What
Special Holidays Happenings are at the Magic Kingdom?
Castle
Dream Lights -- When daylight has passed during the holiday season, Magic Kingdom guests can behold a breathtaking transformation during the Castle Dream Lights ceremony. Each evening November 8, 2010, through January 3, 2011, Cinderella and favorite characters decked out in holiday garb take to the stage and magically transform Cinderella Castle into an ice palace aglow with 200,000 white lights – a perfect centerpiece to a park all decked out with wreaths, bows, garland and towering Christmas trees.

the holiday season, showcasing a series of holiday themes including

of Christmastime sweets, and of course Santa and Mrs. Claus in a grand
finale. And for longtime Disney Christmas parade fans: Soldiers, Snowflakes
and dancing deer are all still in the parade. The parade features original

Tell
me more about Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, which kicks off at 7 p.m. on select evenings (after regular Magic Kingdom closing), is pure, time-honored Disney magic. Holiday revelers can sip cocoa, catch a "snowflake" on a fingertip and catch the spirit of the season through enchanting entertainment that includes live shows, fireworks, carolers and special character meet and greets. Dancing gingerbread, marching soldiers and Santa's sleigh parade down Main Street, U.S.A. to seasonal melodies during the twice-nightly "Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade". Cinderella Castle is draped radiantly with 200,000 glistening white lights and "Holiday Wishes, Celebrate the Spirit of the Season" fireworks lights the night sky during a pyrotechnics show orchestrated to holiday melodies.
The night wouldn't be complete without the forecasted flurry of snowflakes along Main Street, U.S.A. and a warming cup of cocoa in hand. Party-goers also enjoy complimentary cookies and apple slices and enjoy unlimited admission to favorite attractions.
Holiday stage shows include the following: Celebrate the Season
at the Castle and Totally Tomorrowland Christmas Show in
Tomorrowland's new theatre.
The parade is spectacular and is accompanied by great Disney Magic and

Buy
your tickets early! A number of MVMCP events SELL OUT! For more information,
call 407-W-DISNEY.
In previous years, the park would close and then reopen. Now the park
stays open through regular closing time. Be sure to get a special MVMCP
wristband before 7 p.m. Cast Members will direct guests without the
bands to leave the park.
This
sounds like a lot of fun, but is it overly crowded?
WDW limits the number of tickets sold in order to keep the crowds down
and many nights do sell out in advance. It is estimated that tickets
max out around 20,000. Check out the

I'm
not sure I want to spend the money for MVMCP. Is it a must-see?
If you
are on a budget, there is no need to attend MVMCP. Most all the decorations
are out during normal operating hours. What you will end up missing
(during the first half of December) is the Christmas Parade and special
fireworks.
