Happy
Holidays!
Finally,
it’s Christmastime at Walt Disney World! I have been wanting to go
to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party for about 14 years. I went
many moons ago, well before I moved to Alaska in 2000. Life was
crazy back then preparing for that move and once again we are crazy
getting ready to move to Ecuador. There was NO WAY that I was going
to miss the chance to go this time. My sister Amanda and I purchased
tickets in the middle of November since its normally a completely sold
out nightly event. And yes, it was sold out the night we were able
to go.
The
party starts at 7:00pm and ends at 12:00am. However, Disney does
allow people to enter the park at 4:00pm at no additional charge.
I
was planning to head out from Hernando, FL at 1:00pm...That was the
plan!!! Dan walked me out to our truck to kiss me goodbye. I turned
on the truck and the dashboard looked like something out of Star
Wars. Dan yelled turn the truck off after he saw the dash. He
opened up the hood and we were shocked at what we saw. I'll let Dan
fill in those details in as soon as we get the truck back from the shop!
At
about 1:30pm, I was finally able to head out to meet up with Amanda.

First
off, let me start by saying Disney World sets up the most beautiful
decorations.
We
went to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on the 9th
of December.
Now, between the hours of 4:00pm-7:00pm, Disney allows early entry to all MVMCP ticket holders. We got into the park at about 4:15pm and this allowed Amanda and I the chance to fit
in all but one of the rides we wanting to do. The lines were about 20 minutes or less. Now,
the signs out in front of most of all rides said 50 minutes or more. I
think they wanted the daytime people out of the park, so they left the
signs with long times. That is my personal opinion!
