Hi Cristy! Welcome to planDisney.
You are just two days away from your magical arrival at
Walt Disney World Resort. Sounds like you will be enjoying a day at
Magic Kingdom Park on the same day as
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Because of the early park closure, the crowds can be lower during the day. I personally did this exact thing this week. By the time I was ready to park hop, I had completed my complete attraction wish list.
At park closure time, you can expect Cast Members to begin to ask guests to show their wristbands to access the attractions. Without a party wristband, you will start to be directed in a one-way flow toward the exit of the park. As you pass the stores on Main Street U.S.A. you should not have any issues browsing the stores for your last-minute souvenirs. Be sure to check out the
50th Anniversary Celebration Merchandise. I love the retro vibe of the
Vault Collection.
Enjoy some festive fun while at Magic Kingdom Park with a pun-filled cruise on the holiday-themed
Jingle Cruise in Adventureland. And look for those golden
Disney Fab 50 Character Collection statues throughout the park.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
