Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party?

[HeartlessRiku]

Okay, im ashamed. I admit it. Out of all the years I've been around and known about Disney I've never made it to the Christmas party. I've only been to the Candelight Processional at EPCOT. -_- yes i know, pitiful ne?

So this year my mother dearest has finally granted my wish and said:
"Wanna go to the Very Merry Christmas Party?"
I was stunned to say the least.
She read my mind. Bout time too. Yeah...anyway.

All I've heard about it is that, there's gonna be "snow", pictures, treats, fireworks blah blah blah the whole shabang. But I've got a friend that's probably going who hasn't been sense they were 9 and hasn't ridden anything besides Small World.

-_-; so my ultimate goal is getting them on the more..."I am older now therefore I can ride the bigger things and not flip out" rides.

The other problem would be....they aren't that into Disney. I promised that I would get them to Disney one way or another and I actually got my chance and it's also the perfect Christmas present. I want them to have fun and enjoy themselves for 5 hours in cold weather at Disney.

So, anything special that you'd recommend we could try? I've also got my dearest mom *puppy face* and my lil 1 year old nephew. I would like this to be a Christmas thing to remember and leave us going.. "Uhm, why didn't we come before?" or something like that.

Advice and reccomendations are begged for, please!

Thanks,
Riku

i went last year and going this year on the 19th i think. i agree - the hot chocolate and cookies are the best!!
the snow is when they did the character show infront of cinderella's castle - there was snow coming from the sides of the stage!

I've never been there around this time of year, although I have been there a few times in early February and the weather was very nice then. Maybe you and your friend should do the not-so "Disney" rides, meaning the rides and shows that aren't like Disney movies.
