and so we revamped it a little and she used it for her Oral Interpretation night!(For those of you not familiar with this, it is where the children pick a poem, memorize the poem, and then recite/perform it for their peers and their families. Very BIG deal to my daughter who aspires to be an actress someday! ) Anyway I wanted to share with you the final poem she performed that night!! I thought many of you would enjoy this!!
'Twas the Night before Walt Disney World BY AnonyMOUSE Performed by Emily
'Twas the night before Walt Disney World and all thru the house no one was sleeping thinking of Mickey Mouse. Momma has checked all the suitcases once more. Everything is packed and ready by the door! Everyone is all snuggled up in their beds... with visions of mickey bars dancing in their heads.
Too excited to sleep they ponder about Splash Mountain and Soarin'. Thinking of fast passes instead of snoring!
Looking at the clock to see how much time has passed by, Papa thinks of Ariel and lets out a sigh.
The children have their autograph books clutched in their hands and cannot wait till they make it down Mainstreet to Fantasyland!
When way down the hall there arose such a clatter. I slipped out of bed to see what was the matter.
There's Momma and Papa checking the ticket stash, "Oh my "says Momma, "We're gonna need more cash!"
Out by the window what did I see, is that Tinkerbell, or maybe Jiminy Cricket staring at me?
Ah I think it is just the neighbor's glowing porch light, I should get to bed and sleep a little tonight!!
Checking my watch, it's still hours till dawn, and I am sure that was Goofy I saw out on the lawn!!
Pretending to sleep is a skill all must master, While willing the clock's hands to spin a bit faster.
The visions of Disney make children anticipate the moment they finally arrive at Maingate!
ON DINOSAUR, ON DUMBO, ON TOWER OF TERROR... ON TEST TRACK, ON KALI, ON TEACUPS!! WHAT'S MERRIER?
I heard yet one more familiar voice this night
So I sprang from my bed and caught a glimpse of Snow White.
She was walking with 7 little guys down the lane, And she sounded so sweet as she called them by name:
"Come on Dopey, and Sneezy, Sleepy and Happy
And Grumpy, and Bashful, and Doc
Make it snappy!!
Back to Walt Disney World we need to go.
We have lots of folks waiting for us don't you know!!!
As I strained to see these 8 so familiar to me
I gazed in amazement beyond the oaktree,
A dress so yellow she wore, like the sun it did glow.
Her face as lovely and fair as the roses that grow!!
Seven there along with her hung to every word she'd say
All different but special in their own little way!
So off they went with a rhythmic HI-HO
Hurry, they must make it to their first show!
Now back off to bed for tomorrow will be
The first day of a journey so special to me,
As I pull up the covers and close my eyes tight....
I hear in the distance, HI-HO, HI-HO and a very good night!!
