Hello Kathy,
What a great special occasion to be celebrating at Walt Disney World. If I am reading your question correctly, I think that you are talking about
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party taking place on select dates from November-December 2010 at the Magic Kingdom Park. You need a separate ticket for this special event.
If you are just talking about the regular parades that you can see with your normal Park admission tickets I can advise you of the place you need to visit. You need to go to the
Calendar on the WDW Website which you will find by clicking on one of the Parks in the top left hand corner of the home page and from there the Calendar tab is located on the left hand side of that page then just select the month and away you go. Here is the schedule for
December 12, 2010 (the day you arrive) and just click on the
Next Day button on that page for the following days schedule and times for parades, etc...
The parade listed for Disney's Animal Kingdom during your trip is "
Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade" and you should look forward to seeing this one, it is one of my favorites!
Happy Celebrating,
Brigitta
