Photos / Videos: Perennial Holiday Favorites Light Up the Magic Kingdom During Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
The holiday season officially kicked off at Walt Disney World last night with the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. This year saw the return of many perennial favorites, including Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade and Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks.
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
Main Street U.S.A. comes alive with the yuletide spirit of dancing gingerbread men, marching toy soldiers and beloved Disney Characters as they float by, waving hello. There’s even a special appearance by Santa Claus–riding in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. The parade features the changes introduced last year, which include an updated soundtrack.
