What Special Holidays Happenings are at the Magic Kingdom?

Castle Dream Lights -- Cinderella Castle is adorned with thousands of shimmering white lights, covering the turrets and towers like a glistening blanket of ice. The twinkling lights create an elegant wintry effect perfect for the seasonal celebration.

Mickey's Once upon a Christmastime Parade celebrates the many festive moods of the holiday season, showcasing a series of holiday themes including a Friends and Family Christmastime Party, a sleigh ride through a Winter Wonderland, a romantic Fairy Tale Christmastime, a scrumptious display 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 music as well as both classic and current holiday tunes.

A number of special holiday shows take place from mid-December on.

The Magic Kingdom Tree lighting ceremony takes place most nights on Main Street.

Mickey's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas is performed several times daily beginning mid-December (Galaxy Palace Theater).

Celebrate the Season at Castle Forecourt Stage is performed daily beginning mid-December.

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is a special "hard ticket" event.

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 Reader Comments!

I have never been, what tips can you give me?

Buy a Disney Holiday Hat and Join in the Fun! Santa Hat's with Mickey Ears and Reindeer Horns with Mickey Ears are Available.

Ride the Mountains during the First Parade!

Enjoy the special shows.

Take in the Snow on Main Street!

Visit the characters in Fantasyland later in the evening.

Make sure to watch the Special Fireworks!

Watch the second showing of the parade.

Pace yourself -- the park empties quite a bit by midnight and you'll have most attractions to yourself.

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.
