I’ve talked about my love for Disney before.
They say Disneyworld is the happiest place on earth.
And they say Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.
So Christmas at Disneyworld would mean you’re spending the most wonderful time of the year at the happiest place on earth, which should result in some sort of double ecstasy, right?
Yes, right.
If I lived in Florida right now, I would totally buy Disney world tickets for Mickey’s A Very Merry Christmas party.
I’ve spent many a day of Christmas fun at Disneyworld. I grew up a couple hours north of it and my family drove down all the time. Those were the days when a road trip was a road trip – no seat belt laws, no in-car DVD players, just me and my brothers and sister left to our own acrobatic devices in a big van while my parents drove. The ride to Disneyworld often involved lots of discussion on which rides we were to definitely get on (Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Tea Cups) and which attractions would not be of interest (Hall of Presidents, Dumbo – that line was always too long to make it worth it). In between discussions, I usually got carsick. Then we arrived at Disneyworld and all was better. The ride home often consisted of four passed out children and two tired adults.
Being in California now, I still have close access to a Disney park, but no matter how often I go to Disneyland, Disneyworld will always have a special place in my heart. Disneyworld, where Cinderella’s castle beats out Sleeping Beauty’s and where Space Mountain and Splash Mountain are cooler. Disneyworld, the park I associate with home, with being a child, with growing up. It’s hard to beat nostalgia. Which is why I really wish I could be in Florida right now, to go to Mickey’s A Very Merry Christmas Party.
Throughout December, Mickey and the gang will be celebrating the holidays in the lands of the Magic Kingdom, complete with fireworks, snow, and hot cocoa and cookies for one and all. Mmm… cookies. There is, in true Disney fashion, a Christmas parade, as well as a visit from Old St. Nick, and yes, Cinderella’s castle is decorated with no less than 200,000 lights. Think what you want, but Disney knows how to throw a party. You can even catch a rendition of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas in Tomorrowland. Does anyone else think that’s ironic? (“night before” vs “tomorrowland”)
So if you like Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck and Goofy and Pluto and all those other guys, buy Disney World Tickets for Mickey’s A Very Merry Christmas Party.
And if anyone wants to buy some tickets for me and family, along with plane tickets, I’d be ever so grateful. (I’m just kidding.)
(But seriously, if you want to…)
